I agree there at least. Russian warcrimes are happening RIGHT NOW so of course they're the primary concern. But the US are pushing themselves as a white knight in this situation so it's important not to forget their crimes just because there's something more current.

The US does it selectively. They literally sanction outside parties even looking into their war crimes. The war crimes the US acticevely punishes to a decent extent are convenient ones. My Lai? Couple of years house arrest for ONE guy. Abu Gharib? Extremely light sentences. Eddie Gallagher? Presidential pardon.

If you'd ever seen the aftermath of what they did at My Lai that "punishment" should sicken you. Hundreds of children raped and mutilated. An entire village massacred out of sheer bloodlust. And a couple of years house arrest (which caused outrage among the US populace, not the leniency but that any punishment happened at all)

Been talking to some mates in China. Some of whom were of the belief that trusting the government was the default right thing to do. Pretty much all of them were openly critical of the government over wechat, something I never expected to see.

Something big is brewing right now it seems. The government might have pushed it too far.

The US actively engaged in genocide in Yemen over the last decade to help their buds the Sauds. Sick and fucking tired of burgers acting indignant about this shit when they are the biggest, bloodthirsty, monstrous cunts that have the nerve to act like moral arbiters. It's fucking disgusting
