I return back from Russian /pol/. I went there in search of some COPE. I found none.

But I did find this stuff:

Looting vids from in Ukraine. Example


Also this seems to be new video of the "dead" Chechen?


 

Whoops


Many of the top-selling vodka brands that trace their origins to Russia are now distilled in multiple countries — including the United States.
For example, some bar owners are protesting the invasion by dumping out Stoli Vodka. Problem is, it's only Russian by name, which is loosely translated as "capital city" due to its origins in Moscow. The vodka is actually made in Latvia, and the company's headquarters is in Luxembourg — a member of NATO which has spoken against the Russian invasion.
 
Didn't we already nuke two civilian cities though? Russia is beating us in that moral area.
I really don't understand the significance put on the use of fairly basic atomic weapons in Japan. If you are horrified by the use of atomic weapons then I recommend you look up the US firebombing of the home island. Just as many casualties but burning to death, dying in a ditch from burn injuries, or asphyxiating due to a firestorm is better than dying by a nuclear blast wave. I am not saying it was better but just putting things into perspective. WWII was horrific by modern war standards in terms of loss of civilian life and humanity.
 
Is invading another country a war crime? Seems to me like that would mean at least one side of every war is automatically a war criminal.

Usually the losing side.

The notion of war crimes, after what the US has been doing for the last 20 years, means there's no moral authority to go after Putin. Unless we go put our own leaders on trial.

I think this is a pivotal moment for the US and West. It's a challenge to their authority and power. They need to play it out cleverly, so the West comes out not looking too much like their power and credibility is reduced in the world.

I think the mistake they will make, is not understanding that credibility is already paper-thin across the world. It's wealth that keeps us dominant. So it will be far more damaging to shred the credibility than take a hit to their perceived power.

The a-bombs caused survivors to develop cancer years afterwards.
