Airstrikes are one of the worst parts of war; they always end up killing civilians. But using that as a pretense to "stop Russia!" or any sort of intervention is downright retarded when you consider the countless innocents NATO has killed. It's fine to criticize the use of drone strikes, and certainly we should be critical of our own usage of dronestrikes within NATO. But the way these airstrikes are framed within the narrative of mainstream media is "Russia is slaughtering innocents in hospitals! Oh, the horror!"
