    I feel like Ukraine should be able to use any defensive weapons they want, especially as the US continues to screw them over

      Chemical warfare? Cluster munitions? Bombing of population centers?

      The point of international law on warfare is that they apply to everyone regardless of circumstances. What you’re suggesting is war crimes in self-defense.

        When it’s being done to you the rules go out the window. I think this is a study in human nature. When you’re about to be killed would you kill the person attacking you? Would you lay down on your principles and just die? I don’t know the answer.
