    This is one of those war crimes you can know very little about war crimes and still identify. It’s just that fucked.

      It’s called “perfidy”

      Quoting Wikipedia:

      In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed.
