Russia is welcome to withdraw from its genocidal, imperialist, unilateral invasion at any time.
"it's not a war crime if we're defending ourselves"
Do you put "sitting in the comfort of the first world trying to be the moral arbiter of a people desperately defending themselves from a fascist war of extermination" as one of your hobbies on your dating profile?
Edit: This reply was so ridiculous that I actually completely forgot to mention that this isn't a war crime under international law.
"if their government is bad"
Russia has long since moved to sending contract soldiers into Ukraine. They either support Putin's war on principle or because of greed from Russia's ballooning sign-up bonuses. I don't honestly care what happens to people who voluntarily signed up to commit a genocide when it's them or the innocent people protecting themselves and everything they love from being genocided.
Sticking your head in the sand, a time-tested tactic.
When someone is being genocided they get a lot of leeway in how they defend themselves.
