I don’t blame them. Ukraine needs to take the war to Russia to win.

    The UN isn’t in charge of war crimes.

    Neither is Duke. I would call an international convention of nations far more legitimate than any college on this matter.

      Then were the charges? Where is the UN voting to use force to arrest Putin ? Exactly. The UN is worthless.

              I’m not wrong. You claim it’s always illegal. Yet your cites don’t say that. My cites say it is lot always illegal and explains why.

              We are talking about Ukraine attacking Russia. You are trying to oddly cite Russia attacking Ukraine.

              Just take an l and move on or actually cite your claim

                I didn’t think I had to say this, but I’m arguing an ethical position that happens to coincide with international law. I think it’s always wrong to bomb infrastructure. In this war between Ukraine and Russia, it’s a definitive war crime and it would be a violation of international law for Ukraine to strike a power plant in Russia.

                The ethical position is that civilian infrastructure like power plants, hospitals, dams, bridges, etc should never be attacked. This is because fake justifications can be made to attack that infrastructure, as we see in Israel’s genocide.

                    Nice observation. I’m arguing 2 compatible things simultaneously, one is legal that obviously has exceptions. The other is ethical to argue that the “exceptions” are just excuses for killing civilians.
