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

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?).

Emphasizing the specific fate of the Jews was thus considered to be deliberately demoralizing the Soviet population a…
