It’s reprehensible for sure, but I’m fairly confident it’s not all that uncommon in war.
It’s just the first time in history that the whole world sees the horrors of war streamed live.
Which is a good thing I guess, there’s a whole new generation now that might learn ‘never again’ without actually having to go through the experience.
Edit: Of course we always had the news, but a reporter showing the aftereffects from a safe distance are a bit different from the single soldier streaming the images of the Russian warship before telling them to go fuck themselves.
