Quoted: 'firing' on a surrendering soldier. A wounded one. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: What makes that a war crime? How is that any different than artillery hitting a troop concentration several times? It's an honest question... 'firing' on a surrendering soldier. A wounded one. You can fire at wounded, if they are not attempting to surrender. |

Quoted: Probably was, but you can fire at wounded troops. The potential sticking point is when they are attempting to surrender View Quote To me is no different than an artillery observer seeing wounded soldiers along a trench and continuing to repeat the fire mission. Obviously, they can see the person pleading and wounded, but they are in no position to actually surrender nor are the forces able to affect his capture, they are going to be fired on immediately trying to move towards him. The difference here is that this is the first time many people get to see it in HD from the comfort of their home. |

Quoted: Under the Geneva and Hague conventions, as well as the laws and customs of war, the bombing of Japan was a legitimate action. The US didn't machine guns Japanese sailors in the water (the Japanese did, and behead US sailors pulled from the water).

Also, how desperate must you be to feel like you need to save screenshots like those for months View Quote The second screen shot is literally the invasion markings used by Russia. One does not accidentally end up with a spray panted Z armored panel as their avatar. As for saving screenshots, its clicking 2 buttons on your phone, it costs nothing to store them. |

Quoted: Why aren't we seeing videos of Russian oligarchs' motorcades being attacked and their houses droned? Show me the shattered remains of the dudes forcing these kids to kill each other and then we'll have a party. View Quote Your terms are acceptable. nb: there doesn't need to be a cabal of Ukrainian oligarchs forcing their people to fight...because they were invaded and are protecting their homes and families, so they already have all the incentive they need. |

Quoted: The $$$ must flow and the big guy must get his cut! Daily lies of victory and glory on both sides are the tripe the puppet masters feed while bleeding us dry of our money and freedoms. Fuck everyone and everything! View Quote @RABIDFOX50 It's OK, just give up. The Russians love it when you can't "know" anything or "trust" anyone, because in their book, there is no such thing as "objective truth" anyway. So just stay at home and do nothing, you will have fulfilled your purpose for their ends perfectly well. |

@R0N, @Wineraner
Just wanted to tip my hat to you guys for adding some thoughtful and informative commentary to the thread. I am not always the best at adding value to any given thread, particularly one started on this basis, but it is noticed and appreciated just the same. I stick around ARF because of posters like you guys. We won't always agree, but I am thrilled to learn something new every day. [ETA: @BobRoberts] and you too sir, thoughtful commentary. |

Chances are it would be treated to similar to when Iraqi forces attempted to surrender following a barrage of ICM in Gulf War One, the observers were told the rounds don’t have strings on them and the guns were given cease loading. |

Quoted: Ukraine tells us it is the front line, defending democracy and Western values. The account says it's not possible to surrender to a drone. Iraqis surrendered to AH-64s in 1991. And earlier this year. View Quote Iraqis surrendered to video camera crews from ABC News. They were never really in the fight. War is hell. How many soldiers in history have fired thier rifles at the enemy with the intent to kill them one minute only to beg for thier lives the next.I don't think for a second that it's as simple as right and wrong. |

If another country invaded my home town and started blowing up my shit, I'd have no problem having a legit torture chamber to commit actual war crimes.
I've never met Geneva but I'd shove a stick up a Russians ass. |

Isn't not killing this soldier the tactically smart idea? You already fucked him up. He'll be out of the war and they'll have to use more resources to get him medical aid.

I wonder if the genius Russians will start placing soldiers on top of the building “showing jazz hands”when they have strategy meetings. That would stop the UA in their tracks ??

Claiming Ukraine was landlocked? Yep. Claiming the counter offensive was defeated (even as today it broke Russian lines)? Also yes. These were actually shared in another thread If I have a Ukrainian flag in my profile pic, what does that mean? I'm pro-Ukraine. If I have a Russian flag flying, post anti-Ukraine and pro-Russian propaganda..what does that make me? Quoted: 'firing' on a surrendering soldier. A wounded one. Like firing on a theatre that had "CHILDREN" written on it? Attached File Mariupol theatre airstrike @kihn The guy was a fair target. The theatre was not.
