The US gets to play by their own rules and adhere to or ignore the Geneva Conventions as they see fit.  Nobody was talking about Canada, so I'm not sure why you figure that's relevant.  

International is the whole point of the conventions - the very purpose of their existing.  

I mention Canada becasue the US contributes the most to every NATO effort, they own the ball and the playing field.. Canada contributes nothing of value, so is delegated to the yappy little dog corner...

Thats not what i said Inter national law and humanitarian law are not the authors of the conventions, they may add or contribute  to new  policies or decisions, but currently the IIRC and UN are the controllers or keepers of the gate...not all countries have signed on to the entire document , a lot of nations have picked and chosen areas they like, but not the whole document...it is up to them (each country) make it their own laws... inter national law means squat if your nation is not a signatory of what ever the policy or treaty applies to..

Well that's sort of the whole problem with the UN and international courts from the start.  They have little actually authority and are more symbolic than anything, since as you say countries just sort of pick what they like out of it and ignore what they don't.  It's a court for judging 3rd rate powers or collapsed regimes and losers of wars and not a whole hell of a lot else.

Go have a f#$%ing fruitful discussion with Putin, Hitler or the like. Nothing to add here, and not a slightest intention.

The only people channeling Hitler in this whole scenario are Ukraine's avowed Nazi military battalion - the Azovs.

And for your information, the Ukraine/US actually do have bioweapons research facilities in Ukraine whether you like it or not. Why do you get upset when you're presented that fact?

I don't think anyone here is arguing that the Azov battalion is law-abiding or humanitarian organization.  What's interesting, however, is how much attention you give to them while ignoring the separatists they've been fighting - the armed separatists that Amnesty International has concluded are responsible for most of the kidnapping and torture going on in the region.  Your Russian propaganda sources also don't talk much of the treatment of the Roma or Tatar people in Crimea or eastern Ukraine.

Because it's not a fact, clown.  If you used your brain for .5 seconds you'd ask yourself why the US would fund top-secret bioweapons research mere miles from the Russian border, in a Russian-speaking region no less?  Indeed it's hard to imagine a sillier place to do it.  Those questions don't even cross your mind, however, because you're gulping little-man Putin's propaganda without a moment's thought.  Anything that even remotely supports your anti-establishment rambling is 100% true, regardless of how dumb it is.

OMG listen to you.

You backed the BS about widespread, overt Naziism and KKK support at the Freedom Convoy without any evidence, and now you're supporting an openly Nazi military unit, and whitewashing them by referring to them as "non-humanitarians who aren't law-abiding" lol. 

Just admit that you're supporting Nazis dude, because that's what you're doing.

Because they're Nazis, and they're committing war crimes, and that's a huge deal imo. 

You support them, but that's your problem.

Your sources don't talk about hate mongering from our own PM, or peaceful protesters getting trampled by horses, or peaceful protesters getting beaten in front of the HoC by our own cops after they've surrendered on their knees, having their bank accounts frozen when they've committed no crime and no judge has ever even heard their name, and jailed without bail in Ottawa. 

You can just keep on supporting fascism at home in Canada and actual Nazis in Europe if you want, but stop shifting blame to other people.

Victoria Nuland thinks it's a fact, and she knows more about it than you do.

clown. 

Simple advice:

1) Grow up,

2) Don't display any of your Nazi symbols openly in Canada.

If you used your brain you'd know that there were already bioweapons facilities there since the cold war and they just kept using them.

Russia was in no position to do anything about it for about 20 years so it didn't really matter. Now it does. Can't you tell?

Indeed it's hard to imagine a sillier place to do it. 

Yeah, they should do it on home soil I guess? Or somewhere else in Europe that's further away from the most likely place for them to deploy the bioweapons?

It's America's own intel. It's from their own websites. It's from Victoria Nuland's own mouth. Putin doesn't even need spies to find out about it, he just needed a dial-up internet connection and the same security clearance as janitors at the mall.

Now you're talking about other people being susceptible to propaganda? LMAO, that's hilarious. 

You still think that everything you see on CTV, CBC, CNN, and Global is true.

I don't actually care which way the facts go, I just follow them.

I didn't want to believe 9/11 conspiracy theories either, because I'd rather believe the terrorist theory than the 'US gov't did it themselves' theory but I do have a lot of unanswered questions, starting with how police knew that building 7 was going to come down at the exact moment that it did, seeing as it remains to this day "the only concrete/steel structure in the history of the world to collapse due to fire", and there wasn't much fire there. Other buildings have burned to mere skeletons and remained standing. 

I'd rather not have our most important ally get caught with bioweapons in Ukraine. I'm well aware that if they're from the '80s, and there was a new facility opened in 2010 which was used to study Anthrax and other bioweapons, and they're still there, that means that they were there from 2016 - 2020, when Trump was the president. 

I'm not afraid of cognitive dissonance. I can hope that one thing is true while keeping in mind that there are solid reasons to question it. 

Cheer on your Nazis and wallow in ignorance for all I care dude, whatever blows your hair back.
