    No, civilians could be charged for war crimes. Nazis like Martin Borman and Julius Streigher were civilians charged for war crimes. Nevertheless the truth is on our side, russians should all rot and die in pain

      It’s a pretty big stretch to call leaders of the Nazi party civilians. This argument is like saying Putin’s cabinet aren’t guilty of warcrimes because they aren’t soldiers. If you’re in a position to effect policy and/or give orders that result in warcrimes at the very least you do not fit into the category of civilian we’re discussing.

        Sadly enough, both Maria Lvova-Belova and these civilians that poison food are complicit in war crimes. Yes, different war crimes, different even from a moral standpoint. Yes, I understand your urge to kill every ruski pig you encounter, but this doesn’t lie in a legal plane.
