I remember it being both comforting and disappointing to read Plato and find Socrates noting this same phenomenon. We've made many advancements as a species, but in some areas we're largely unchanged from ancient times.

It's not that more precise weapons are being used to target civilians, it's just that if they miss the target, the Russians aren't really heartbroken about it. There's plenty of examples of "precision" weapons

Someone who knows their violent oppression of their own citizens is fundamentally immoral. What's wrong with you that you can't see that?
