Why does Russia think...

[Halo]

... that it gets to commit war crimes by bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure deep into Ukrainian territory but Ukraine cannot bomb military installations deep in its territory?

Clearly politicians when running a war, like they did in Vietnam, cannot even appeal to the true moral high ground. They long ago could have made that one sentence assertion to allow ATACMS deep into Russian territory. Russia like Israel has been committing war crimes against civilians. You never really heard that called out every time a missile hit an apartment building in Kyiv or Lviv.

Why? Neocons, State Dept. and CIA wanted a slow, life grinding war. That's why.

Was NATO expansion worth it? Whatever rump state of Ukraine remains if any, the answer will be a resounding no.

Okay, Mearsheimer. ;0)

Expansion was well worth it. BECAUSE YOU SEE NATO IS A PEACE TREATY AND NOT A MILITARY ALLIANCE. That is what NATO is today. A peace treaty between all the member states and only later a military treaty against external threats!

Trying to include Ukraine was an abomination intended to start a war. That was the crossed line.
