This is both completely ineffectual - the equivalent of a strongly worded letter - but if it was ever executed would be seen by Russia as a declaration of war, and rightly so.

Inga বলেছেন...: Russia has done this deportation of populations before, at the end of WW2. Ethnic Germans who were Yugoslavian citizens since the birth of the country of Yugoslavia and before that subjects of Austria/Hungary since the early 1700’s, were taken by force to Russia to work in labor camps. Their children were often separated from them while they were forced laborers and when the parents died of hunger, were killed, or died of forced labor. Their children were then raised in Russian orphanages, had their real names changed to Russian names and were raised as Russians.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১২:০৮ PM

I don’t doubt that Putin has committed some horrible crimes. So have the Ukrainians and the U.S. There are no good guys here. Crimes against humanity in the midst of ethnic warfare have been the common history of Eastern Europe and the Russian Steppes for a thousand years.

rcocean বলেছেন...: The stupidity of these "Lawfare" actions is beyond belief. Why should Putin negotiate now? Why shouldn't he make it his number 1 priority to stay in office, since he might end up on War Crime charges if he leaves?

Where's the warrant for Zelensky's arrest? Ukraine has committed war crimes too. Remember the assassination of Dugan's Daughter by Ukrainian intelligence or the shelling of Russian Donbass?

And the nausaeatng hypocrisy. Bush invaded Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands. Biden Droned an innocent family in Afghanistan just before we left (whoopsie). Remember Clinton bombing an asprin factory? Its amazing how the USA leaders get us in these military actions and wars, and drop bombs (sometimes thousands of tons) on innocent poeple and they get ZERO war crime charges.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১:২১ PM

Inga বলেছেন...: “All things considered that is probably better than keeping the children with their dead parents.”

The children were taken away from the parents while they were alive. Of course after they were killed the children went to orphanages if they survived their parents. Many children died of starvation.

“Their children were often separated from them while they were forced laborers and when the parents died of hunger, were killed, or died of forced labor.”

"Finally, the Dutch have started fighting back against the crazies."

What are you referring to?

I assume you have not been keeping up with the Dutch government and its crazy ideas.

Here is a start from a sympathetic site to climate hysteria.

Dutch government proposals for tackling nitrogen emissions indicate a radical cut in livestock - they estimate 11,200 farms will have to close and another 17,600 farmers will have to significantly reduce their livestock.

Other proposals include a reduction in intensive farming and the conversion to sustainable "green farms".

As such, the relocation or buyout of farmers is almost inevitable, but forced buyouts are a scenario many hope to avoid.

If you don't think that's crazy,you're part of the problem. Dutch farmers are the most efficient in the world.

If you want to see the results of this stuff.

Sri Lanka, an island nation of 22 million, is facing an economic and political crisis, with protesters taking to the streets in defiance of curfews and government ministers stepping down en masse.

Driving the discontent is the worst economic downturn since the South Asian country gained independence in 1948, with crippling inflation sending the cost of basic goods skyrocketing.

Anger, which has been simmering for weeks, boiled over last Thursday, turning protests violent – and throwing the government into disorder.

What did they do? Banned chemical fertilizers, like Canada wants to do.

Ukraine is also NOT a signatory of the Rome Statute of the ICC.

Drago বলেছেন...: Inga: "Russia has done this deportation of populations before, at the end of WW2."

That wasn't Russia. It was the Soviet Union, which had an interestingly strong Ukrainian elements throughout its leadership caste. Krushchev was raised in Ukraine.

But Inga, as always, only barely tells half the story, if she's lucky.

After WW2 in the other eastern block nations ethnic germans were also ethnically cleansed and sent West by the millions, often in locked train cars where they perished due to lack of food and water, into a destoyed Germany where tens of thousands of others perished for all the usual reasons. And all with the tacit approval of the US and UK.

Estimates of the total number of ethnically cleansed Germans range from 10 to 15 million.

