    I don’t blame civilians, I merely observe that they will also partake of collective punishments brought on by the bad decisions of their political leaders. It is always so, in war. And they elected those leaders, let us not forget…

      I appreciate you do not blame the civilians.

      I will repeat it was never a war.

      Collective punishment isn’t a thing in modern warfare and is definitely a crime against humanity.

      This is an example of a corrupt politician getting a shit ton of civilians killed to stay out of prison. Not something you get to respond with an ongoing civilian massacre to.

        I appreciate you do not blame the civilians.

        I don’t think that ordinary right-thinking individuals would want this situation in its current form.

        Unfortunately those are rarely the ones who are making the large scale decisions.

        Particularly in recent times.
