Is it? In what definition is Ukraine not Russia's enemy? Germany bombed London. The Allies bombed Berlin. -- nm - Ender May 31, 20:16 18
- What would you say Ukraine was doing that justified Russia initiating war and killing civilians? -- nm - Max May 31, 20:45 10
  - Since when is that the definition of "enemy"? -- nm - Ender May 31, 21:03 9
    - What would you say Ukraine was doing that justified Russia initiating war and killing civilians? -- nm - Max May 31, 21:12 8
      - Again... That has nothing to do with the definition of "enemy" Was the US not Japan's enemy in 1945? -- nm - Ender May 31, 21:20 7

        Repeating the same stupid question doesn't make you smart. -- nm - Ender May 31, 21:47 5
        
        Dodging it doesn't make you someone to look up to. -- nm - Max May 31, 21:54 4
        
        It's called a non sequitur, dude. I don't owe you a response to straw men. -- nm - Ender May 31, 22:00 3
        
        It's the fundamental question to your question - how does one get to just declare an enemy and kill their civilians without justification? - Max May 31, 22:07 2
        
        I'm perfectly willing to admit that under the 1977 revisions to the Geneva Convention it's a war crime. -- (edited) - Ender May 31, 22:21 1
        
        Maybe I've misread, but it looked like your comparison to London/Berlin wasn't just a question about a date of rule changes. - Max May 31, 22:46
- Ukraine is Russia's victim. -- nm* - Beryllium May 31, 20:26
- the (unprovoked) invasion itself was in violation of int'l law from day one. never mind stealing Crimea eight years ago -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 31, 20:22 1
  - no but russia really doesn't like them see? -- nm - mafic May 31, 20:25
- this ain't WWII. indiscriminate attacks were added in the '70s. -- nm - mafic May 31, 20:18
- Are those not war crimes too? -- nm - Roger More May 31, 20:18 2
  - and even if they technically weren't then, they are now. -- nm - mafic May 31, 20:19 1
    - And even if they weren’t technically at the time, I’m sure that the Blitz and the V2 campaigns were seen as criminal and not seen as “bad stuff - Roger More May 31, 20:45
