    Should this just continue? Bad things happening to Ukrainian civilians and no consequences for Russians?

    If bad things happening to Ukrainian civilians is justification for the same to happen to Russian civilians, then congrats, you just justified 9/11. Attacking civilians in war is abhorrent behavior no matter who does it; if Ukraine gets to do it then Russia does too. Also the idea that Ukraine is out of options is divorced from reality when they’ve wreaking havoc on Russian oil and military infrastructure for months. Ukraine has—and is using—plenty of options that don’t involve terror bombing.

      I’d agree this goes into morally grey area, but let’s not compare bombing warehouses (which I read had a “stuff for Special Military Operation” category on their shop) and bombing flats, schools and hospitals.

        Ignoring the “stuff for the special military operation” part (because that is a valid point of debate), they’re different magnitudes of the same thing, so they deserve the same kind of condemnation in different amounts.

          Okay, so then it’s like 10 fingers pointed at Russia for every 1 at Ukraine. Where is the debate? You want Ukraine to be at 0? How does that make sense?
