The US Justice Department took the unprecedented step of charging four Russian soldiers with war crimes against an American living in Ukraine, who was allegedly savagely beaten, tortured and subjected to a mock execution.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Wednesday these were the first charges brought under a little-known 1996 federal law that allows the US to prosecute people who commit war crimes against Americans abroad.
“As the world has witnessed the horrors of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, so has the United States Department of Justice,” Garland told a news conference.

And 12,000 illegals flooded into America yesterday. Palestinian terrorists have stopped Christmas Tree ceremonies in several towns, and the Presidents of MIT, Harvard and Penn are unsure whether calling for genocide is bullying.
And this is what the FBI and DOJ are focusing on.
The collective in Washington DC sits around all day inventing nothing to talk about a lot via their media pukes.
I’m increasing my prayers for Gonzalo Lira, that he is still alive in Ukraine, and that the US State Department is still trying to help him.
Well now there’s precedent, the DOJ can charge the Ukrainian SBU with holding blogger Gonzalo Lira…right?
But. Never. Hamas. Oh No! freaking Garland— what a real queer feller.
Who’s going to serve the arrest warrant, the FBI? I hope CNN televises the raid on the Kremlin.
He is a US citizen too. The regime could get him back.
This war crime thingee is to try and get sympathy to goad Congress into giving Zelensky another 60 billion.
This is going nowhere by the way.
I’m glad the prisoner in the story was released and is alive!
May he live long enough to relieve the pain of remembering.
Great point. Where are the War Crime complaints on Hamas who shot women in their groins and cout their breaststroke off before they killed them? Oh, excuse me, they were Jewish, so the State and DOJ don’t give a damn.
Garland is such a tool. This obviously a ploy to get America aroused enough to back more Ukraine spending. I don’t think so. Tell Zelensky to round up all the money they’ve stolen from us first.
Well put.
And when against Palestinian Islamic HAMAS?
Who cares? There is literally no such thing as a war crime. War itself is a crime called murder sanctioned by government. What is worse than murder?
And don't forget that Fed.gov will likely face a $3 Trillion deficit next year, up from $2 Trillion now.
Biden is a completely demented figurehead, DC is under control by deep-state factions and ideologues, and government is suffering complete paralysis. They will create debt until the country collapses.
And not Hamas/”Palestine”, for raping, torturing,kidnapping starving, and killing Israeli and American civilians?
Putin must be shaking in his boots!
This is just more of that silly-assed and childish Democrat posturing over substance.
Thanks silverleaf.
Oh, OK. What’s the point, then?
