I strongly disagree with the bottom line you take. The excuse "war is shitty" should not be the bottom line. This reminds me of a scene from The West Wing where one character learns another knowingly made him commit a war crime. "How could you make me do that?"

And, uh, no! As a Marine veteran, there are rules of war we follow. Some acts of war are worse than others! Killing journalists because you think their writing is bad is exactly what MbS did to that WP journalist Kashoggi, and Applebaum was rightly upset about that. I have no idea how she squares that circle.
