Putin is not targeting military targets, he is targeting civilian homes and job locations. He is punishing THE PEOPLE for daring to replace HIS pick with a man who serves the people.

Trump is punishing the people of the US for turning him out of office in Nov of 2020. He's not bombing us, but he has put thugs on our streets to harm, maim, kidnap Americans. How much further will he go to hurt Americans who dared to not love him like he demands? The only limits are the people around him who may or may not do his criminal bidding.

Not much difference between Putin and Trump when you distill it down.
