@whvholst Just out of curiosity: Who do you see who _is_ adhering to the Geneva Conventions? @dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo

@pettter @dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo I don't think either party is fully adhering. I also do think there are glaring violation to them by Russia that are orders of magnitude worse than Ukraine's. Then there's also the Genocide Convention that is also clearly being violated by Russia and not by Ukraine. So this is a "Both sides are not equally bad" situation.

@whvholst I wasn't talking about "both sides", I was more talking globally. @dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo

@pettter @dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo I think the Falklands War was the last one that may have been more or less in adherence to the Geneva Conventions, but I don't think any of the more recent ones ever was.

@whvholst
They also don't want to make it trivial for the conscripts they're pouring into the meat grinder to defect.

@dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo There's also the time-tested use of barrier troops shooting anyone who appears to be retreating...
