UP to 40,000 Ukrainians have been snatched from besieged cities and forced into Russian slave labour in a war crime revealed by The Sun today.
Sergei Orlov, deputy mayor of devastated city Mariupol, spoke exclusively from his bunker yesterday to reveal the plight of civilians hauled into enemy territory.
And he said hundreds of children are now lost and alone in the clutches of ruthless Russian troops after being forced away from their families.
Mr Orlov told the Sun: “Russian troops are bursting into cellars and basements where our people are hiding like frightened mice and telling them: ‘You have 15 minutes to leave.’
“If they refuse to come out the buildings are destroyed, leaving families entombed.
"We have made contact with people who have told us what is happening — they are being taken off to Russia to work for the state in depressed areas.

The toll from the Russian “massacre” is approximately 1000 civilians. I’m sure that’s equally shared with the Azov Battalion and Ukrainian Army tho. After a month, that’s hardly a massacre. But 1 point for effort. 😂
It was almost all on Powell that we stopped going into Iraq in GW1 looking for Saddam. Everyone in Washington knew it, which is part of the reason he was the face of “searching for WMDs” in the UN and all that bullsnot.
I heard it from someone who was in the military at the time that Powell’s military career was over when he was tasked with coming up a plan for the invasion of Iraq but he was deadset against it. His plan included masses of infantry going over the top and assaulting tank columns, pure World War 1 stuff, with more than 100k anticipated American casualties. He was hoping it would cause Bush to call off the war.
Along came Schwartzkopf and he asked if he could tweak the plan. We saw the genius of his plan when it was implemented, about 100 US casualties. It was the end of Powell’s military career and he went straight into politics from there.
“Bat Boy was cool. “
Weekly World News is back and they have a website.
The President sets the larger objectives. That was not an objective of Bush 41. If I am wrong, please point out where Bush 41 had an explicit, stated objective of removing S. Hussein for power in Iraq.
. Irregardless, the Powell Doctrine is still a sound test for the US to follow.

***That’s because he was listening to Powell. And some State Department weenies.
If I am wrong, please point out where Bush 41 had an explicit, stated objective of removing S. Hussein for power in Iraq.
***His son sure did, having learnt the lesson. Unfinished bizness.
. Irregardless,
***No such word.
the Powell Doctrine is still a sound test for the US to follow.
***It is an idiotic test to follow. Would you follow Jimmah Cartah’s test for the US economy? How about obambam’s test for racial equality? You don’t follow FAILUREs and their doctrine.
Excellent Putin Stooge Meltdown. 👏
Do you do anything these days, other than moan about Ukrainians defending their freedom?
Marsupials have the sense to stay clear of the area. I’m not sure that Biden does.
Do you have a source for that claim? And the buck stops with the President, ultimately.
No such word.
Well, okay - see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless
It is an idiotic test to follow. Would you follow Jimmah Cartah’s test for the US economy? How about obambam’s test for racial equality? You don’t follow FAILUREs and their doctrine.
We will disagree on if Powell is a failure. And that really skirts the question and is a matter of discernment - what specifically do you object to regarding the Powell Doctrine?
Is irregardless slang?
We label irregardless as “nonstandard” rather than “slang.” When a word is nonstandard it means it is “not conforming in pronunciation, grammatical construction, idiom, or word choice to the usage generally characteristic of educated native speakers of a language.” Irregardless is a long way from winning general acceptance as a standard English word. For that reason, it is best to use regardless instead.
“They are being forced to train the Russian soldiers how to fight.”
WINNER...WINNER
Chicken Kiev DINNER !!
Do you have a source for that claim?
***I posted one of my sources, someone I knew at the time in the military under his command. And at the time there were other sources in correlation but I don’t feel like playing fetch because I KNEW that one source so, I really don’t care where it goes after that.
And the buck stops with the President, ultimately.
***True. Didn’t you ever wonder why Powell was the front man for all that bullsnot about WMDs?
Kevmo: It is an idiotic test to follow. Would you follow Jimmah Cartah’s test for the US economy? How about obambam’s test for racial equality? You don’t follow FAILUREs and their doctrine.
Fury: We will disagree on if Powell is a failure.
***Then comment on the analogy, the real hypothetical. Do you follow FAILUREs for their doctrine? No.
And that really skirts the question and is a matter of discernment
***Yes I perceive you are skirting the issue.
- what specifically do you object to regarding the Powell Doctrine?
***Its origin. As I have stated. The man is a failure, and his assertions were what caused us to end GW1 prematurely. He deserves scorn, not a following. Look at where he ended up, acting and voting as a democrap. This surprises you?
Have you noticed that Long Jon No Silver joined up in Nov. 2012, right at the time oil/gas reserves in Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk had been discovered and oil companies were signing contracts to do exploration. No wonder Putin took over Crimea in 2014 and is now trying to take over the other two regions. It also explains why in 2014 he started sending in Mercenaries to east Ukraine to help enable them to defect from Ukraine. I have noticed other pro-Putin people signed up as FReepers in 2014. I searched for a Google page on this oiltopic. There are a lot of interesting articles to read here. I have not read them yet, but it appears there is probably a lot of petroleum to enable Europe to buy much of their needs from Ukraine rather than Russia. At the very least, Putin has caused enough destruction in Ukraine, that any oil profits would have to go into rebuilding cities, rather than doing the kind of development that could make Ukraine an important modern European country. What a dam shame!!
Interesting…
Thanks for the ping.
I deleted my first thought.
:D
And what are you
Zelensky globalist kneepad
Let’s see anyone can do what you attempt
Someone every five minutes here posts some crazy claim from the western tech media oligarchy
Your reply rather than conform or dispute or discuss it
Is simply to preemptively dismiss anyone who questions this onslaught of propaganda as a Putin lover
Does it ever cross your synapse freeway that plenty folks know when they are being lied to non stop
From the same folks who brought Russia Hoax and Covid and so on
Now they are spraying a fire hose of lies daily that fit their narrative
Ones views of right or wrong in this are secondary
The issue for me is we can no longer trust anything western media says and not only that but they wish to shut us up and stop us from seeking any information beyond their official narrative
That is a danger that should concern all Freepers and I imagine it does even some of the most ardent Zelensky supporters here
