I don’t live in the US.

No one is using human shields. There are just non viable targets next to viable ones. Blowing up a school intentionally because you have bad intel or incompetent staff is tan unmitigated fuckup and war crime. We also don’t give two shits about “Roman statutes”. There is no moral obligation to attack a country that has schools near military facilities based on a dead empire from a couple millennia ago.

On closer reading, this is an insane take on a bunch of levels. Your username being a well known nazi isn’t a mistake is it?

Who is "we" in:

?

It doesn't improve credibility if you openly express disdain for that section of international law that describes human shields as war crimes, which defines the concept of human shields, and then proceed to dictate that nobody uses human shields. Are you claiming this section of law is superfluous because it never happens?

BTW, my user name refers to a well known frozen pizza brand.
