I seriously doubt that ISIS is a signatory of the Geneva Convention, and unlike our boy "Barry", he is actually trying to win.

White phosphorus is used mainly to generate smoke. If some of it gets on a jihadi, it’s just too bad.

I dunno...probably invading Ukraine was against some international law...but Vlad doesn’t seem too concerned about such things.

Against humans.

The ISIS muzzies have given up any claim to that with the crap they have pulled off. Burn them all.

White phosphorous was a huge issue when used against guerrillas in El Salvador in the 80s, IIRC.
The Geneva Conventions’ intent is to protect civilians, and mainly apply to conventional warfare, involving nations’ opposing armies.
But guerillas fight within and against their own nations. They don’t play by any conventional rules, increasingly employ depraved terrorist tactics, and hide among civilians in order to intentionally cause civilian casualties.
Such tactics essentially render the Geneva Conventions moot.

White phosphorous is OK so long as you do not waterboard them thereafter.
