That’s how it works when you’re fighting a county like America. Do you think if the U.S. invaded Canada that we wouldn’t do flavours of the same?

America prosecutes wars depending on political popularity. Making it incredibly unpopular to do so is a very real strategy.

Not that I’m suggesting it isn’t still ugly and horrible to bomb civilian targets like girls’ schools.
