Hmm I'm not convinced it was the fruit. They should eat more and really find out if it was true

It's not a war crime of the people poisoning the fruit are not combatants. They could probably be tried for manslaughter, and I doubt Russia would be very lenient.

People don't get a 'get out of war crimes' card by not being officially in the military. If they purposefully took hostile action in the conflict they're combatants, uniformed or not. The use of poison is a war crime.

When the Russians use rape as a weapon, I cheer on the locals in occupied areas serving poisoned fruit

~~Yes they do. This act falls under the purview of civilian enforcement. It is up to the controlling government to prosecute these civilian crimes in civilian criminal court.~~

EDIT: Okay, so this particular argument irked me so I investigated. Unfortunately, Ninja is technically correct. According to the ICRC civilians receive an instantaneous removal of their status as non-combatant for the duration of the hostile act, and the ICC's Rome Statutes clearly list using poison as a warcrime so it is probable the perpetrators could be prosecuted. More likely, however, is that their being subject to civilians laws means they can ALSO be prosecuted in the civilian manner. Double the risk for the reward.

That said. Russia wants to FAFO that's their problem.

It's not a frequent event when a person on the internet recognizes their mistakes. I'm glad I saw it today.

So if someone occupies your house, you'll serve cookies & cream?

Not all war crimes are actually bad when committed against worse war criminals in self-defense.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

This appears to be done by civilians remaining in occupied territory

Not by Russian laws but who cares about those.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Nope, poisoning food and water is a war crime but who cares if only ruskies have ended dead.
