This is the type of excuse that people look for when they want to deflect responsibility. No matter how implausible or unevenly applied.
The fact is, everyone has civilian infrastructure close to military bases. Israel's IDF headquarters is famously located in central Tel Aviv. Do you use the verb "squeal" when the Israelis lament an attack?
In my hometown in Western Europe military barracks are scattered everywhere among houses, schools and hospitals. Is this a hideous plot to make the enemies (Russians, presumably) look bad when they nuke a hospital instead of a military installation?
