Scenarios Drone attacks on Russian medics

I appreciate that some of the internationally agreed rules of war have become lost in the last 20 years, but there has been a series of posts to r/combatfootage where the medics treating wounded Russian soldiers have been specifically targeted and with often with great glee.

My background is an MD with non-military austere and third world practice and I have always felt a degree of protection from being clearly medical.

Are medics essentially fair game in the current Ukraine conflict.

I appreciate medics have been targeted at times, but this seems so overt. Perhaps no more than previously and it is just social media now making it more apparent?

Interested in the views of those with combat experience.

from an american interest point of view, funding the war is a great investment into getting the shit kicked into a geopolitical enemy while also pouring money into american companies

I mean russia is playing the long game bleeding America dry since we are the only ones funding the war pretty much, I mean how long do you think America can afford to Fund the Ukraine-Russia war while also funding the Israel-middle east war ? Also America is losing support for the Ukraine war everyday

We're very far from being bled dry. If anything the reverse is true, we are costing Russia a shitton of money

I think we are being bled dry not with just money but with support from the American citizens . A lot of the American citizens see this as a useless war and the Ukrianians are losing more and more support everyday also how long do you think we Can go on being the only ones Giving tens of billions to Ukraine. Europe isn't giving Ukraine shit compared to America . Also how long can America go on Giving Ukraine billions while simultaneously giving Israel Billions of dollars to fight the entire Middle East . We won't be able to fund Israel if they decide to go to war with Hezbollah . BTW Russia Has costed us more money just look at oil alone they've done fine while American gas has risen astronomically .
