Here's 5 actual war crimes

  1. My Lai massacre Vietnam - America
  2. Iraq invasion (there's thousands within this one including Abu ghraib) -america/nato 3- dressing up as medical personnel and massacring a refugee camp to save 1 person in gaza- Israel and America 4- a host of lesser known but many technical war crimes in Afghanistan like bombing undefended villages and towns https://www.culawreview.org/journal/double-standards-in-international-law-did-the-us-get-away-with-war-crimes-in-afghanistan 5- raping children and murdering their family. This is American tactic in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria with many documented cases

yes we are now doing exactly what the meme at the top of the page is doing.

fyi: two spaces at the end of a line will format that correctly as a newline

That is true lmao, though I do believe in nuance, it's definitely not s black and white or a both sides equally bad sort of mindset

Also thank you, I was having issues with the text on the phone, question, how do I just take a break without a whole space between? If that makes sense

Two spaces at the end of a line

What do you chuds not understand about "two countries are committing war crimes"? You asked about China and got an answer about China. You're trying to convince us who's the second worst empire.

I think you're missing the WAR part of the WAR CRIME. I thought you'd realise by now, but you're really digging yourself a hole. Funny thing is there are wars you could have mentioned and war crimes. The point of original comment was to draw our those without any knowledge like you 😜

I'm explaining to you why this comparison is a poor argument, not volunteering to dance around various different arguments all day.
