Destroying Infrastructure not a War Crime
Bill H. responds to Maurizio Morabito's post:
Destroying infrastructure is most certainly not a war crime. It is a normal method of conducting war and has been since the beginning of time. It is what we did in Baghdad, which has not fully restored its power and water infrastructure to this day. We did the same in Afghanistan before that, and in Panama, in Grenada, and in Vietnam.
In war, you are not merely fighting an opposing army, you are at war against an opposing nation, and you have to break not the army but the nation’s will to fight.
That it is "not used for propaganda or even to justify further sanctions†is a circular argument. It is not being so used for the simple reason that it is not a war crime.
That "we are failing the Ukrainiansâ€is equally absurd. The Ukrainians are reaping what they sowed, and we have no responsibility whatever to protect them from their own actions.
