I'm not quite sure how you can mentally disentangle the destruction of a city from the destruction of its population. The two go hand in hand.

How is that strawman? Either of them. Real life behavior of Russian army (again) is not strawman. It is just what is going on.

It's not a strawman, it's a good point. Can you please point out records to me that there were orders (for American soldiers) in WW2 from the top down to take areas and rape, torture, and finally murder civilians in a systematic way like Putin is currently ordering to be done in Ukraine? I'm sure that it happened in some cases on a local scale from feet on the ground, but not top down like Russian top brass is ordering to happen in Ukraine.

Can you provide a source for this claim that Putin or 'top brass' has ordered the systematic rape, torture, and murder of Ukrainian civilians?
I should know better than trying to discuss this sort of topic as it's obviously always impossible.
