Sad. Regardless of what side you're on, Ukraine is sovereign. They gave up their nuclear missiles on exchange for sovereignty and protection from both Russia and the USA. It was Ukraine's sovereign right to join NATO even though I hate NATO. This IS a war crime.

This IS a war crime.
no it isn't.
regular combatants fighting regular combatants using conventional weapons is not a war crime by any definition
Breaking an international agreement and violating another nations sovereignty?
those are not war crimes, those are acts of war
I tried my best to find an old article from a year or so ago. Russia struck a residential building with a hypersonic missile. There's been a lot of striking residential areas. If you think Palestine is an atrocity but Ukrainians dying is okay, I can't taken you seriously.
you stated that the subject of the article is a war crime (it isn't), then that the invasion itself is a war crime (it isn't)
now you move the goalposts again to cover for the fact that you don't know what a war crime is
that you believe that a deliberate genocide upon a native population by settlers is comparable to a regular war between sovereign nations is frankly disgusting

Sorry you got censored. These people don't like ideas that challenge their narrative.
It shows how weak their arguments really are when they need to silence anyone who disagrees with them.
For those following this thread, note that the above .world commenter literally cannot see my comment because .world decided certain instances needed to be silenced.
Funny how that works.
Yeah, those idiots also censor the piracy community.
Censorship works, which is why you all do it.
Ah, lemmings, got it.
Drowning the truth in an ocean of misinformation seems to work much, much better than censorship at fracturing reality.
Hey man, let people say what they want and think what they want.
Don't let some useful idiots on lemmy, or anywhere else, dictate what you get to see or say.
Unless you're stupid.
Are you stupid?
I literally said Putin committed war crimes. I'm tired of arguing that. They don't known what it really means to fight here. Just talk.
Sad? The residents of Pokrovsk/Krasnoarmeysk themselves likely disagree with you as they were abused by Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops opened fire into a crowd of civilians in Pokrovsk/Krasnoarmeysk back in 2014 for example: View 1 View 2 View 3
Even the Ukrainians themselves admit that the residents there don’t like them: Link
I didn't say I support Ulraine as a country. I just said Putin is a piece of shit and a war criminal. What both sides are getting away with doing to the Ukrainian people is appalling. I'm aware of the fighting tactics being forced on them.
