    I know almost nothing about the situation, and I vaguely know it’s a geopolitical mess, but do I get it right that it’s basically a situation that can be (in a very simplified methaphor) compared to a Police, that solves a hostage and an active shooter situation in a Hospital by first sieging and starving everyone involved, then shelling and leveling the building along with a school next door, and then capturing and torturing all involved that managed to survive, including the hospital staff and patients?

    This of course ignores the geopolitical aspect, but it’s basically what’s happening, no?

      Only if the police also cut off the food suppliers, so their families and everyone else at home, outside of the hospital is also starved. The police then thought it was a good idea and told the media what an excellent strategy it was.
