Russia’s Torture of Ukrainian Civilians, Prisoners Is a Crime Against Humanity, UN Expert Panel Says

Ukrainian POW's/civilians tortured while in Russian custody has now been documented by the United Nations. Repeated rape is used by the Russians to break the willpower of both females and males.

UN slams 'systematic' Russian torture of Ukraine civilians

GENEVA: Russian authorities have subjected civilian detainees in Ukrainian areas it occupies to torture, including sexual violence, in a "widespread and systematic manner", the United Nations said on Tuesday (Sep 23).In a fresh report, the UN rights office concluded that Russia since the start...

The United States is the last country that has room to talk about torturing prisoners.

Great! So when are the people responsible for America’s extensive torture program being brought to justice?

It’s not like it’d be hard to find them; one is literally the governor of Florida.
 
What? Russia committing war crimes? No, what will Trump and MAGA Republicans come up with to defend dear old Putin?

It's necessary to document these crimes because, as you can see above, we have individuals here who will deny it or work hard to change the topic.

Fact: Those who are okay with ceding Ukrainian territory over to Russia (like Donald Trump) are in fact also okay with consigning all of the Ukrainians who live in those occupied regions to unspeakable cruelties. Anyone - male or female - who had served in the Ukrainian military will be executed. Their families will be tortured, as will anyone who was previously a government official including town mayors. Males are conscripted into the Russian military and forced to partake in human wave attacks. POW's captured by Russia will be tortured as will any of their relatives living in Russia-occupied regions of Ukraine.

You Russian water-carriers here, and you know who you are, each carry a measure of culpability for Russia's war crimes. If you support Russia you also, by omission, support Russian war crimes. The two are inextricably linked.

Fact: American apologists’ blatant hypocrisy can’t actually change what the US has done, and, given the president’s statements on the matter, almost certainly continues to do

Fact: Americans who carry out the exact same “unspeakable cruelties” are hailed as national heroes. One is literally governor of Florida as we speak.

Fact: given that Russia still holds numerous Ukrainian POWs, the idea that Russia is just summarily executing every last one of them, as you asset here, is clearly untrue. It was also literally never true, as Russia didn’t execute the Ukrainian military defectors in, for example, Crimea when it took over there

Your sputtering is meaningless.
 
When is the last time America carried out a war of aggression to annex territories?
 
You know what's dumbfounding about the whole Ukrainian thing?

It's white men, women and children who are being murdered and kidnapped and tortured.

That usually sends MAGA off the deep end but I guess since it's mostly white on white crime they had to pick a side. So they picked the side of the aggressor who is murdering and kidnapping and torturing white families.

The last time America carried out a war of aggression? Iraq not ringing a bell, to name just one example?

But by all means, try and flail around “explaining” why wars of aggression aren’t as bad if you “only” intend to set up a puppet regime to loot the country you attacked

...to annex territories. I see you excluded that because you can't answer. Typical dodging and reductivism from you.

Awww, running from the question I see!

Who gives a shit? Wars of aggression don’t somehow become better because you wail you aren’t annexing the people whose civilians you are brutally torturing in the name of “freedom” or whatever.

The UN made it quite clear the U.S.’ actions were not justified in any way.

No, but you sure are running away from the facts! That and any hint of a rational thought.

About facts? Not you, obviously.
Irrelevant. We can all read 687 ourselves and don't need the UN to do it for us (well, I don't; can't really speak for you!).
 
Aww, maybe then you can explain the “rationality” in trying to pretend wars of aggression aren’t as bad if you cry about how you aren’t trying to carve up their land….

Oh wait, I know you can’t, and you’ll just keep flailing

Your stance of “the UN is irrelevant to what the UN says!” makes your sniveling about “rationality” even more funny

Aww, the guy who spends all day desperately trying to shield Israel from criticism for its little genocidal rampage is upset inconvenient facts are being pointed out again!

That’s just too damn bad
 
Your need to put quote marks around things that were never said is all anyone needs to know about who is flailing (and floundering).
