Isn’t poisoning a war crime?
It is a chemical weapon.
But there is no point in noting this. FR should forbid any posts from Newsweek. They are profoundly anti conservative.
Dude, its a war.
That’s what I thought.
Stalin did poison the wells at Stalingrad and when German soldiers gave bread to Russian kids to get water from the Volga, Russian snipers shot the children from across the river.
The Geneva convention doesn’t address asymetric warfare.
Not This August, by Cyril M. Kornbluth:
As he watched, the rear fly of the tent was pulled, folded, and hurled aboard the mess truck; the tent was disintegrating from the rear under the practiced attack of the cooks. Gribble drifted among them, among the three boilers of tea in reserve, despite their warning shouts. When they were all struggling with a big side fly, he impartially sweetened the boilers of tea with white powder from his pockets.
He had morbidly asked about it and learned that the stuff was arsenious trioxide, procured from the remelt shop of Corning Glass.
...
It ended with a tremendous padded blow on the back of his neck, which was all he felt of the lieutenant’s pistol bullet destroying his brain. He never knew hundreds of [Soviet] soldiers squirming themselves settled in the trucks were at that very moment complaining about food as soldiers always do; they said their tea was too sweet.
Down in kak-a-lacky during the late 70’ there was this amateur moonshiner making hootch in galvanized trash cans. The alcohol reacted with galvanized coating and people were going blind.
I had a friend who kept bugging me to get moonshine for his infamous BBQs which were large affairs... I didn’t even scout up some shine...no way, it was too iffy... then one day I found some legal shine (guaranteed to be less than 30 days old) at a liquor store, took a couple of gallons home removed the labels off of the mason jars and took them up for the next BBQ. It went over great, I “came through” they loved it. It was weird. IMHO Grain was better and easily obtainable at the liquor store too.

The Ukrainians are comfortable with war crimes if they are the ones comitting them. Their own soldiers filmed their troops lining up Russians, telling them to kneel, and then shooting them in the back of the head.
Initially the Ukrainians acted as if they were particularly proud of their 'marksmenship.' However, when some in the West really rejected continuing support for thez Ukraine based on warcrimes, the Ukrainians selected one scene out of their video wherein a Russiansoldier about to be executed, hearing others of his team being shot, jumped up and sprayed the Ukrainians with machine gun fire. The Ukrainians denounced this 'Russian attack' as 'more war crimes' from the Russians, whom disinformationists on FR deride as 'Orcs' (sub human) and some even say all should be shot.
The Ukrainians scream like victims and attack like Nazi war criminals justifying ovens and showers.
