  I assume you’re trying to be edgy and blunt, but it misses the broader point of human rights violations and international action against Russia and doesn’t offer any further insight or conversation beyond “whatever dude nothing really matters anyways.” If you want to make a deeper point how Western “international” organizations like NATO and the UN are also biased and cover up their own members’ atrocities, then make it. As it stands, Russia may be committing war crimes for which it should be held accountable.

    I'm being blunt (not edgy). A crime is a crime because a judge says its a crime and setences the criminal, barring natural law. In the case of war crimes, the judge is the victor, and victor tends to decide their efforts were justified and necessary, while their enemies were unjustified and unnecessary. If Russia wins, NATO does nothing, who's running the war crime trials? You can't hold those trials without getting an unconditional surrender, and you aren't getting that without a full out war, and you won't see that not escalate into nuclear war. You want to hold Russia accountable? Then that means NATO needs to get involved and win. Otherwise, it's just words that Putin won't care about, because he won and the world moves on.

Unfortunately not. The majority of countries have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, but this doesn't include Russia, or Ukraine, or the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munition...
