Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen. The first four are countries the US invaded illegally. The US is still illegally occupying 1/3 of Syria. We are arming and aiding the Saudis in the genocide in Yemen.

Any one of those is arguably the same or worse than Russia's invasion of Ukraine. All together it isn't even close, and there are 4 or 5 other countries we're actively bombing today (i.e. Somalia) that have not attacked the US and upon whom we have not declared war.

Russia's invasion is a war crime, no doubt. But if we're adding up war crimes, the US is waaaaaay the fuck ahead. It ain't even close. Since we don't even support the ICC, and the world has not been clamoring for Bush, Cheney, Obama, Trump to all be sent to the Hague, the idea of "war crimes" and "international law" is a bit of a fairy tale at this point.

I'll wait for v3.0 to respond. I'm done. Bye now.
