State Department ‘Human Rights Report’ reveals what our government really thought of pre-war Ukraine.
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (a branch within the US State Department) releases annual ‘Human Rights Reports’ on 194 different countries around the globe. Their 2021 report for Ukraine was released in April of this year. Despite its relevance to whether US intervention in the RU-UA war is merited, the report received zero media coverage.
The report highlights “serious abuses” in the Donbas region citing multiple sources: “International organizations and NGOs, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the HRMMU, issued periodic reports documenting abuses committed in the Donbas region on both sides of the line of contact.”
Here are major examples of ‘significant human rights issues’ listed by the bureau:
unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings by the government or its agents torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment of detainees by law enforcement personnel harsh and life-threatening prison conditions arbitrary arrest or detention serious problems with the independence of the judiciary serious restrictions on free expression and media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, and censorship serious restrictions on internet freedom refoulement of refugees to a country where they would face a threat to their life or freedom serious acts of government corruption lack of investigation of and accountability for gender-based violence crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by anti-Semitism crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting persons with disabilities, members of ethnic minority groups, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex persons the existence of the worst forms of child labor……
Both Zelensky and Vlad are corrupted, support neither.Let the children sort it out.
Stolen elections have consequences.
I searched the interweb today for a Fcuk Ukraine t-shirt, but seemingly there is no such thing.
Biden would burn the house down rather than be found out he ate all the cookies in the cookie jar.
That is what we are risking nuclear for.
That is the thing we have as Predident.
Don’t shoot the messenger but I’ve heard we’re risking nuclear war because people in the west think Putin is a “homophobe”.
Zelinski and his punks shelled the Russian part of Eukraine constantly, killing 1000’s of civilians. He put all the blame on Russia. Russia said enough, this is so documented on rumble, YouTube and other channels that’s it’s not even funny. Eukraine is about to not exist. Then there is Poland and it’s old boarder. Look it up as they appear to be getting a tad uppity as well. The Biden crime family’s playground may be done.
It wouldn't surprise me.
I would also ask the corollary question: Threatening Nuclear War for What?
-PJ
Russian’s don’t allow gay propaganda to be foisted on children. That’s certainly worth risking nuclear war.
In military operations, you have to begin with the end in mind.
What will things look like when the war is COMPLETELY over?
I would like to hear our great President’s view of this.
If he can’t articulate that, then we are just engaged in money laundering for the Democrats.
I don’t see any folks supporting Russia asking Russia to
please back off to the international border with the Ukraine,
and stop threatening to use nukes.
Backing the Russian invasion to this point, and acting as
if the West were the reason we’re on the brink of nuclear
war is just nonsense.
The West did not threaten to nuke Russia or its forces.
Does anyone here believe that the corrupt sh!thole of Ukraine
would get a bullet or a dime from the US of A if it didn’t have the goods on the corrupt sh!thead Biden, and his Family?
Along with the Pelosi, Romney, Kerry, and assorted other commiecrat families.
Of course not!
There’s a lot of American taxpayer money being laundered through the Ukraine. Do you want to upset the balance of international goodwill? Why do you think we suddenly have a plethora of war trolls on FR that we’ve never even heard of before?
the reason Putin threatens nuclear war is because the Nazis are taking over
gotta stop the Nazis whatever the cost!!!
The sh*t is about to hit the fan. Russia is taking the gloves off and will prosecute this war fully. They intend to go after the infrastructure, i.e., electrical grid, railways, water treatment facilities, airports, bridges, ports, roads, etc. The new Russian commander is ruthless and brutal. Life is about to get very hard for Ukrainians. The sooner we have a negotiated solution, the better. It is the only way the war ends. Ukraine shares a 1,500 mile border with Russia. They must learn to live with each other.

That's a pretty bigoted view of another country, and not based on reality. But the answer to your question is yes, many people know that Ukraine or any other nation invaded by the Russians would get plenty of arms and dollars from the USA. Historically the US has not only sent money and arms but soldiers to fight countries invaded by nations that the US considered hostile. Think about Korea or Vietnam as two examples.
The USA sends military aid to many nations around the world, and I doubt it is because of blackmail.
You may want to consider whether you have swallowed one too many conspiracy pill.
