russians would be more against the war if their own towns were being blown up
They would be more in favor actually - they now seem themselves as targeted and so the war is saving them.
- They aren’t asking for consent to attack orc huts
- Attacks on civilians typically, and counter-intuitively, increase support for a war

He isn’t the one responsible, but I can see his henchmen being more comfortable without that.
Yes please. I want to see Moscow glow in the night like an ember in a coal pit.
Just because Russia is doing it doesn’t mean it’s fine for Ukraine to do it too. Bad guys target civilians.
They’ll eventually have to though. War is war.
Targeting civillians is well known to cause civillians to become more supportive of war and so is a bad idea. You target the military and make the war seem like a lot of senseless deaths to civilians who eventually realize they have to pay for it but don’t see any gains.
Intentionally targeting civilians isn’t war, it’s a war crime and it’s terrorism. Ukraine has nothing to gain by committing war crimes and everything to lose, such as support from their allies and thus, the war.
