War with Russia

[Pross]

If Russia hits Ukrainian power plants, the strikes are retaliatory.

Not sure that’s how the Geneva Convention works. They’re either both legal acts or both illegal acts. It seems a bit of a grey area which and comes down to what the likely affects will be of cutting off civilian power supplies. FWIW many Western governments were arguing it was illegal when Russia did it initially.

Seems it's genuine. Won't be long before Putin is 'reminding' Trump of the party line. Would be quite nice to have a US leader who wasn't genuinely insane.

Putin will call and remind Grump that several of his wives are Russian and he will be prevented from purchasing any more unless he gives up the Donbass.

Putin hasn't conducted this war with any convention. He's kidnapped 000's of children and is implicated in torture of prisoners, the raping and killing of women and genocide. Personally, if Ukraine were in a position to blow his frikkin brains across the Kremlin walls, they should. Convention or no convention.

Well, who knows what he'll be thinking in few hours' time. He certainly doesn't know.

You have to remember that Russia can't be guilty of war crimes as it isn't 'at war'.

Correct, many will be sex trafficked by gangs or have their organs harvested. All this kind of thing is generally kept out of the legacy main stream media.
