This is one incident that we don't have all the information about. You really going to sell out an entire country over one incident that isn't immediately rectified during wartime where they have far more to worry about than prosecuting every crime immediately or else?
It sounds to me like the German Medic witness was working on someone else and caught the event out of the corner of their eye while busy. Otherwise, why weren't they working on the prisoner (and hence in the way). So, the witness didn't know the severity of the wounds, in an area that was low on med supplies (looking for bandages, with a medic in LOS?) and just assumed it was a hate motivated execution when it could just as well have been a mercy.
Edit: and this supposedly happened almost a year ago? How is this even news?
Hence me saying we have to see how they handle this, I will give you I should have said how they handle this if true.
But yeah, if they knew about it and didn’t handle it, then depending on how far up it went, we shouldn’t support them.
I’m not cool with supporting people who kill pow’s
So one guy does it and we need to disavow and stop supporting the entire war?
I used to work for tiktok and spent all of 2022 watching the war crimes Russia has done. The bucket of gold teeth from the converted gas mask to gas chamber victims. The raping of men, women and children, and the COPIOUS amounts of Ukrainian service members who were killed surrendering.
The war criminal should be punished. a holier-than-thou attitude that we should abandon our ally during their invasion because of one individual war crime is naive, and the kind of talking point you see regurgitated from X and Telegram by Russia supporters.
Edit: just saw all your other shitty takes down voted to hell. Sorry I wasted my breath, tankie! Enjoy feeling smug and superior as you look the other way on genocide because you got your one headline to justify it.
Oh, ok. I forgot that since Russia did band things that now we don’t care about anyone else doing them
Nope, not what I said. my exact words were that the war criminal should be punished. As other people have pointed out, It's ridiculous to abandon an entire country because of one war criminal.
The fact you're being purposely obtuse just proves you're not ignorant to this, you're just another bad faith actor.
Most people in Macedonia get paid in rubles for such comment. If you're not getting paid for this, you're a rather metaphorically cheap whore.
I never said abandon them over one instance.
I straight up said to see how Ukraine responds to the charges.
If they handle it correctly than keep on having their backs until Putin is sucking Stalin a dick in hell.
If instead they try to hide and obfuscate it, then maybe we should start looking at what else they are hiding.
If we don’t hold our allies accountable…
Well fuck I guess that actually falls apart since we aren’t holding Israel accountable either.
