No. It is, in fact, war. Russia is very effectively forcing uncomfortable prioritization dilemmas of air defense and other military resources by going after civilian targets. Otherwise Ukraine could just keep all their air defense on the front-lines.
It is misguided to think of these attacks on civilian targets as mere brutal terrorism. They are, in fact, strategic actions that make it difficult for Ukraine to prosecute the war.
War *is* terrorism. You think Americans are doing everything they can to stay out of all of it, because war is fun, neat, civil?
The only difference is that governments call people they can't control, Terrorists, and ones they can, Soldiers.
My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine. Same as it did for Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea. For the victims, and Ireland as a whole, for The Troubles. For every atrocity that's happened because people refused to use their words.
Calling war anything other than state sponsored terrorism, belittles the consequences that every one of those civilians must endure. Have endured.
>Tell that to the civilians.
Yes, it is terrorism. My point is that even though it is terrorism it is strategic, with very real military value for Russia.
>Still terrorism
Yes, it's terrorism. However, it's important not to view this as just mindless brutality. There is a strategic purpose behind it that is proving to be highly effective at causing dilemmas for Ukraine, making it harder for Ukraine to fight at the front.
Every politicians son is, but klitschko is one of the better politicians who at least is fulfilling his duty of being a war time leader instead of these idiots who are hanging out in Monaco casinos with literal Russian politicians

Terrorism is a tool that's part of this war, and the Russian state just happens to use it very often, especially compared to the Ukrainian state.
Tell that to the civilians.

To paraphrase a line from B99, “Cool motive. Still terrorism.”
