It's more that giving a genocidal dictator the benefit of the doubt is in poor taste, even if you're right.

What benefit? What doubt?

None of the other possibilities reflect well on Russia either.

There's nothing in that article that provides any information as to how and why the hotel was struck, just that it was struck.

You can acknowledge Putin is a violent dictator, without pretending that he's some cartoon villain. Evil is more complex than that, and so is war.
