You're viewing part of a thread.
Do you put "sitting in the comfort of the first world trying to be the moral arbiter of a people desperately defending themselves from a fascist war of extermination" as one of your hobbies on your dating profile?
Edit: This reply was so ridiculous that I actually completely forgot to mention that this isn't a war crime under international law.
Am I not the moral abiter, wherever I may go?
In response to your edit... Do you truly consider the use of thermite as a weapon valid and okay? Like, literally melting people to death? You think that just because it isn't technically a war crime that it's a-okay to fucking BURN PEOPLE ALIVE? Despicable. Absolutely despicable. Your morals make me sick.
isn't technically a war crime
You're acting like this is some sort of situation that brushes up against being a war crime but falls just short because of some small, pedantic technicality, but no. As you can plainly read, this isn't even close to a war crime under international law, which is the entire way a war crime is defined, because it's, you know, a crime. You can't just hallucinate up international conventions on war and then act all offended when someone points out they don't exist.
This isn't just "not technically a war crime"; this is unambiguously not a war crime and was never in any danger of even approximating one.
Yes.
Do you consider castration, rape, and other systematic tortures horrific and to be fought back against with every tooth and claw available?
Do you put "I support war crimes against humans if their government is bad" on your dating profile? You make yourself out to be a barbaric monster.
"if their government is bad"
Russia has long since moved to sending contract soldiers into Ukraine. They either support Putin's war on principle or because of greed from Russia's ballooning sign-up bonuses. I don't honestly care what happens to people who voluntarily signed up to commit a genocide when it's them or the innocent people protecting themselves and everything they love from being genocided.
Whatever you say, bloodthirsty monster. Keep cheering about the killing of poor people, I guess.
Sticking your head in the sand, a time-tested tactic.
When someone is being genocided they get a lot of leeway in how they defend themselves.
if there is ever an exception there is always an exception
I mean, our money is funding this war instead of our own health care, so yeah, I think our people have every right to criticize if they want to.
And besides, it wasn't that long ago that people were saying these same things about Iraq and Afghanistan, and we later learned our money was grossly misused and corruption rampant.
Stories have already circulated about corruption in the Zelensky government.
Wow, stories have circulated you say? /s
Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, which were immoral American misadventures, this is a Russian misadventure, and supporting the Ukrainians is pushing back against aggression.
I don't know why you added the sarcasm tag, because it's true.
There has been extensive reporting of corruption in Zelensky's government, which always seems to be the case when the US is involved. The only difference is this time we've swapped out Saddam Hussein and Hamid Karzai for a white gentleman who's easier to market to the masses.
If you had anything real to say you'd be linking to it or even talking about specific examples. Instead it's "there's stories", "there's been reporting".
Want to provide sources for those claims boss? I need to see this "extensive reporting".
Yeah, Russia says a lot, and also pays right wing news a hefty sum in order to report their bullshit.
I mean, our money is funding this war instead of our own health care,
USian, I presume. You already spend as many federal tax payer dollars, per capita, on healthcare as the UK pays for the NHS, per capita. You're just not getting the results because you rather bail out hospitals providing ER treatment for people who can't pay than letting those same people visit the doctor once a year for free so that their condition doesn't become an emergency. Granted, the NHS is underfunded, but if you'd take say 5% of what Americans pay for health insurance and add it to the sum you have quite a bit to work with.
Don't try to justify your lack of moral fibre when it comes to standing up to fascists with your dysfunctional politics, that's not the flex you think it is.
The "right" to criticize was never infringed on, the criticism is just being ridiculed by the public.
I get that, and that's fine.
We're a warmongering country and it stands to reason that anyone criticizing the war of the week will not be looked upon favorably. I get it.
It's also an armchair ethicist with absolutely no skin in the game wagging their finger at an underdog, outmanned, and outgunned country defending itself from a blatant foreign invasion.
Sending old equipment to Ukraine has basically nothing to do with funding healthcare in the US, that's a Kremlin propaganda talking point.
If it was somehow sold instead and the money was used to fund healthcare, it probably wouldn't even cover US healthcare spending for a day.
