The question of was this a war crime was being discussed. That is a legalistic question that requires parsing of words. It likely was a war crime. The separate questions that you bring up of was this attack justified or was this attack ethical or will this attack cause escalation are separate discussions from the other discussion.
Not a war crime is not the standard that makes something acceptable.

You would have loved the 2000s and the whole ‘enhanced interrogation’ discussion all the serious thinkers were having while us unwashed were naively saying ‘you’re just torturing human beings.’ It was an exhilarating time to be a human being and see all the high level intellects having very erudite conversations.
