@markmetz so is committing crimes of war suddenly badass.. No wonder why the world is how it is .

@Apan @markmetz You can't negotiate with nazis. And they don't tend to stick to "the rules".

So either you live with their actions (which tend to become increasingly vile with any degree of success) or you fight them tooth and nail. History suggests there is no middle ground.

@Apan @markmetz She was a civilian resisting a murderous enemy. It's not a matter of war, it's a matter of an individual's right to self defence.

@Apan @markmetz

War crimes are committed by military forces. Civilians resisting an occupying military force, even by extreme means, are not committing war crimes, because they are not subject to military law in any way.

They might be committing crimes according to the laws of their own country, but that's a separate question.

If I punch one of my own country's nazi sympathisers that's assault. If I melt an invading nazi's face with white phosphorus, it's self defence. No harm no foul.
