The Newest WAR CRIME of the New York Times. Exposing Russian PoWs.

Originally published on 18 August 2024.
The New York Times is committing a War Crime against Russia. One of the biggest news papers of the USA is itself the perpetrator of a warcrime, despite the US officially not being at war with Russia.

You don’t actually have to be a party to a war, nor do you have to be in the military to commit a warcrime. If you simply breach the laws of warfare during a war—be that your own war or the wars of others—you become a criminal under international law.

Naturally, this will have zero repercussions for either the criminal journalists involved nor on the paper itself, but it’s nevertheless worth looking at this case as it gives us some insight into the twisted mindset of a failing and declining hegemon.

I will first talk about the Crime the New York Times committed and why it is a crime and in the second part we’ll go through the New York Times article through which the war crime was committed.
