When John Lyly wrote “all is fair in love and war” in 1578, war was a more brutal business where mass rape, mass starvation of civilians, and wholesale destruction of enemy towns and villages were simply an accepted part of warfare.
As more civilized sentiments took root in nations the world over, a gradual recognition took place that warfare where “all is fair” is to no one's benefit, and civilized nations began pledging to protect innocent civilians from harm as much as possible.
Vladimir Putin’s government, in so many ways, has missed the memo.
