Calling crime of aggression the 'supreme crime' is an insult to the victims of genocide

Don't be Russian

The Russians forced the crime of aggression as the ‘supreme’ crime at Nuremberg in order to make genocidal rodina the ‘real victim’ of World War 2 (the Nazis were more genocidal, I’m not making an equivalency argument - did I mention my grandpa?).

Gordon Brown @GordonBrown

If proven in court, these acts of aggression could constitute what the Nuremberg trials termed the “supreme international crime”. For it is the crime of aggression from which most other international crimes – war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide – often flow.

Calling crime of aggression the ‘supreme’ crime or ‘crime of crimes’ spits on the graves of every victim of genocide. Murder. Torture. Deportation. The myriad atrocities that occur in war OR OUTSIDE OF WAR. That are all crimes.

@MattRivett7 @irgarner Marginalize the Holocaust. Making crime of aggression the bullshit supreme crime. Now tell me how the Falklands War involved genocide? Or let’s try the Italian War of independence? Okay then, the Irish Civil War? How about Indo-China war? Gulf War I?

Which half the world (that’s being generous) views as an illegal war of aggression. For half the world, his talking about war of aggression is like Himmler condemning the Armenian genocide. I’m not debating the legality of that war but Brown is the last person, except for Blair and Bush, to talk about this.

And he’s spitting on the memory of Jewish victims. A good look for Labour.

Going back to the subject, the Russians stole the Holocaust from the Jews, Roma, homosexuals and minority victims.

How many times do the Russians mention Jews at Nazi trials?

I sometimes rant about the Russian appropriation of Nazi atrocities in order to make the rodina and Russians the real victims of World War Two, including sidelining Jews and non-Russian Slavs (Roma, homosexuals as well including others!). Emphasizing the specific fate of the Jews was thus considered to be deliberately demoralizing the Soviet population a…

Charge of war of aggression in Ukraine invasion

I’d like to present some rambling thoughts about the concept of war of aggression as it was conceived and in the current context. There’s more on this in my draft for the upcoming book. I would argue that the concept of war of aggression (crimes against peace) was heavily developed during WW2 primarily by Soviet pseudo-lawyers to frame the Second World …
