Jaw-dropping article mentioned near the end of this article. I think Simplicius is correct when he notes that 'they report it with such a neutral tone as to imply blind support for this tactic'. Imagine some analyst blandly noting that Hamas was going to start bombing schools in Israel if they were defeated. Would they pass it on without comment, merely noting that it would make Netanyahu's job of governing the country difficult? Bombing schools! Do these f*ers hear what they're saying?
Ukraine could launch 'terror campaign bombing schools' if Russia wins war EXCLUSIVE: An expert claims Ukraine's plan is more terrifying for Vladimir Putin than a conventional war" because he could "lose power very quickly" in Russia.

Ukraine is planning "terrorist activity" which would see Russian schools and other civilian infrastructure targeted, an expert has claimed to the Daily Express.
Russia has targeted Ukraine's cities, energy facilities, and residential areas consistently in the war.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has been limited to striking Russian territory close to the border. Belgorod, a city just 25 miles from the border, has seen the most Ukrainian attacks in the last year.
But Nicholas Drummond, a defence and security analyst, tells the Daily Express that Ukraine is planning much more damaging attacks.
He says Ukrainians could launch terrorist activity in Russia, including the bombing of schools.
Mr Drummond said: "I think any strikes will be restricted to the border regions because strikes deep into Russia would be a big escalation.
"Ukraine will want to conduct terrorist activity in Russia... if Russia wins in Ukraine or is given any kind of victory, I think Ukraine will conduct a counterinsurgency campaign inside Russia, and that would be much more devastating than anything we have seen on the frontlines.
"It will be really unpleasant.
"The terrorist activity would include bombing schools, bombing infrastructure... that would begin in earnest if any peace deal was imposed on Zelensky.
"They are absolutely planning these kinds of attacks now. No question. I think this is more terrifying for Putin than a conventional war, because if Ukrainians unleash this terror campaign in Russia, he will lose power very quickly because people will say 'you are not doing enough to stop it."
Ukraine's ability to strike back against Russia has been bolstered after the US permitted Kyiv's troops to hit Russian territory with American weapons.
On Friday, Ukraine began doing just that.
Ukraine's general staff announced: “The Defence Forces of Ukraine attacked the Kerch ferry crossing with ATACMS [US Army Tactical] missiles, which was actively used by the enemy to secure its grouping of troops in temporarily occupied Crimea."
The Kerch Ferry crossing separates Crimea from the Russian region of Krasnodar Krai.
Ukraine claimed to have “significantly damaged two ferries carrying railway and car transports."

-It's a suggested course of action by a member of the Brit military establishment. The guy has kids too: imagine if someone suggested that terrorist bombing their school was a good idea?
Unfortunately he's typical of the kind of vile nasty immoral tossers that this country churns out.
