He crossed an international border, and started a “preventative” war. By the way, George W. Bush did the exact same thing with Iraq. George W. Bush is a war criminal, too.

Ha! I cut the cable about seven years ago. I don’t miss it one bit. To be honest, I get most of my news from Free Republic these days. There are lots of different, yet conservative perspectives here.

Okay. It seems pretty apparent you can hang that label on practically every US leader in the past 45 years including Zelensky.
-Carter, sent troops into Iran
-Reagan, invaded Granada
-Bush I, invaded Panama
-Clinton, invaded/bombed Kosovo
-Bush II, invaded Iraq (as you mentioned)
-Bush II, invaded Afghanistan
-Obama & NATO, invaded/bombed Libya
-Obama, invaded/bombed Syria
Do you count the myriad of CIA intrusions/invading of country after country for regime change as war crimes? If not — why not?
And finally, how about Zelensky’s attacks in the Donbas from 2014 on when 14,000 were shelled, shot, and slaughtered (including civilians)? That should be a war crime of major proportions. Right?
How about the Maidan revolution in Ukraine that was promoted/instigated in part by Victoria Nuland, US State Department along with the help of the CIA where protestors were shot and killed by snipers and the country was “regime changed?” Shouldn’t that be a war crime? Sounds like an invasion to me.
Of all the items listed above, no one has been convicted as war criminals. If Putin is a war criminal why are the others not war criminals?
Sounds very much like “selective enforcement!”
Putin sure has plenty of company if that is the standard. I guess you could even extend that to the Russian citizens who overwhelmingly support Putin — or maybe even US citizens for supporting and electing war criminal leaders for 45 years.
Remember. Don’t through stones if you live in a glasshouse.
