“Amnesty International has hated the U. S. for the last 40
years.”

Roughly the time from when the Cold War was ending until today...while we were running around igniting coups and bombing people (like Serbs) for sport.

“Bastogne during WW2”

You didn’t even tell half the story.

Bastogne was THE crossroads with all seven major cross-country roads intersecting there. The US assigned an infantry division to protect it and prevent German armor from crossing there.

It was to the rear of the front.

AND the US did not embed troops/equipment in schoolyards, apartment buildings and hospitals/old folks homes.

Ukraine clearly HAS. And in most cases are not defending a strategic site.

It was related to people in our prisons, but don’t let that
stop you.

Ukrainian Ministry of Truth can handle this, yes, ZelenskyyIdiot?

“In comments to the piece, Zelensky was called a “laughing stock” and a “corrupt NATO puppet”. And they suggested he be sent to eastern Ukraine to “face a real trial for his war crimes”. “I hope to see the day when Zelensky is captured, stripped naked, shackled and then flogged,” wrote one user.”

You're completely wrong. Where do you think the US soldiers were at Bastogne , at some army base? They were dug in at civilian homes and shops.

The Unknown Dead: Civilians in the Battle of the Bulge

Conspicuously lacking in most accounts, however, are references to the civilians in Belgium and Luxembourg who lost their lives in the same battle. Yet the most reliable current estimates calculate at approximately three thousand. the number of civilians who perished during the six weeks of fighting. Telling the stories of ordinary people caught up in the maelstrom of war

Zelensky Slams Amnesty International Over Report: 'Cannot Be Tolerated'

Clearly, Biden needs to quickly drone everyone at Amnesty International.

How many Offices do they have, by the way?

Amnesty responded to Zelenski’s remarks saying they stand on what they stated about Ukraine.

“It was known for it, and its credibility was shot long ago.”

Ukraine does not deny the facts of the accusations.

They only take umbrage with the characterizations, and the fact they were mentioned at all.

They feel fully justified in using these, what appear to be strategic and national tactics.

And you support them in their war crimes.

Of course civilians were killed in Bastogne.

And OF COURSE somebody who puts the interests of a foreign country above the interests of the US would accuse the US army of Ukrainian/Palestinian human shield tactics!

The US Army never used a building...school, hospital, residence etc. without first evacuating the civilians there. Not in WWII, and not since.

But you accuse them of just that. The friggin’ US Army...the outfit that has lost at least as many men protecting civilians as achieving objectives.

Shame.

But war criminal Ukrainians do it systematically and it is part of their national defense strategy.

They embed with the civilians in the most photogenic of buildings, and DO NOT evac them. Often they do not even inform them...and worse...prevent their departure.

And YOU support and defend them.

You poor thing. After more than five months you still haven’t come to terms with being a neocon for Russia. The Ukraine announced it would not seek to join NATO on March 15th.

Russia is still in the Ukraine nearly five months later, and you think it still should be.

You guys are morally bankrupt.

And just like the homo Ukrainian you avoid addressing the issue.

Afraid to engage argument on the merits.

Unwilling to defend your cute moral position.

You're completely making shit up. Amnesty is NOT accusing Ukrainian soldiers of using a building with civilians in it. They are accusing Ukraine of having the military in 'residential areas', just like the US had during the Battle of Bastogne.
