    A disproportionate response is not necessarily a war crime. That said, you are right that war crimes make war crimes easier!

      People didn’t like this post, but the truth is unpopular. It’s not like I’m encouraging war crimes after all, but you just haven’t been paying attention if you think they don’t make additional war crimes easier.

      War crimes have definitions, though, so lots of terrible things aren’t war crimes… they’re just war.
