I know that argument, but it may not persuade enough people. And how about Russia killing Americans - or any people - that make software that Ukraine uses in the war? How about Ukraine killing Americans or others who make software for Russia?

Lots of American make things for all sorts of brutal regimes. Are they acceptable targets?

We can argue about it - I actually agree that people making bombers seem like acceptable targets to me - but that's mostly irrelevant. The question will be the effect on support and morale when the news shows someone's home burning and even other civilians dead, and whether the benefit is worth those costs.

> building bombers

I don't think they are building any bombers at this point; they lack the components. Maybe repairing and supporting them?
