> Complete Bullsh*t. Lichess has been around since 2010. No action was taken against any country for the wars in Darfur, Pakistan, Iraq , Syria, Yemen, The Kivu conflict, the Congo war and countless more which had much greater death tolls. Completely political stance. Its a shame to see lichess sink to these depths.

How many of these were invasions designed to conquer a country, annex territory, and destroy a people / country from existing at all? Invasions to erase a cultural identity?
There have been very little aggressive pro-conquest wars in the last 80 years. Off the top of my head I can't think of many. The Falklands, maybe? Most are civil wars or border skirmishes over disputed claims, not an outright invasion of a nation. Even the Iraq war wasn't with the purpose of conquering territory to become part of another country.
