    No. You are building a massive strawman. I never even said a word about medics.

    You conveniently ignore everything Russia has done. Tell me, is Russia following Geneva conventions and Nuremberg principles?

      I guess you don’t understand how this works. I’m not building a strawman, as I’m literally describing the Geneva Convention’s justification for why your opinion is nonsensical to hold. I’m simply asking you to extend your “logic” to an identical situation that, in my opinion, is more enlightening as to why your argument is faulty. They are both non-combat roles, and the justification for protecting them in a war setting is identical.

      You conveniently ignore everything Russia has done. Tell me, is Russia following Geneva conventions and Nuremberg principles?

      I see that you don’t actually care to have an honest discussion. I haven’t mentioned anything Russia has done; I haven’t justified anything Russia has done. You think me pointing out that Ukraine has done something wrong, and that your defense of that is bad, is somehow equivalent to defending Russia.

      It seems, unless you want to try to actually respond to the points I’ve raised, that you’re content in your disagreement with the Geneva Convention. As such, your faked concern about Russia’s supposed violation of the Geneva Convention is just that: faked.

        My opinion is that Russian journalists are spreading propaganda. That has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention

        And you have actively avoided condemning Russia, which speaks volumes.

          Why would they condemn Russia when the article that started this discussion identifies a potential war crime committed by Ukraine and facilitated by NATO. There’s lots to criticise Russia for but this ain’t it.
