Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime.
Lol.
Bridges also are, right? And civilian factories producing electronics, that the military happens to use, right? What is allowed to be targeted?
Maybe the Russian people should do something to ensure they stop being attacked. It's all on them, not the defenders. Meanwhile, Russia is striking apartment buildings.
Military bases are allowed to be targeted.
That's all? You aren't allowed to attack logistics? Logistics are how you wage war. There has literally never been a war ever that didn't target logistics. You're saying the defenders should be restricted to only targeting military bases, while the invader is attacking civilian housing?
Clean civilians as a war crime. I'm not sure how many civilians on the regular take a wander through an oil refinery.
Killing civilians is another war crime. There's a lot: bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, collective punishment, moving civilians into militarily occupied lands, killing PoWs, etc
So Truman went to jail?
Every US president since WW1 is a war criminal.
Usually powerful criminals don't get convicted
