Russia is bombing no less indiscriminately than Israel, it's just a much larger theater of war, their aiming capabilities suck and their shit gets shot down a lot before ever reaching anything.

They do the exact same thing day in day out. Taking out a cluster of civilians is probably worth an extra ration of vodka or even worse, a promotion, at this point.

Two wars of terror, if you want. Irony is stone cold dead at this point.

Do you really need citations over russian war crimes in Ukraine?

Okay.

Wikipedia has a nice summary, feel free to browse the sources yourself.

..and just because I'm nice, here's a little something about the booze, which really was just me joking a bit, but sadly there's some truth there too. From The Hill:

"..The British Ministry of Defense identified heavy drinking as “particularly detrimental to combat effectiveness” of Russian troops, significantly contributing to the high death rates.

The use of non-alcoholic drugs by combatants, such as opium, heroin, cannabis and amphetamine, has historically been equally widespread, and the Russian military today is no exception."
