Ok, but if Fred West saved my life I'd say thanks but you're still a cunt for burying all those people under your patio.

My point is only that it's more complicated than the simple black and white you're trying to boil it down to.
Ok fair enough, nothing is black and white, but even if you can squeeze an iota of nuance out of me there's still no justifying supporting Nazis.

Maybe it's a shitty investment to fight Putin in this way, but the economic analyses I've seen and shared indicate otherwise.
The economic reality of war means that it's in our interests to engage in war. That's extremely problematic. It's not in my interests, or your interests. We're paying more for fuel and wheat. But it's certainly in the interests of those who have a vested interest in things like military hardware, weapons, ammo, construction, the list is endless.

There are no legal channels to press accusations of war crimes against Russia.
You need an enforcing agency above the accused to press that. There is no enforcing agency that can force Russia to submit to these accusations.
This is not completely true. We can't force Russia to submit to international courts and extradite suspects, but if we can get people out of Russia then they can be prosecuted. Many of those who were guilty of war crimes in Bosnia and Kosovo were tried. They were caught, they were tried. It takes time, but the political will tend to shift because in ten years or whatever Russia will want sanctions lifted. That's when those who committed war crimes will start looking over their shoulders.
