History Matters
1940 — On the night of October 14, a bomb penetrated the road and exploded in Balham London Underground station. During 1940's Battle of Britain, Luftwaffe bombers tried to destroy British air power ahead of a planned invasion of the UK. When that failed, Hitler resorted to terror attacks on civilians, including the full-scale bombing of London and other UK towns. The attacks killed tens of thousands of Britons, but "The Blitz" fizzled: the invasion never materialized.
2022 — Tram depot in Kharkiv after shelling by the Russian troops. Russia states that in Ukraine, they fire only at military facilities and do not launch any missile, air, or artillery strikes on cities and villages. Russian troops are shelling residential areas, schools, hospitals, maternity hospitals, kindergartens, cultural monuments, etc. And these aren’t one-off incidents; such attacks are common.
