The scale of suffering is incomprehensible during wars, it is reprehensible and beyond reproach (sickening in short).<p>Having said that, I encourage people (some probably too young to seen that) to research (warning graphic) city of Nis in Serbia being bombed by NATO forces in operation that have code names "humanitarian strikes" etc. NATO and US have used cluster bombs in many strikes, even using depleted uranium balls in Iraq and Yugoslavia. Heating and power plants have been targeted by NATO in Belegrade, I can go on for hours with this and more horrifying statistics themselves, the failed states with irreparable ethnic tensions it left behind, etc... but that is not the point. (To the point UA has used cluster bombs in Donetsk on civilian targets prior to the invasion... look it up)<p>Wrongs of other without any doubt and question do not justify doing wrong yourself. However, we (west) should hardly feel morally superior in the context of waging war, or feel any less brutal. And even more so, try to justify what was done is anything else than aggression, just as the conflict in UA is one. I very much dislike the double-standards fueling uncontrolled hate of assumed own moral superiority. (Wars are barbaric, protest, rebel against them and denounced using of any bombs (including cluster ones or thermal, or vaccum), but without the self-righteous misplaced moral hate against entire civilization most of which do not make these decisions).
