Strongly worded letter to follow.
Bad Kossack! Bad! If you keep waving that sword around while galloping on horseback through the synagogue, you’re liable to hurt someone! You...you...barbarian, you! Don’t laugh while I scold you!
Are ethnic cleansing and incorporation requirements for war crimes?
No, but I was attempting to anticipate the objections of others here who have insinuated that a "mere unprovoked war of aggression" was not criminal enough.
(Putin has spoken plainly about alleged "genocide" by the Ukrainians of the ethnic Russians in the Ukraine - he thus tacitly acknowledges that the Ukrainians are of a different ethnicity.)
I think that the claim that Russia intends to absorb Ukrainian territory is undisputed.
Some FReepers here have attempted to establish a moral equivalency between what Russia is currently doing in the Ukraine with NATO actions elsewhere in previous times. My reference to territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing are thus pertinent differentiators.
What Russia is currently doing in the Ukraine is thus NOT comparable to anything the West / the U.S. / NATO has done in previous times.
Thus, if anyone here wants to assert that the the West / the U.S. / NATO has ever been guilty of war crimes, then that applies DOUBLY to Russia now.

Tell it to Serbia
How is it undisputed and what do you think Russia wants to absorb beyond Crimea?
My Lai was adjudicated, however imperfectly. Dresden wasn’t and I’m shocked the US has not yet been dragged into the Hague for war crimes, to the tune of 27K civilians.
I guess Putin referring to that whole swath of territory as "Novorossiya" isn't enough for you?
Does anyone here really doubt that Russia is going to devour that whole swath of land stretching from (and including) the Donbass region (Luhanska and Donetsk P.R.s) down through Mariupol and up to the Crimea - AND BEYOND?!
"The name received renewed emphasis when Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in an interview on 17 April 2014 that the territories of Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Odessa were part of what was called Novorossiya." - Wikipedia

They gonna try Putin.
We had a color revolution here in 2008 and then a coup in 2020, but even then, do I want a megalomaniac invading a blue state and dropping thermobarics on the people who voted blue? No. Just because people are moronic pawns means they should become cannon fodder.
Meanwhile, enjoy the parade of Soviet circle jerkers lining up for the Tedlim-style putsch to come...
Well CNN, arrest him.
I crack me up.

“My reference to territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing are thus pertinent differentiators.”
Only to corrupt neocons looking to justify their double standard.
As if morality has anything to do with war.
That’s the most basic absurdity.
Something neocons fail to comprehend because of their corrupt logic.
War is about the pursuit of national interests, and weak people try to ascribe moral interests to it.
And corrupt, weak people try to convince OTHER people there’s some higher calling.
Like every single cell of toilet scum otherwise known as Neocon.
How is this any of our business?
I’m so stealing that.
Honestly, staye department has absolutely no credibility to me. Nothing they say rings true
I am reminded of the movie Fletch where the low-IQ dude catches Fletch trespassing and says "this is a job for the cops." Yep. Biden reminds me of that inbred.
More jingoistic hate mongering from the Biden administration and his Obamoid Puppet Masters.
If war crimes are being committed , then they need to be stopped militarily , which the cowardly Bidenoids refuse to do.
So as the Dems squeal, they appear more and more weak militarily.
War crimes happen to all sides of any war, but the DEms make a political business of it, like they did with Donald Rumsfeld, arranging for their socialists colleagues in Europe to issue arrest warrants against Rumsfeld for War Crimes.
Remember when the Russians used sarin gas in Syria? BOOM.... Trump hit the entire squadron of Russian aircraft involved in that warcrime. using cruise missiles to destroy the entore unit and the gas in its storage hangers.Thats deterrence.
The whining from Blinken and Biden makes them look like children of the corn, sophomoric zombie moralists who truly think themselves superior morally but who refuse to act. Useless touch holes and blivets of the highest order.
Whine on Joe. Make sure Jake Sullivan slow walks the lethal aid to Ukraine so the war crimes will increase, YOU IDIOTS!
Well, they weren't suspended for naked butts. You can see naked butts all day long on Twitter. The videos themselves were hidden behind graphic content warnings.
They were suspended for showing the wrong side committing atrocities.
The United States has no credibility.

Great post. Nothing else needs to be said about the Western propaganda since February 24th, 2022.
