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……
“I belief that second post refers to the proper border.”
Nope.
My second point refers to your abject refusal to acknowledge the US, NATO interaction v Russia in the last 8-10 years.
LOL
Go for it... not going to do one bit of research for you.
LOL, Russia invading its neighbor and you trying to drum it
up that it’s our fault nations want to join NATO all of a
sudden.
Thanks for the introduction of levity.
Non answer.
You poor thing.
I don’t care if you like my answer or not.
It’s my answer. You’re stuck with it.
Well that’s a pretty intelligent response ... , NOT !
Sorry for the late response, internet problems. I must admit my Evelyn Woodhead Sped Reding course is preety dated and I failed to update since the mid 80's. Yes you did mention Trump after pressured to do so. On that morality wheel of yours, show me the sinless politician, or have you given up voting all together? Trumps dalliances do not compare to the globohomos, no way no how. Homos don't have 'supposed moral failings', they are walking talking moral failures across their entire daily lives.
Trumps dalliances do not compare to the globohomos,
First of all, Zelensky is not a homosexual. To make that claim without evidence or him admitting it is slander/calumy and falls under the thou shall not bear false witness commandment.
Second, adultery and homosexual acts are both forbidden under the sixth commandment. If your are a Protestant and your and saying one sin is more serious than others then you are sounding Catholic (venial/mortal). And an serial adulterer is a walking talking moral failure too until he/she repents and desist. A person who bangs a porn star while his wife is preganant is a moral failure.
What pristine politician do you plan to vote for? Let me know so I can do my part.
I never said politicians should be pristine.

"...For those of us who love spy thrillers, the story of the sleeper cell (a.k.a. the Illegals Program) that spent the last 15 years infiltrating American "policy-making" circles is certainly fascinating and will only get more interesting as the details leak out. While they were cozying up in America, a prominent Russian professor named Igor Panarin was making rounds in that country's policy-making circles, also doing his best to undermine America. The map below is his creation. Released in 1998, it predicted the breakup of the U.S. into six pieces by 2010."
"...the Wall Street Journal reports: "Panarin is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations."

And here you are posting pictures of nuclear explosions as Putin threatens nuclear strikes. Yet you say you are not a collaborator or Quisling for Russia as you promote Putin's foreign policy position having authored apparent KGB-inspired work?
Go eff yourself, sideways, and the Globo-Homo horse you rode in on.
