context: “Her husband, a Ukrainian soldier, died defending Kherson’s Antonivskyi bridge on the first day of full-scale war, she said. During several interrogations in the spring, Russian forces submerged her hands in boiling water, pulled out her fingernails and beat her in the face with rifle butts so badly she needed plastic surgery, according to Minenko.”
  Holy fucking hell. I’m done reading the news today. >
  
  This article reads like a complete description of war crimes. This is terrible and I hope Russia pays for what it has done to the CITIZENS of Ukraine. >
  
  Have you ever seen the “Law Abiding Citizen” film? Not that it’s a particularly good one, but it has one very important quote:
  “It’s not a question of what you know or what you think you know, it’s about what you can prove in the court”.
  The only actual, real proof of a war crime is documented orders to commit it, and/or reports of it being committed by the committing army (plus evidence that the offender was not punished for it). Everything else makes headlines, but is of no real consequences. Ever. In fact, even the documented orders can be disputed due to a HUGE number of loopholes, and that’s assuming you even get them somehow. Japan, for example, simply destroyed theirs in 1945.
  In practice, only the losing side gets punished, and even then, not nearly every case, even if you exclude the accusations that were false to begin with. >
  
  All the more reason to go full Mossad on them. Nowhere to ever hide. In a perfect world they'd all go to court. It's not a perfect world. >
  
  I have good news for you, those really guilty of something that bad (but not trialed for some reason) usually “disappear” after the war in order to make sure they won’t tell anyone. Unless they flee to another country and confess there, that is.
  The really nasty stuff is always punished one way or another, karma is a bitch. Unless you are a scientist who stole documents about bioweapons, of course. Then you can trade those for your life. >

  This is too evil.. They must be stopped >
  
  Absolutely insane.  We need more boycotts and sanctions not just against Russia, but also against all its allies and trade partners.  It's time to punish the big ones, India and China, who are feeding the Russian war machine with money, parts and supplies.
