Dispersion has been usual since artillery.
Taking over the whole building is also more usual, for security.
I suspect hotels may not be fully booked just now?

But how do you achieve a 100% peaceful graduation, of such Divide and Conquer? Is it possible to Multiply and Unite and counteract?

War crimes only happen to nations that are part of the International Criminal Court. The USA is not a signatory to the ICC. Terror states like the USA and russia don't join the ICC so they can protect terrorists.

the US president announced intention to destroy civilian infrastructure if he does not get what he wants.
