Why The U.S. Won’t Call Putin’s Aggressions War Crimes — Yet
All you MAGA’s out there should pay attention to the President of Ukraine. Now THIS is what a real man, with conviction and courage looks like! Not that fat orange sprayed spoiled brat who is an elitist’s elitist crybaby draft dodger.
Biden is weak he can’t do anything I’m a Democrat I will not vote for him or any Democrat again I’m done with Democrat Biden so scared of Putin he just watch people die every day I hope he sleeps well while the Ukrainian people died
Negotiating with a war criminal? We have learned nothing.
Everyone is just dancing around the fact Putin is on an all or nothing mission. There IS no negotiating with Putin. He doesn’t cc are about war crimes allegations. He isn’t ashamed at all about what he’s doing. He intends to publicly shame the west to show how weak the west is. He’s not going to stop. So, we are going to sit back, put our feet up butter the popcorn and witness a massacre of innocent women, children and elderly humans because they are not part of NATO. I’m sorry but that’s BLSHT!!
We are no better than Putin is! We are just as guilty! History will hold us accountable. Makes me sick and ashamed!
And Fox News will cheer and claim it was fake Nazi Ukrainians
Biden and his girlfriend Kamala are not doing anything to protect the Ukrainians.
The Biden admin left priceless bio-weapons in Ukraine for Russia, just like they left billions in military equipment in Afghanistan for the Taliban.
I wonder what Joe will leave for Xi in Taiwan???
Its only OK when US did it
Invading a sovereign nation unprovoked itself is a debatable war crime? I don’t understand why not.
There is no negotiating with a psychopath
Biden so weak should resign immediately
The US has not signed the Hague Convention on War Crimes, so legally it is outside the system on this and can’t call it a War Crime
Because USA did even worse with IRAQ
To answer the titles question it’s like the pot calling the kettle black
Question: Why The U.S. Won’t Call Putin’s Aggressions War Crimes
Simple Answer: Because the Biden administration has no balls
If the British and Americans hadn’t committed war crimes in Iraq they would be more credible and, perhaps, Putin might be less eager to follow suit.
loser trump, miss his first love, putin
Do people really think that Putin would go to prison at the age of 70yrs old, I don’t think so, he would rather press the big red button
Let’s be honest please, the U.S. also did not sign the banning of cluster bombs so we won’t call there use a war crime. By not reporting the facts you do us a disservice.
Victory for Ukraine and let us sign away our use of cluster munitions.
Bias reporting
Yea, there’s a war there. Kinda dangerous.
Nuke Moscow.
The U.S. isn’t a supporter of the International Court because the U.S. is harboring a number of war criminals of its own.
