The Brink of War?

[Dodger]

Possible evidence of Russian soldiers being ordered to kill Ukrainian citizens - curtesy of Germany's foreign intelligence.

Apparently, the evidence includes both direct communications intercepts (telephone) and satellite images.

Russia has been dismissed from the UN Human Rights Council. Evidence of appalling war crimes is clear to the world.

Yeah, UN now needs to be reformed. Having Russia as a permanent member with veto power quite obviously isn't going to work anymore.

Apparently, they forgot to add the clause "you can't start WWIII" into the charter when they formed the organization.

Apparently Russia was just voted in as a member in 2021 serving a temporary 3 year term.

Ironically, Cuba, Bolivia, and China also became members of this illustrious club in 2021 which makes about as much sense as asking North Korea to Chair the meetings.

If the primary mission of the Human Rights Council is to...err... "promote and protect human rights around the world", why in the hell are they inviting the worlds most notorious human rights violators to join. This is like enrolling the KKK in the Black Lives Matter Council.

Go figure!

Unfortunately for you there is no mechanism for to remove permanent member of UN Security council.

Well, US wasn't member of UN Human Right Council till 2009 because of Iraq. Did US lost something? US wasn't member of UN Human Right Council at time of Trump. Did US lost something?

Russia wasn't member of UN HRC in 2017 -2019 already.

This is most stupid step - to expel country from UN HRC, because after country exit from UN HRC, country loses nothing, but HRC loses possibility to influense on country's behavior. It isn't punishment - it means to untie hands.

Yeah, yeah... same as Russia complained today that it was "illegal" and against the rules for them to be kicked off the UN human rights council.

Well, it was also illegal to invade Ukraine but you did it anyway, so go fuck yourselves...

[Moses]

Well, it was also illegal to invade Ukraine but you did it anyway, so go fuck yourselves...

why do you think it was illegal to invade? there is no law against invasion, because such law will make US main criminal country in world... so US never agree on existence of such law, like US don't support ICC and Rome statute.

Well, now I guess it all depends on who wins this war, now doesn't it? Those who win get to make the laws. That's how this shit works.

Whether you like it or not, you're definitely on the wrong side of history. You, Russia and Putin can go fuck right off..

Once again, remember... Russia is quite obviously already struggling, and NATO has yet to even fire a shot.

NATO will not fire any single shot unless it will want WWIII: Russia is nuclear country.
