    Valid military targets only lest Ukraine stoops to the level of the invaders. Moscow is very densely populated, so it’s not worth the risk when there are so many other high-value, valid strategic targets elsewhere.

      Oh, I thought winning the war was more important than continuing the attrition

      Plenty of air defenses surrounding Moscow, force Russian aircraft to patrol the skies around Moscow instead of dropping bombs on Ukraine

      Bringing the war home to Muscovites is worth more than refineries

      It’s fine, GW didn’t listen to his intel analysts either

        If you were an “intel analyst”, you’d know that Ukraine’s Western support would cease the second they’re starting to attack non-military targets, especially in Moscow.

            Moscow is harder to hit because it is likely defended. Go for just as valuable targets that are less defended

              It’s a waste of ammo. The movers and shakers in Moscow driving this war won’t even care

              They only care when it affects them personally

                Ukraine could nuke half of Russia and those movers and shakers would still pretend nothing’s wrong.

                  They’ve surrounded themselves with people that only tell them what they want to hear

                  Kind of hard to deny constant explosions going off in full view even if some of them are being intercepted
