Ukraine invasion

Because politics don't belong here. When you start siding conversations here, it gets locked. My opinions don't belong here, and neither do yours. Don't think you know mine, because I won't state them here. Are we crystal clear?

Im crystal clear the kind of person you are, very very clear.

Nope, you don't and I'm sorry you feel that way.

Wrong doing is raping women and shootng kids in the head. Following orders to wage a war, regardless of the reason, is just following orders.
...
Seriously though, this wouldn't even go to the Geneva accords.

Given that "this" is unspecified, I think I'll withhold judgement.

For war crimes, yeah...

The ICC says it will open an investigation into alleged war crimes in Ukraine

The International Criminal Court's top prosecutor said there is "reasonable basis to believe" war crimes may have been committed in Ukraine, where eight years of conflict preceded Russia's invasion.

So, we shall see what we shall see.

Making this personal is a great way to earn yourself an exit from this discussion. Please don't do this again.

We shall, but again, even after WWII we didn’t call everyone that drove a truck in Hitler’s army a war criminal, just the ones that did other things. Let’s not broad brush the humans on one side as monolithic other Enemies. They humans to, worth remembering.

Exactly.

Moot point. Either have to go to war and win and avoid getting nuked or hope for regime collapse and whoever takes over agrees to extradition.

Somewhat double standards as well considering USA position on the ICC.

It feeds the Russian propaganda machine and gives credence to the other lies. Not to mention whataboutism.

Last chance: Posting about aid efforts is OK, but ditch the politics, or the thread gets locked.

It would be really awesome if you looked back and realized that this apparent idea that I'm calling for every single soldier to be brought to the Hague or something is, in fact, not something I said.

With the amount of potential misinformation that's been flying about, it's been difficult to determine how best one can support the Ukrainian people without getting caught in opportunists' scams. I've seen that they're selling war bonds, but my opinions on the stock market conflict with my willingness to engage in that space.
And I am 100% in no position to contribute physically.
