All of those things have happened. Straight up. And again there's no excuse for it. But it could also be much, much worse, particularly if the Russians decided to actually bomb civilians and target things like water treatment plants, utilities and so forth.

I concur, and to be clear I'm only noting that to counter disinformation that only military targets were hit, not as a criticism of your post.
