    Sounds like Russians are harvesting live organs from living POW’s, then sending the victims’ remains back as a “fuck you” to the families.

    Since Russia ignores the Geneva Convention, they should be excluded from it. Ukraine ahould be permitted to exterminate cockroaches inside of Russia.

      “They’re committing war crimes, so we’re committing war crimes” is a bad strategy that only leads to escalation.

        The Russians are violating an agreement. When a party leaves an agreement, there is no longer an agreement. It is impractical for one party to abide by this specific agreement when that party suffers death as a result.

          No, that is not an excuse to do things like use poison gas, biological weapons or child soldiers. All that does is make things worse. It eventually leads to a nuclear weapon. I’m not sure why you don’t see where escalation leads.

      the Geneva Conventions mostly exist to protect innocent people from war, they should never be ignored, no matter what.
