For a start rapists should be shot no question, as for murder if Ukraine publicly arm civilians out of uniform then it gets more complicated, as for torture the Americans seemed to think water boarding was perfectly acceptable so maybe they have set the standard for others to follow, I guess that's the reality of following America's example on how to fight a war!That's the reality of war, very different to murder, rape, torture etc of prisoners. That's a war crime, you can't compare the two.
