Ukraine’s human rights commissioner has called for more international pressure on Moscow to help Kyiv bring home thousands of Ukrainian children who Kyiv says have been illegally taken to Russia during the war.
i can’t do much to help ukraine, but i can say this: fuck russia so hard.
You actually can. They welcome everyone as a soldier.
No they don’t, and certainly not untrained, out-of-shape, middle-aged, white-collar foreigners.
It’s much more useful if you can donate money to u24.gov.ua for example.
Just to counter the typical tankie argument, here’s one shitty thing USA hasn’t done, right?
I mean, not recently, but yeah. People trying to make the crimes of the USA and the crimes of Russia the same, especially in this conflict is silly. Also, even if it was the same, it still wouldn’t be okay by any measure.
We were doing this regularly as a matter of policy with illegal immigrants until…let me check my notes…the 2020’s.
I don’t support much of anything Russia has ever done, but this is not a point where we have any moral high ground over them whatsoever.
Yeah, I was genuinely looking for information here, even if in a bit loaded way. Thanks.
You can always reframe it, I guess. Russia probably tells it like “we rescue children from a poor country run by Nazis and their parents who fight us”.
Similarly, the West: “we rescue children from t the ISIS regime and their terrorist parents who fight us”.
Similarly, the West: “we rescue children from t the ISIS regime and their terrorist parents who fight us”.
Did we actually do that?
