Ukraine Conflict - In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only war!

They just need to call it "enhanced interrogation", and it'll be fine.

Yep, and personally I wouldn't call it terrorism either, despite the method. That does mean it isn't terrorism when Russia does it either though.

That seems pretty standard, for war, and the complete lack of any statistics beyond an age range is telling. That always suggests the absolute number is low.

You'd have been better off quoting their most recent report about sexual mistreatment of POWs. Even then, the same thing is happening right now in Israel, and was very well documented as happening with the US as well. So there's an excellent case that's just par for the course for warfare but being highlighted here primarily because it's the bad guys doing it.

Most of the claims of rape being systemic still resolve down to one single Ukrainian official- who got sacked for lying too outrageously.

Come on its Christmas and holiday  time 

You can  do  much better than that, playing the " look how bad the US is because of enhanced interrogation "   card  is so....so 2010ish 

 

I can appreciate  the appropriate use of whataboutism but this is not one of those times 

 

We talking about the reality of the long list of Russian war crimes   in Ukraine  and how some of the Russian military have been involved in rape and killing of civilians.

Lets stay on point

Was more thinking of the IDF, really, more than the bankrupt complaints on moral grounds from the US.  Hardly excusing Russia to point out that, but oh well.

They probably do refer to torture as that though, internally, sanitized language works well to reference Carlin.

~40k civilian casualties in 3 years. Still behind Gaza, hah. Although I think people say 100k died in Mariupol

[Mamoulian War]

Seems like the UA numbers about the RU casualties are pretty accurate. Mayor of Moscow admitted to cameras, that there are currently 600k soldiers attending medical rehabilitation .

Excerpt of his speech is somewhere after 3 minute mark of the video below.

Also Russia shot down another civilian airliner, and and ther “chinese” ship cut another cable.

assassination using disguised bomb are act of terror

guess the only thing can stop bad guy with bomb is good guy with bomb

Nevermind that Russia has launched thousands of cruise missiles at civilian targets during the last few months. It’s the killing of General who ordered it, that should be called the act of Terrorism…

I don't think the world is fair. Funny thing about rules, laws, legal justice etc. is, it's inherently "unfair". Experience has just shown the world is less likely to descend into complete chaos if there are rules frameworks in place, no matter how much they get twisted, turned and abused for selfish purposes.

Destruction of any military target, which is actively engaged in the hostilities, wherever he is residing, is a valid defense. Especially, when no collateral damage has been inflicted. For all sides of the conflict. Terrorist attack performed by UA was the van exploding on Kerch Bridge. Although few people might dispute it as it was performed to slow down the most used logistic route to occupied Crimea. Liquidation of a war criminal and mass murderer of civilians is definitely not such case.

First confirmed capture of “never deployed” DPRK soldier into Europe has been reported. Including picture.

 Although not sure why it matters, that much, well other than people who want NATO troops in Ukraine for some reason.  But good to have something other than having to trust in the omniscient UA intelligence
