Yep, I got that but thank you. My point was that I read things as @DarthOne taking the post from @AmosTrask be read as suggesting that he (DarthOne) was eastern European, whereas I think the post was actually intended to contrast his opinions with those of eastern Europeans. So him saying "I have no eastern European roots." is a non-sequitor.
Exactly. My autocorrect deleted my punctuation. I did indeed mean to contrast DarthOne's opinion with that of Eastern Europe's generally negative opinion on Russians. Muscovite Russians in particular.

War crimes only count when your side loses, I guess. Disgusting.Biden to arm Ukraine with cluster bombs in clear violation of international treaty in new $800-million aid package
Remember the last president who started no new wars but was very orange so we sent him away?

USA incidentally did not sign the treaty. But still bans them through internal law. which biden intends to just waive. Apparently the president can just waive laws now?
Fact of life.I am suprised,that you are suprised.If Germany win WW2,not Allies with soviets,then everybody would condemn commie crimes,and young people on entire Earth would glorify comrades Hitler,Himmler,and others.
It depends on if they are a democrat or not.
So you are saying everyone who doesn't follow the silly SJW virtue signalling treaty commits war crimes, including Russia? Great, apparently the right now includes arms control activists who will be surprised that they aren't liberal leftie globalists anymore.
Yes and not just Biden:Biden to arm Ukraine with cluster bombs in clear violation of international treaty in new $800-million aid package

I mean... The reason they're bad is because they leave unexploded ordinance around to potentially harm civilians after the conflict. Given that Ukraine will be using these weapons on their own territory, I feel that it's their choice to take that risk. I can also understand their perspective in deciding that US munitions with a dud rate of <2.5% don't meaningfully add to the risk, when they've asserted Russia (Who like the US and Ukraine aren't signatory to the international laws against cluster munitions.) are already using similar, and quite likely Ukraine have also used soviet legacy systems and that their dud rate is many times worse. According to some sources up near half the submunitions are duds in the already used Ukrainian and Russian systems.
It's actually a specific part of the law that the restriction can be waived by Presidential fiat.
To be honest the treaty against cluster munitions is stupid, but the one against mines is not. Calling it "sjw" is just being an edgy tryhard. Land mines can cause deaths after the war is over and such weapons should be banned. Imagine you had a war with a nation but now that nation is one of your closest allies, yet when the war happened they left so many weapons on your land that around 100 of your citizens a year end up getting injured or killed by that stuff. Some allies they are still killing your people.So you are saying everyone who doesn't follow the silly SJW virtue signalling treaty commits war crimes, including Russia?

Yes and not just Biden:
Joe Biden defends ‘difficult decision’ to send cluster munitions to Ukraine
Rights groups condemn supply of widely banned weapons and fellow Democrat calls it a ‘terrible mistake’
A 2009 law bans exports of US cluster munitions with bomblet failure rates higher than 1%, which applies to virtually all of the US military stockpile. But Biden can waive prohibitions around the munitions, as his predecessor, Donald Trump, did in January 2021 to allow the export of cluster munitions technology to South Korea.
Also you linked the wrong virtue signalling treaty, i know, they are easily confused as they are all stupid. Ottawa one regards anti personnel mines, you wanted this:

Well guess who pushed those treaties the hardest...
Umm do you also think the treaties that prevent POW's from being raped or tortured are vitrue signalling? Again why do you support the original geneva conventions yet are opposed to this? Again I'm practical I think war should be made less cruel, but not if it affects actually useful things like cluster bombs.

Dumbass take. No almost all nations have signed the big parts about the laws of war. So don't go pulling bullshit just because you might want to weasel out of it.
Ah you see, we signed certain laws of war.
For a second I was going to ask who is we? I thought you were Marduk. Anyway yes the US has not signed the weapon restrictions.
Why do you think there is a differance? Again there isn't that much of a differance between using gas weapons or bio weapons, using cluster mines, or raping POWs.
