Oh yeah perfectly valid. Urban terrain is best defensive terrain. Hard to spot from the air or a distance and the buildings shield you from counter-battery fire as you reposition. Force preservation and effective delivery of firepower take priority over civilians. It's not a matter of generating sentiment by provoking a response against civilian areas, it's just that if you put your artillery outside in the open fields the Russian jets will blow them up.

The beast is also consistent.

standing out in the open with your artillery guns is just dumb on any occasion, unless you maintain air superiority in a large radius. regardless of who does it, its a sound military strategy to hide your assets in urban areas.

people need to be careful and think twice when talking about what a "war crime" is or isn't.

Trying to apply rules to war is a politician's arm chair game, the fact of the matter is that war itself is the breakdown and failure of all rules to begin with.

In Putin's case, no matter what he does, he isn't coming back from this one way or the other. Should he manage to take all of Ukraine, he still isn't going to have a friend left in the world.

The chinese are gonna stand there and sell stuff to russia, in the hopes that they will have 1 person in the world who agrees with their imperialistic moves in the future. For now, they aren't stupid, and they play the looonngg game. the 100 year game. If it comes out that chinese shells and bullets are in ukraine, thats gonna result in some other major problems, and they know it.

Never assume your enemy is stupid or insane, even if they really are.

Putin may or may not win the Ukrainian war, but he absolutely will not win the ideological war. He has to know this.

So, its gonna get alot worse before it gets better, Alot worse.

I am dubious of folks that shoot from civilian locations.

Then say the other side is killing civilians.

But biden isnt, maybe he smarter than me.

Maybe he's Maybelline (satan)

Artilery being fired from civilian areas. This was said to be why Palestine civilians were being killed by our leadership 6 months ago.

Ill give horza one thing, he's consistent, he was saying this was an OK practice by the Palestinians then too.

The language worked to convince american majority that it was ok to bomb civilians then, so I am sure in Russia the sentiment cant be too different.
Pretty sure when people invade you're country using cluster munition and vacuum bombs you're allowed to use any means you want to defend your country.

Russia is targeting schools with vacuum bombs.
Russian forces have been accused of using the widely banned and dangerous weapons known as vacuum bombs that "obliterate" their victims.

Amnesty International accused Russia of using vacuum bombs, or thermobaric weapons, to attack a preschool in northeastern Ukraine while civilians took shelter inside. CNN reported that one of its teams had spotted a Russian thermobaric multiple rocket launcher near the Ukrainian border early on Saturday afternoon.

Oksana Markarova, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, told reporters after meeting with members of the U.S. Congress on Monday that Russia had used a thermobaric weapon.

"They used the vacuum bomb today," Markarova said after a meeting with lawmakers. "The devastation that Russia is trying to inflict on Ukraine is large."

Doh..

So you're saying russia is allowed to do this because one country is slowly destroying another one in the middle east?? You're just a sick evil person. You want kids to die so you can blame everyone else. Isnt russia the shining christian light of the world these days?? Not very christian to invade your neighbor..

You'd drive much better if you faced 10 years in the zone for speeding.
