Hell, I must have missed the war crimes against the allies post ww2. Fire bombing of Dresden, nuking Japan. All clear attacks on civilians.
But that is war you open that door you go all out to win, all through our known history there has been destruction of civilians. Vlad the impaler did not get that name for treating his prisoners humanely and salting the earth, putting populations into slavery was common.
And guess who sits back without being affected? The politicians/rulers.
