If you’re upset that the war crimes of a country A against country B are left unpunished, it is still immoral to condone war crimes perpetrated by a country C against country D.

It is, yes, but it's a moot point because nobody is getting punished here.
To the rest of the world, a court that picks sides and issues symbolic arrest warrants isnt a real court at all.
If country A undermines international law that opens the door for country C to commit atrocities with impunity.
If country A's citizens only condemn country C then they're only interested in mob justice.

If country C is committing crimes at 100x the magnitude it’s worth realizing that maybe the law is powerless but that doesn’t need to drive our feelings towards which countries are the bad actors.
