Putin has war crimes in both Ukraine and Syria around his neck.
I judge by a different standard than you. I acknowledge that it is possible for any human to be a war criminal. As many commanders in chief as there have been on the planet, there might have been war criminals.
Stanley Milgram demonstrated the tendency in his experiments, I think the name of the book he wrote was "Obedience to Authority", and it's dark-side fascinating, because it's so true. Humans can be cruel.
What I know is that for years, the US government has killed innocent people from above by drone. Gunslinger Obama, is what I called him. :mrgreen:. His predecessor took the country to war under fraud, is where I'm at. Or was, back when he was doing it.
In the meantime, I don't see Russia invading other countries without announcing at the UN, as Putin did. I see that as an honorable act by Putin, defending his ally who is under attack.
Like the guys at
KnowDrones I don't see much honorable behavior from my government. I see moral issues, so do they.
As for Crimea, fer chrissakes they voted in favor of it. It's been Russian for centuries maybe, anyway I don't blame Putin for defending his country and saving the navy by asserting control of the country, protecting their interests. I can't blame a man for that, he would be a fool and a traitor to do otherwise.
Ukraine, I keep thinking of the Beatles song "Back in the USSR" where it's mentioned. :mrgreen: I've never been there, but I knew when I was a kid from geography that Ukraine was a region of Russia.
And Victoria Nuland got caught runnin' her mouth by the Russians. So that means the US State Department is right smack dab in the middle of yet another regime change scheme.
Really, who is it that is causing hostilities?
