It seems obvious that you are emotional over this, writing in capital letters. Some on this topic disagree with you, in one way or another.
But to be fair to opinions on this and other threads like it, once one establishes a rule or definition, one should abide by it. "Invasion of a sovereign nation...."
Burning US treasure and American lives for decades, our own government has invaded quite a number of other sovereign nations. To what ends? To what outcomes?
Those who say the Ukraine/Russia "special military operation" is unjustified might well recall our good old American "police actions" and "kinetic" responses and more. "Bombs away" has been American policy in invading sovereign nations aplenty.
How did our invasion of Afghanistan work out long term? How did NATO's bombing of Serbia work out long term? How did destroying Libya work out so far? So many "sovereign nation" nations to discuss, should you wish to do so. Or do rules and definitions change depending on some as yet unspecified rule of debate?
The established rule is used for emphasis. We cannot highlight, underline italicize as well as some may use to shout or strong emotion.
However, using capitalization for emphasis has been used since the early days on line [& yes I’m that old! LOL]
American “police actions” and “kinetic” responses have occurred. However, this article refers to Putin’s latest specific latest military bombing atrocities yesterday.
Putin’s Russian military has violated all the following WAR CRIMES against Ukraine military and civilians:
“A war crime is a violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility for actions by the combatants, such as intentionally killing civilians or intentionally killing prisoners of war, torture, taking hostages, unnecessarily destroying civilian property, deception by perfidy, wartime sexual violence, pillaging, the conscription of children in the military, committing genocide or ethnic cleansing, the granting of no quarter despite surrender, and flouting the legal distinctions of proportionality and military necessity.”
As discussed previously:
Article 25 of the Hague Convention of 1899 laid down that “The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, habitations or buildings which are not defended, is prohibited”.
FURTHER CLARIFIED:
The 1st Protocol of the Geneva Conventions signed in 1977 made it a war crime to launch ‘indiscriminate attacks’ which would affect civilians. This would include area bombing of a city, as opposed to targeting individual objectives within it. Reprisals or terror attacks against civilians were also made into war crimes in 1977.
PLEASE NOTE: The rules of war also included specific requirements such as not attacking hospitals, and if possible giving civilians warning to evacuate or take shelter before military operations began.
