      Well, that’s the funny thing. If a nation does it, it isn’t considered “terrorism”. If you open that door, then the US gets implicated, too, because they’ve also been involved in terrorist activities. So, it serves US interests to keep the definition narrowly defined to non-state actors.

      Too chicken shit to do that since its russia. They only do that to small nation they can bully around. If its another superpower, they engage in proxy war and cower behind NATO or other nation such ukraine/hong kong.

      The US bombed every cathedral in Germany worse than this. This is what happens in war. You should devote your energy to stopping wars, not trying to get them to be “nicer”. War will never be nice.

        Ah yes, a completely fucking irrelevant comparison.

        Germany was under NAZI RULE. Actively ongoing a genocide, killing tens of thousands every single day.

        There were no precision weapons. It was the 1940s you dumbass.

        If US or UK was in a war today, not one heritage site would be touched. You know why? Because we have precision weapons to hit the enemy.

        Get the fuck out of here with these bitch ass excuses trying your hardest to suck putins dick.

      Because then you would have to classify every state in the world with an army as one
