Provokation and emotional response.
In my mind that would be the main reason why. An sane population wouldn’t stand for their children to get killed and you do nothing. It forces your opponent into action and you can exploit that action.
With some infrastructure and certain targets a response can be delayed. Mass civilian/children casualties mean an immediate retaliation is in order or your population revolts to make one happen.
You see it in Palestine; people with nothing to lose become beligerant. You kill their kids they attack viciously. Much easier to attempt to justify fighting a “vicious rabbid opponent” than a defense less peaceful one. However, if they go the opposite end and attempt peace and calm, they are easy to mow down
Oh wow, who would have thought cutting all those government services was a fucking terrible idea.
It was so weird how right wing media was praising this dude for his economic policy and trump dick riding. $40billion injection and Argentina is still fucked. Yet these idiots can’t see what’s clearly evident if you have even a basic understanding of policy and economics.
