    “Russia’s forced transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children to areas under its control amounts to a war crime, the investigators said, also warning of possible crimes against humanity.”

    If it was a U.S. invasion they wouldn’t commit the “war crime” of evacuating children to safe zones and given roofs and food, they would be machine gunning them for sport and post-mortem pulling justifications out of its ass to get them labeled as combatants.

    Or you know, as they say, “Pizzaro didn’t step on every anthill on his way to conquer the Incas,” lucky for some children victims of U.S. empire they are not directly gunned down and instead ignored and left with bombed out water treatment and schools and hospitals and have the privilege of instead dying to the elements or risking thousand-mile journeys to immigrate to some Western land to be treated like dogshit.

    Cool stuff.

      Reminder that today is the anniversary of the Mai Lai Massacre that the US committed against over a hundred Vietnamese women and children. And it was just the one massacre the public found out about. Imagine hoe many more there were.

        Yeah I’ve always wondered how much shit they’ve gotten away with…I wonder even if a socialist party got power how much papers will burn before the masses knock down the doors. It really is fortunate for us that they tattle on themselves all the damn time.

        I try to not hate the average USian soldier and “forgive them for they know not what they do” it, but when shit like Mai Lai or those guys who were hunting Afghan children happens it’s hard to be so understanding. People who do these things might be the most overtly extreme but to me they’re the most honest face of the machine.

      The UN investigator who went to China to check on the Uyghurs last year found basically nothing of note and got pressured into resigning. The same could easily happen here.

      Like that IAEA mission. At first they were detained by UA, thanked Russians for protection (from whom?), said there were multiple attacks on the nuclear plant, but the report ultimately missed all this except the attacks since it was the reason they were there in the first place. but they strangely forgot to mention who was attacking who there.

      And thus even lemmy, not to mention cesspits like reddits are full of people claiming Russians shelled themselves. Meaning the artillery allegedly stationed at plant shelled the artillery stationed at plant.

    Does stopping UA government from signing a peace deal and thus having more and more people conscripted and thrown under artillery count as a genocide?

      I guess it must be more direct to be count as one, but seeing the mass of refugees and emmigrants from Ukraine, west sure did cleansed Ukraine ethnically, how else you would call making a country lose half of its population.

    The people in power knows it’s bullshit but the narrative depends on the ignorant believing that this is literally WW2 complete with a holocaust.

    I almost want to bash my head into something because it’s like…DUH…but I doubt I could link anybody to this and it will change their mind.

    Still, it’s always nice when MLs are like “America bad, for XYZ reasons,” and US/Western institutions are just like, “yep.”
