So the distinction seems to be one of escalation; I'm already against war (mass destruction of life and infrastructure) - and Russia has already crossed all the moral boundaries of acceptable behaviour - so it comes down to what methods do we view all reasonable in war and unreasonable.

I've got it down to the following: - conventional munitions (rifles, rockets) - industrial munitions (tanks, explosives) - precision munitions (modern artillery, guided bombs) - wide area effect munitions ( thermobaric systems ) - chemical weapons - ( biological weapons? ) - atomic weapons

Russia apparently has run out of, or fails to use precision munitions, so they're rolling through their stock piles of industrial munitions, which includes wide area effect weapons.

I've put thermobaric just below chemical because they essentially saturate a large space to create a fuel air mixture, so it's a form of chemical attack with explosive results.

I get that the cruelty of wide area effect weapons is terrible; suffocating is horrific. So is being run over by a tank or punctured by shrapnel.

Don't know what else to say; it's just desensitizing for me.
