I don’t blame them. Ukraine needs to take the war to Russia to win.

    Well yes, but starting a war suddenly and without declaration isn’t a war crime.

        Look, I’m about as anti-war as they come. But in the capitalist neoliberal rules-based order, war happens constantly all over the world and the best we can do is enforce the provisions of the Geneva Convention. No good will come from equating war generally with war crimes right now. There will be a point where we can call war a crime against humanity, but the Overton window isn’t there yet.

          Why are you framing it as if capitalism and neoliberalism are causing war? Isn’t this one of the most peaceful times in human history?

            It’s not that they’re the cause of all war, but neoliberal capitalism is the root of all modern conflicts.
