"but" ? Yes this is exactly what i was saying, your guys are normalizing war crimes with some kind of sloppy "oh but it always happened", which is just wrong IMO but play it like you want, even if it's a bit disgusting.

United States war crimes are the violations of the laws and customs of war which the United States Armed Forces has committed against signatories after the signing of the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. These have included the summary execution of captured enemy combatants, the mistreatment of prisoners during interrogation, the use of torture, the use of violence against civilians and non-combatants, and the unnecessary destruction of civilian property.
War crimes can be prosecuted in the United States through the War Crimes Act of 1996 and through various articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). However, the Federal government of the United States strongly opposes the International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty, arguing that the Court lacks checks and balances,[1] and thus does not accept ICC jurisdiction over its nationals.

are right. I would rather stay silent in relation to whether russia's warcrimes are better/worse then other countries in other wars (noting I agree with your sentiment). war crimes are warcrimes. I just dont want a single narrative relating to Russia which is all we are seeing in western media.
