They are purposely targeting hospitals and schools. That falls solidly in the category of genocide. Can we fix it? I doubt it, but some incredibly strong response is needed. Trump won't spank his buddy Vlad, but whoever replaces him needs to impose sanctions that cripple the Russian economy. Putin is already shaky, and an economic collapse may finally get his attention.As we've learned, the radical Islamic groups like ISIS or political remnants of dictatorships like the Baathist's that have druthers will set up shop in hospitals and schools which they know we won't just bomb like they're doing. If Putin is already shaky, then leaving it alone for now is probably best.
Not all strong actions lead to war.
What a bunch of crazy rot, Classic.

we've staggered into drunk on hubris. Of course doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
