Remind me again when the CIA used Chemical Weapons (a war crime -Skripal Style ) on Russian and Dutch soil
- raxxorrax 7y agoThat is not a validly deducted argument and not the topic. There is a lot of info about crimes comitted by the CIA, but this isn't about any naughtyness competition.
- golergka 7y ago> this isn't about any naughtyness competition But it absolutely is. Whataboutism is an illogical thing if you're judging actions of some actor on some abstract moral scale, this is true. But that's not the conversation here here, as we're talking not about ethic, but about public perception and rationality of offensive actions. And in this game, the context of actions of adversaries matters a great deal: if your opponents do something much worse, smaller on your behalf are expected to draw much less scrutiny and therefore, become much "cheaper".
- C1sc0cat 7y agoIf your going to tone police me spell the words right - and if you are going to use the term "war crime" use it correctly. Deploying Weapons of Mass Applicability i.e. nerve agents is a "War Crime" according to Geneva conventions.
- raxxorrax 7y agoI didn't use the term war crime. I used 'act of war' which is something different to my knowledge but includes attacks on digital infrastructure as defined by the US government. Pardon my spelling, not my native tongue, but judging from your answer it must have obfuscated the meaning of my comment.
