UN Human Rights Council Approves Investigation Of Russian Violations In Ukraine

Appalling on Putin's part.

[OhioBuckeye]

I think Putin thinks he is the #1 Super Power & dating any country to help Ukraine. So far the poor Ukraine people are defending themselves. Hope the sanctions work but so far Putin is calling it a bluff.

[QUOTE=VApeople;2067845]Thanks.

And Ukraine just wants to be independent and make their own choices, which seems very reasonable.

However, there can be a problem if you border a very powerful, aggressive, imperialist country. Ask Mexicans how they feel about what we did to them in 1846.[/QUOTE

It was a lot more complicated that mean ole US and poor helpless Mexico.

Hmm what have you been smoking?

This is correct. Everyove should check out Ukraine's "Azov Battalion" Even Wikipedia doesn't hide it. Azov Battalion uses Na%zi WW2 SS & other symbols proudly- right now.

Ukraine army executed an Israeli Jewish civilian a few days ago. Pulled him out of a car at acheckpoint and shot him.

Even the Times of Israel had the story. I won't provide a link. People need to do their own research and stop believing Drudge & Maddow, who now have the same swampy talking points.

[Geodyssey]

Ukraine is advertising for mercenries to come fight.

Who here would reccomend their grandkids or kids go to fight some place most Americans can't find on a map?

Keyboard couch warriors...

Eastern Ukraine is Russian, 90 percent of the people are ethnic Russians. The areas were "gifted" to Ukraine SSR by Stalin in 1922.

Why is the US backing Soviet shifting lines on a map? People make a nation.

Russia will defend Russians. Too bad Biden won't protect Americans (rampant crime, open borders, etc)

Bottom line- why is any of this the business of America?

One has to wonder if the Putin apologists on TOTV are in fact, plants from the 'Evil Empire!'

[Joe C.]

Lots of truth and lies in the news and on television. There is so much propaganda on both sides that try to stir the masses in their wanted direction. So it takes an intelligent mind and a grain of salt to get too emotional or angry. Civilian deaths in a war are always present. Every nation that has been at war has killed innocent civilians. We did it in Dresden, Germany and when we firebombed Tokyo in WW II.
I saw a news clip where a Russian missile hit the Ukranian Parliament building. I saw the same clip on another news channel while they were talking about damage to a children's hospital. One was real and one was propaganda. Listen, and take it slow.

Ukraine's Avov Battalion:
Azov Battalion - Wikipedia

"neo-N%zi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine.."

----------------

People should stop and ask themselves "why are Americans backing actual N%zis?"

[triflex]

90,000 Ukrainians joined the Nazi SS and last year (2021) Ukrainians across the country celebrated the Nazi SS soldiers.

NATO today has Turkey as a member which oppresses its own people and is run by a de facto dictator.

The US has no business being involved in NATO.

In addition, Ukraine was moving towards becoming a NATO country which was crossing the line that Putin could not accept.
