    How is that the implication when there are lots of other explanations, one even given above?

    If the target costs more than the missile (including the opportunity cost), and/or the target is a high priority for repairs, it makes sense to target it. It doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.

      I guess the fear of nukes has waned since the end of the Cold War.

      Y’all will literally sacrifice the entire world so long as Russia loses.
