Now if those Ukrainian drones started clearly targeting civilian aircraft and civilian portions of airports and killing russian civilians at a mass scale, that would be a different question, which is another way of saying Ukraine does not fight in a manner anywhere near as cowardly as russia does. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 child) Nobody is getting to keep their hands clean in a war.
