Description
A particularly popular means of warfare in ancient times and the Middle Ages was pillage, i.e. the plundering and subsequent setting on fire of enemy retreats.
This probably served both for personal gain and as a deterrent for future enemies.

A scorched-earth policy is a military strategy of destroying everything that allows an enemy military force to be able to fight a war, including the deprivation and destruction of water, food, humans, animals, plants and any kind of tools and infrastructure. This is Russia's policy; The civilized world calls it war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russia is the first in history to use an ICBM over a live city.

Russia destroyed entire cities and infrastructure, planted millions of land mines that will take generations to clear, created over 8 million refugees (and missing children), creating a refugee crisis in Europe that hasn't been seen since WWII, as well as a world-wide food shortage. Russia continues to hit critical civilian infrastructure during the onset of winter, putting millions out in the cold, not to mention, over a million casualties (both sides.) Why people like it compare it to Vietnam, is beyond me.
