The important unsaid part needs to be in there. Whether an opponent actually puts military installations inside civilian locations or not (generally a bad move), this gives war criminals carte blanche to bomb whatever they feel like.
Not sure it’s helpful to imagine words that were not said, but that still a warning not a threat.
Welcome to geopolitics. The whole world runs on unsaid statements and ulterior motives. Up is down and down is up.
While also considering others to be not entitled to do the same.
