| The Myth of Ukranian War Crimes |
| 2022-04-08 |
| [Michael Z. Williamson] This is going to upset a lot of Brosheviks, many of whom should know better. I'm going to point out the hate fact that Ukraine has not committed ANY war crimes. ALL PHOTO DOCUMENTED: Russia started by attacking civilian habitation with no military necessity--shelling apartment blocks to the ground and calling in strikes on entire subdivisions IN CLEAR ON THE RADIO. Three days in, they were stealing food without payment or signing for compensation. They bombed marked hospitals, including a maternity hospital. They bombed a marked civilian shelter. They murdered refugees who didn't take the official, "we'll only let you flee to Russia" route they declared. They stated they'd murder uniformed mercenaries as "War criminals," which they are not. But if Russia does murder them, it certainly is a war crime. While sending in their own mercenaries to rape and murder. They raped and dismembered civilian women. They desecrated bodies by pulling out the gold teeth to sell. THEIR PRESIDENT PUBLICLY STATED AN INTENT TO GENOCIDE THE ENTIRE POPULATION AND MAKE CHILDREN "SUFFER" FOR THEIR PARENTS DARING NOT TO BE RUSSIAN. Genocide counters any Hague or Geneva restrictions. Ukrainians rounding up Russian "soldiers" and exterminating them like vermin isn't a "War crime." It's more like scraping dogshit off your shoe. Russia hasn't abided by any LOAC since this started. None applies to them. They are invading savages and terrorists, not a legitimate military force. |

| #5 They bombed marked hospitals, including a maternity hospital. Maybe I am too cynical, but when I read of incidents like this, my first thought is "What was in the parking lot? What was next door? Was anyone firing from an upper window?" Doesn't matter which side or which war. Battles are fought nowadays in the media as well as on the field. Don't get me started on the Paleos! |

| #2 For someone roughly the same age as I am he's in much better shape. He has served in the regular army, the army reserve, and the air force reserve, under the latter of which he served at least one tour in Iraq in the late unpleasantness. |
