Could anyone tell me why the fuck this isn't a war crime?
Thats the fun part, it is.
No it isnt. Incendiary weapons are legal if not used on civilians and couple of other rules.
Correct.
Whew, for a second there I thought someone was burning people alive in an illegal fashion.
This is gruesome for sure. That said, most ways of killing people in war aren't good ways to go. Killing is going to cause suffering.
Ideally we wouldn't kill. And then if we do it hopefully it's quick and doesn't prolong suffering. And then if we're pushed to the point that it's us or them hopefully it's them.
People that are trying to murder and kidnap civilians from another country? Why do you like abusers so much? Want to be like one some day?
Soldiers are just people forced into this shit, the people that could deserve this are the higher ranks, but they are too busy being safe and cozy
The Russians presently in Ukraine are contract soldiers that voluntarily enlisted for the invasion.
Are you saying that if I force my soldiers to commit genocide against a population then that population is not allowed to defend itself?
Soldiers can drop their weapons or frag their officers at any time
Yeah that's also easier said than done. Try saying you think that you don't like pizza very much at a Mets game and people will want to attack you.
You will get shot for dissenting, even just suggesting it. They want like minded.
I agree that they can make a choice but it's also not easy to go against the general movement of a group. Or else we in the west would have changed more as well.
That the fun part, your are wrong
Thats not fun at all
