> Seems like Putin didn't want to piss off Xi by starting a war before/during Xi's "look at how great we are" Olympic Games.

And it'd seem that Putin favors dates like 22.02.2022 for some strange reason.

Russia launched their full-scale invasion of Georgia on 08.08.2008, too.

Since you said:

I can't help but wonder if you'd find it equally difficult if someone calls certain actions of the Nazis a crime -- assuming there was limited legal basis for it (no international treaty) at the time, etc.

Or is it only difficult when we're talking about American crimes?

You are unaware of the Nuremberg trials, it seems?
