Like? Is anyone who starts a war a “war criminal” now?
If it’s because Russia’s killed civilians (whether intentionally or just because they didn’t care enough in pursuit of their military objectives), then, like, isn’t basically every Western leader + Biden a “war criminal”? How would you ever create a standard that could include him but not others?
And if they are all “war criminals” then why would you support one over the other? I don’t get this conversation.
And even if you had to, like, in what world would it make sense to think that Putin is worse than Netanyahu or the Western leaders who arm and support him?
Yes, they are all war criminals
How the fuck is Putin supposed to be a “war criminal”? Like? Is anyone who starts a war a “war criminal” now?
Yeah, if you start an aggressive war not for self-defense but for something like expansion that is a specific war crime under the Principle VI(a) of the Nuremberg Principles.
Are you asking for some particular reason?
The Russian effort to resist further American regimechange in the region is absolutely defensive.
in absolutely no way is he worse than Netanyahu or western leaders, but initating a war of invasion (even when provoked by encirclement) is a pretty by-the-books war crime
