Well “if Russia does it, so can we” really turns this into an even worse quagmire huh? I’m not in denial of the reality of war, but I won’t be supporting any side of the same atrocity. I have nothing but disdain for anyone who enlists.
Still that’s kinda weak argument. Those items are bought privately? So it’s not used as legit military command IT infrastructure like amazon aws or microsoft? I’m sure it will be different in the international courts, if they had any teeth. How could Ukraine ever justify “selling helmets and first aid kits to civilians” as a legitimate target…
The contention isn’t that they’re selling things to civilians, but that they’re selling things to members of the Russian armed forces, which they’re then using as supplies in combat. They’re part of the military supply chain in an unofficial way. I’m not sure it’s 100% cut-and-dried, but it’s clear reasonable people could call that a military target, and I’m inclined to think they’re probably right.
That’s right. “Members of the armed forces” not the armed forces per se. Cops also buy stuff out of their own pocket right? I go to the same stores to buy stuff too. We’re all civilians there. What we do with the things we buy is not the store’s business.
I just don’t think the case has a leg to stand on, in court. Russia will just say they have nothing to do with it, if there’s no proof.
