While all politics are complicated, the politics of the Middle East I think are objectively far more complicated than the politics of the ex-Soviet/Eastern Europe & Russia situation. It can't realistically be compared like-for-like.

However, we should condemn any military action that shows a disregard for civilian lives. It's impossible to wage war without anyone being hurt or killed, but when there's an almost defiant disregard for the lives of everyday people and especially children ... something has gone terribly wrong, and you will generally find that there are significant dehumanising elements, whether that be incidental or encouraged with intent.
