Fallujah sounds like terror tactics to me. It was defended by a poorly armed militia far smaller than the western trained and armed forces in Ukraine and America still had to destroy 20% of the city. Years later 200,000 of the 350,000 residents still hadn't returned, birth defects from depleted uranium had sky rocketed and people were still suffering white phosphorus burns.
And Raqqa was far worse.
The difference is propaganda. When we destroy a city it's methodical and proportionate. When our enemies do it it's genocide and terror tactics.
But urban warfare is always awful.
