If they use the missiles to attack Ukrainian command and control and their airbases - that’s another thing altogether and militarily makes lots of sense. The trouble is by now Ukraine has almost certainly prepped secondary and tertiary C3 structures, but coupled to a military offensive it would still be deeply detrimental.
Personally I think the Russians are pigs and hurting women and children is perfectly okay to them. They destroyed hospitals in Syria on purpose to ensure the population had nowhere to go. They bombed the streets to destroy the water supply and break the sewer system. Why would they be anything less than what they are when it comes to Ukraine?
Russians are basically ignorant but they’re not stupid. Whatever happens next you can be sure once started, they’ll carry on doing it. If it looks good on TV and sounds good, that’ll do nicely.
