    The question is not whether their use is automatically a war crime, but whether the UAF would potentially use them as a war crime. Would you give them their nukes back?

      What even is this asinine response?

      • No, they would not likely use them to perpetrate war crimes. Ukraine is using incendiaries for treelines in the middle of nowhere where Russians are hiding – not even close to civilians. You have zero evidence to support the idea that they would and are just JAQing off over nonsensical “what-ifs” as a way to move the goalposts from the indisputable fact that WP isn’t unto itself a war crime.
      • Literally any weapon can be used to commit a war crime.
      • If you want war crimes to stop, then you want Russia out of Ukraine as soon as possible due to their extreme usage of anti-personnel mines and the fact that Ukraine then needs to use them in return.
      • What is this unhinged comparison to nuclear weapons?

      Redditor-types accepting they’re indisputably wrong about something instead of doubling down challenge: impossible.
