Ukraine invasion: Are Russia's attacks war crimes?

[Borchester]

It was always going to be victor's justice. It was ever thus. Our ally at the time - the USSR - was led my a tyrant every bit as murderous as Hitler. His regime was guilty of the murder of at least ten thousand Polish prisoners of war, whilst his soldiers - once on foreign soil - were given free rein to murder, rape, and plunder at will.

Quite.

After the WWII a number of Japanese were tried and executed as war criminals on dubious grounds and legality, prompting Churchill to advise his generals that they should be careful not to lose the next war

As an aside, many of the war crimes the Nazis were accused of at Nuremberg were invented after the event.

The Nazis got justice, but not law

War crimes are the invention of the yanks who having done it to achieve victory for their own, seek now to make it illegal so they don't get their own people treated that way
