    No, I fully understood what you were trying to say. I am disagreeing and pointing out that everything you said remains irrelevant as it could literally all be stopped if Russia would get the fuck out of Ukraine.

      So, in your opinion, war crimes are justifed, as long as the ones committing them didn’t start the conflict?

        Man, I’m on board with calling Ukraine out for their war crimes, as anyone should be called out, who does so.

        But now you’re just making an ass of yourself.
        That’s as false an equivalence as it gets. Russia is objectively the aggressor in this conflict, while a Jewish “invasion” into Gemany didn’t exist. Not even as an antisemitic fantasy.

        I’m not even opposed to making Nazi comparisons, but they better be at least somewhat valid.

        False equivalence. Jews belonged where they were, and were part of the german population. In addition, no civilians were injured or targeted. Thus there are no war crimes. I’m not saying I am a fan of even the idea of removing people from killing people, but as the laws are currently written, there is no war crime. War crime is a very specific serious, and well defined thing. Calling things we don’t like a war crime dilutes and weakens the very term.

          We literally cannot know that by the way. These things do not have the processing power to tell the difference between a valid combatant, a surrendered combatant, an unarmed medic, or even someone that happens to be just wearing camo to, you know, not be shot during a war.
