And I have argued that we should not have hit cities.
I was talking about post-Cold War US policies. We do not intentionally target civilians. None of these involve targeting civilians: " Abu-Gharab, Guantanamo, the brutal exit from Afghanistan"
The extent to which we have tolerated "collateral damage" (civilian casualties) when we are targeting militants has varied. Trump gave the OK for a much lower threshold.
But Putin is in a whole different category.
