i know, and i agree. the ICC is a good thing in theory, but as long as warmonger nations like the US, russia, and china don't recognise it, as long as western war criminals aren't charged, it's a meaningless tool. that doesn't make pootin any less of a war criminal though.
you're not the ICC though, and neither am i. so please, go ahead, tell me what YOU think - i'm still waiting. tell me how the ukraine war is also wrong. tell me how pootin is a war criminal, how his invasion and occupation of ukrainian territory is unjustified. tell me how the war is based on lies and misrepresentations, and how any real or perceived "wrongdoings" of ukrainian leadership do NOT justify russia's killing of countless innocent people.
or are you a hypocrite, who only ever brings up iraq as a cheap whataboutism in order to make excuses for a dictator, junior?
You now established that the US, Russia and China are warmonger countries. Good.
Now, if those countries all recognize that the only way forward is to respect each other and negotiate instead of shitting on each other that would be a huge improvement.
You are well aware that the combined West shits on both Russia and China and btw you're continuously partaking in that every time you post in this topic.
The combined West / NATO think they can do what they want, expand because countries wanted to become members (used as excuse) and have openly stated that Putin's regime must be dismantled, Russia humiliated, and so on.
In the geo-political arena this is a recipe for disaster unless Russia / China back off like little lapdogs which didn't happen.
Do I support the war? No, the war is wrong, it's a disaster for Ukraine, they never should've allied themselves with the West because they knew Russia would never let it happen, furthermore it's a disaster for the EU that relied on cheap Russian energy and a disaster for poor countries that cannot bear the burden of inflation caused by the war.
