Attacking a reservoir is illegal (war crime) as it is a piece of civilian infrastructure. All attacks on civilian infrastructure are crimes of war and can be punished under the Geneva Conventions.
Deliberately starving a civilian population by destroying or blocking access to food, water, and other survival necessities is a war crime. This includes interfering with humanitarian relief supplies. A 2019 amendment to the Rome Statute extended this prohibition to non-international armed conflicts, closing a significant gap in the law.
Unless they can prove that the reservoir was being used as part of the military or military support operations,it’s off limits.
Since the usa was in negociations and even said that it was a retaliation against the shooting for the helicopter. The principle of necessity and proportionality is not there.
Almost certain that the person you’re replying to is saying that the article should say that it’s a war crime, not that it isn’t one because the article doesn’t say so.
This exactly. For the mouth-breathers out there who don’t understand why it’s a bad idea to bomb reservoirs, it’s important to state clearly this is a war crime.
Of course, the fucking US Government has done countless war crimes and not been prosecuted. So… yeah.
So you need a news reporter to declare its a war crime before you will use your own brain and understand the definitions of war crimes, is that whats going on here?
They are criticizing the article for being non-comprehensive.
You are criticizing them because you misunderstood their point and I guess you felt the need to keep digging until you started throwing insults.
You know - I don’t think I need to offer further commentary. The facts are in evidence.
Take a deep breath. Think of something you’re grateful for, and tell someone you care for them. That is your penance.
Its pretty straight forward. Then look at "orbituary"s other comments and you see stuff like this:
Yes. For the dummies, you do. What is hard to understand about this? Not everybody is well informed or educated enough to know what is and is not a war crime.
So if you want to dick-waggle at someone about nuance and not understanding, talk to your buddy Orbituary. Its a lame point made poorly, and your assigning ire to me on it is another lame point. You have yourself a nice day, and get off your dumb high horse assigning people “penance”. Who the eff do you think you are?
edit:
@Monument, I do see that the pattern of your comments is exactly this in many instances-- its what you are here for, accusing people of not understanding things, then calling them names on a high horse to make yourself feel smart. This is your whole shtick. Its Pathetic and Tedious. You must be real fun in real life.
Oh, you’re right! You did jump to insults right off the bat.
Then you stalked my account to try to create more personalized attacks.
I mean, you can keep arguing but you will have to do better than to accuse me of trying to be a good person. Unless you were trying to say I’m fake, but
I actually care. And the same sort of toxic user behavior that ruined Reddit long before the administrators did is something I try to meet with good humor and a sense of silliness. Maybe the Lemmy community can keep that at bay.
If your antipathy and rage at other people is such that you cannot break through it to realize someone is cracking a joke, then… I don’t know. I don’t have a constructive suggestion right now.
No joke here: Are you physically in pain? Maybe something you don’t realize is bothering you? Possibly some other drain on your psyche? You’re putting out a lot of hate for being random text in my phone.

Not a single mention of that in the article.

I understand that. I’m making a statement that there were no mentions of war crimes. Let’s do another round?
They bombed a reservoir.
That is a war crime.
The article doesn’t need to explicitly say “they gone and done some war crimes” for that to be the case.

Ah my mistake
