    this whole affair is stupid and really exposes how impotent the sanctified rules of war really are.

    Ukraine decided to prosecute Russians while the war is on, this is a direct reprisal. in real terms the legality is irrelevant.

    but lets talk about the law. Mercenaries aren't allowed on paper but are immune to prosecution. they put on a flag patch and they're 'party' to one of the sides. they dont even need that if theyre yankees Uncle Sam just says fuck off hague.

    its all fucking bullshit to launder militarism through liberal moral lenses "oh we're murdering thousands of people but don't worry, we're doing it right". its all a joke, you offer up the odd enlisted shlub for sacrifice on the altar of liberal civility, but it never fucking matters if you 'accidentally' bomb innocents, if your war creates the conditions to murder innocents by neglect, if your war's refugees die in some hellish camp a thousand miles away
