War Crime

It appears that there is some confusion about what is and what isn't a war crime, so I thought I would help clear up the confusion.

This guy is spitting truth and putting together reports, congressional hearing details and what's going on in the ME and how it relates to CIA policy dating back to WWII. I'm really just not seeing this on any other outlet, aside from essays here and over at TOP written by those more informed than me.

Professor Cohen is one smart cookie.
I am and have been NO WAR for my entire life and have the blog history to prove it.
But yet, when you're assaulted in an alley (dancing in the pale moon light?) or someone threatens your family, you need to act.
After 8 years of appeasement and failed "red lines" we have
Georgia
Ukraine
Crimea
Syria
Weapon deals with Iran
Accords with China
And on and on it goes
VP Joe Biden went on TV to talk trash about how we're going to make an example of Russia for their insolence.
"Why haven’t we sent a message yet to Putin,” Chuck Todd, host of the “Meet the Press” show on NBC, asked Joe Biden.“We are sending a message [to Putin]… We have a capacity to do it, and…”
"He’ll known it?” Todd interfered.
A lot of attention is being paid to the rising tensions between Russia and the U.S. over Syria, and for good reason.
A military confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers is not just stupid and immoral but completely insane. It's like playing Russian Roulette with every chamber loaded.
I don't want to get in the habit of making daily updates about Syria, but events are moving so fast, and they are so important, that I can't ignore them.
It all started with Hasakeh.
Things have changed so much in the region since the attempted coup in Turkey that the regional alliances might be unrecognisable by November at this rate.
The latest flashpoint is in Hasakah.
So, this happened.
The incessant Russia/Putin propaganda we've been subjected to over the last four years along with the aggressive U.S. actions against Russia, i.e., Ukraine regime change, further encroachment of NATO on its borders, sanctions, the U.S. led Syria and Libya wars, etc., have led many to believe a military war with Russia might happen.
