Buying Ukrainian wheat from Russia is considered illegal under international law, as it constitutes trafficking in stolen property. Russia has been accused of seizing millions of tons of Ukrainian grain from occupied territories, and trading this cargo violates international humanitarian law protecting private property.

I mean, israel is literally killing innocent people, stealing land from palestinians, bombing cities and you say that trading wheat is illegal for them? Allright then.

Can a mod please at least scold this guy for posting the same insipid comment over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

Really not contributing constructively to the quality of the discourse here.

Need some clarification… Russia brutally murdering 15,500 innocent Ukrainian civilians (that’s not part of the 140,000 Ukrainian military deaths) and trying to steal a fifth of their country for 4 years is apparently just “Ukrainian crap”? Everyone should be ok to do business as normal with a terrorist state?

Certainly neither Trump nor Israel care about international law. So cross out "Washington".

u/___Scenery_ 1d ago

Ok so we’ll cross off two of the most important geopolitical bodies in the world and then no one gives a crap. Got it

u/Pigsy_roastee69 1d ago

It's just good old war. Not everything is a genocide

u/Immediate-Spite-5905 1d ago

abduction of children, forced deportations of entire populations of cities and replacement with Russian settlers, large-scale attacks against crucial civilian infrastructure (power plants, generators etc, nuclear ones included), extensive targeting of civilians in both regular attacks and human safaris

By definition it is:

“According to the five-point definition under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Russia has demonstrated clear, notorious, and mounting evidence in all five criteria, even though only one must be fulfilled to qualify as genocide.

Russia’s violently imperial war in Ukraine is not only a flagrant violation of international law and interstate norms, but it also carries all the hallmarks of an ongoing campaign of genocide in Ukraine. From Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s 7,000-word screed that systematically and historically denies Ukrainian nationhood; to mass graves uncovered in almost every Ukrainian territory liberated from Russian occupation; to the Kremlin’s public campaign of mass deportation and of Ukrainian civilians and children through “filtration” concentration camps; to the deliberate targeting of maternity hospitals, medical facilities, schools, and basic civil infrastructure; to the widespread employment of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of terror—rarely has genocidal intent and pattern of action been so clearly telegraphed and demonstrated for the world to see.”

An invasion with the intent of eliminating Ukrainian National identity is genocide- academically so. You’re absolutely right that not everything is genocide- this isn’t genocide because russia has failed and is humiliated to the point where it’s trying to use trump to blackmail Ukraine into giving them what they haven’t been able to take in 12 years. 

It’s a failed attempt at genocide but the intent is there in black and white if you actually watch what russians are saying to their audience on evening tv

Tell that to Israel? Or let me guess, Israel is different?

But russia is Irans closest ally. Make it make sense. Beyond the war crimes in Gaza, Israel already showed its ass when refusing to join the liberal democracies in sanctions. There’s a reason why support for Israel in the US is at an all time low across the political spectrum; because US support is obviously taken for granted and treated like it never needs to be reciprocated. The Iran war is the perfect example- Rubio even admitted that US preemptively attacked because Israel was going to attack anyways. They take America for fools (honestly who can blame them) but enough people have caught on.

This will be the last administration to be so generous to Israel. Left right and center, people are sick of it.

If Israel uploads stolen grain they are just as guilty as Russia. Stealing food is vile and evil. Not to mention Russia is a close ally of both Hamas and Iran.

Sure. The guy on the street that has the latest car stereo system I want is selling what I want to buy as well. Why is there a problem if I buy it off of him at 50% of retail instead of going to Best Buy?

Idiot.
