    Here is a direct comparison between two different news articles depicting similar attacks that the US and Russia did. Note the differences in language.

    US bombs Doctors Without Borders in Kunduz, killing 42 people:

    CNN: Civilians 'accidentally struck' in Afghan hospital bombing, U.S. commander says

    An airstrike was then called to eliminate the Taliban threat, and several innocent civilians were accidentally struck

    "There is no country in the world and no military in the world that goes to greater lengths and places a higher premium on avoiding civilian casualties than the United States Department of Defense,"

    CNN: Pentagon: U.S. bombing of Afghanistan hospital not a 'war crime'

    The Pentagon announced Friday that 16 military personnel will be disciplined for the deadly U.S. strike on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, in October, but maintained that it was not a war crime because it resulted from unintentional human error and equipment failure.

    He also said that the aircrew were "unaware" that they were firing on a hospital.

    "This was an extreme situation we were dealing with,"

    The Pentagon concluded last year that Doctors Without Borders had followed all proper procedures in notifying the U.S. of the location of the hospital. The group "did everything right," a U.S. official said in October.

    Russia strikes a hospital in Mariupol, killing 5(?) people:

    CNN: Anatomy of the Mariupol hospital attack

    Medical facilities and workers have been repeatedly hit by Russian forces since their invasion of Ukraine, despite this being against the rules of war.

    “Every single attack deprives people of life-saving services.”

    Footage circulating on social media showed pregnant women being escorted out of a bombed-out building amid charred cars, broken tree branches and debris.

    Russian officials claimed the hospital was a justifiable military target, based on their unproven assertion that Ukrainian military targets were on site and that all patients and medical staff had left.

    As these stories of suffering emerged, Russian officials threw doubt on their validity in news programs and online.

    US Vice President Kamala Harris described the attack as “unprovoked” and “unjustified.”

    CTV: Airstrike hits Ukraine maternity hospital, 17 reported hurt

    A Russian airstrike devastated a maternity hospital Wednesday in the besieged port city of Mariupol amid growing warnings from the West that Moscow’s invasion is about to take a more brutal and indiscriminate turn.

    “Today Russia committed a huge crime,” said Volodymir Nikulin, a top regional police official, standing in the ruins. “It is a war crime without any justification.”

    “A children’s hospital. A maternity hospital. How did they threaten the Russian Federation?” Zelensky asked in his nightly video address, switching to Russian to express his horror at the airstrike. “What kind of country is this, the Russian Federation, which is afraid of hospitals, afraid of maternity hospitals, and destroys them?”

    U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken condemned Russia's “unconscionable attacks”
