If our media didn't cover Putin's war on Ukraine, it wouldn't be a war crime

[Craig234]

Proof: media doesn't cover the unjustified years-long Saudi war on Yemen - that it took us years to stop helping them on - and Saudi's leader isn't called a war criminal for it. MSNBC host Mehdi Hassan asks an official, wouldn't the US have more credibility if we called out allies and not only enemies?

Yep. If Ukraine wasn't a media supported war, nobody would care.

But this is the way the Biden pukes and the WEF want it.

It wouldn't be a "progressive" thread without a little kowtowing to Putin.

Actually, we are still helping the Saudis in Yemen. We just supplied them with hundreds of millions of dollars in additional aid.

Over eighty THOUSAND Yemeni kids have died due to the famine caused by Riyadh’s war effort. The Saudis have launched hundreds of air strikes against civilian targets....

And the US has been helping the Saudis the entire time.

Pointing out the hypocrisy has nothing to do with “kowtowing to Putin”.

Quoting from the article:

Beth Van Schaack, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice, responded that "the United States has worked tirelessly to promote accountability and documentation of abuses all across the world."

"There's a number of situations" at the International Criminal Court (ICC)—which probes and prosecutes genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression—that the Biden administration has been "very supportive of," Van Schaack said. "The standards apply to all parties and we are looking at all conflicts around the world with an eye toward bringing the parties better into compliance with international law." --- End quote


Another quote:

... given federal law and longtime U.S. government objection to the ICC exercising jurisdiction over nations that aren't part of the treaty that created the court—including the United States. --- End quote


It sounds to me like she gets paid well to lie.

Nonsense. All of Europe is watching and they should, Russia is primarily their problem.