You know, I'm surprised Inga didnt just read a few historian's minds to find those tidbits of inconvenient history.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৬:১৮ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: LLR-democratical Chuck, who never served but did once offer a "courageous" War And Peace length treatise which covered the agonizing 36 second decision making process he followed to come to the "momentus decision, is back with his reflexive democratical/neocon talking points.

The only conversational item LLR-democratical Chuck spent as much time and passion on as his hilariously lame excuse for not serving was his quite disturbing, viciously violent and incredibly detailed homosexual rape fantasy of Rod Deher.

Oh, wait.

Given LLR-democratical Chuck's presumed age and his bizarre fixation over the years with an adolescent Barron Trump along with the violent homosexual rape fantasies, I think I'm getting a very clear picture of just why LLR-democratical Chuck did not serve....or could not serve.....

I mean, along with the clear Bill Kristol/Max Boot/Tom Nichols/et al-like cowardice.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৬:২৮ PM

Inga বলেছেন...: Drago, I am VERY well aware than there were millions of ethnic Germans in Eastern European countries other than Yugoslavia that were expelled, deported, killed, sent to forced labor camps in Russia at the end of WW2. In some of these Eastern European countries, ethnic Germans were being deported to Russia along with their children already by October of 1944, when the Russians had advanced to these German occupied countries. The war was not over. Yugoslavia was not an Eastern bloc country in 1944.

“Yugoslavia, the second-largest of the post-war countries, and the sole Communist state with open access to the Mediterranean, was only aligned with the Soviet Union for 3 post-war years (1945-1948). Its leader, Josip Broz Tito, broke with the Soviets with the Tito–Stalin split of 1948.”

Drago বলেছেন...: Blithering Idiot Inga: "Drago, I am VERY well aware than there were millions of ethnic Germans in Eastern European countries other than Yugoslavia that were expelled, deported, killed, sent to forced labor camps in Russia at the end of WW2."

I was clearly and explicitly referencing the millions of ethnic Germans from eastern europe that were also ethnically cleansed TO THE WEST.

I cant say I'm surprised though. You never read past headlines and you have zero reasoning skills.

Perhaps thats why you still believe the Hillary/FBI Hoax Dossier was mostly proven true and you STILL insist it was "perfectly normal" for Joe Biden to shower with his adolescent daughter.

Or have you reconsidered the "wisdom" of making such a claim?; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৮:০০ PM

Inga বলেছেন...: Also Drago, the ethnic Germans who were expelled CHOSE to go west. None chose to go to Russia or Eastern European countries, but thousands upon thousands were. Whether it was by boxcar, on foot or by horse and wagon, ethnic Germans were relieved to be going WEST instead of east to your beloved Mother Russia.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৮:৩৪ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: Inga: "No kidding. My family was one of them, you dunce."

Then your stupidity, already legion, becomes inexcusable.

Inga: "Also Drago, the ethnic Germans who were expelled CHOSE to go west."

So, locking them in railroad cars and letting them die, amongst other actions, is what? Excusable? Laudable?

Another or your "spark of divinity" killings like your MS13 amigos?

I can understand now why you give Biden a pass for showering with his 11 year old daughter.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৮:৫৬ PM
Inga বলেছেন...: When my family reached Austria finally felt safe from the Russians. Drago’s beloved Russians raped, pillaged, murdered and sent millions of ethnic Germans to die in forced labor/starvation camps in Russia. He glosses over this and tries to divert attention from it by saying they were expelled west by boxcar. Ethnic Germans would’ve rather died in overcrowded boxcars going west than being forced to go to Russia. Ethnic Germans were not allowed to leave until 1946 or even later. Many of ethnic Germans walked out of the Eastern European countries when they were finally allowed to leave by expulsion, or by escape. They wouldn’t have had to expel them, millions of ethnic Germans wanted desperately to leave to go WEST. Not until the Potsdam Agreement in 1946 were the ethnic Germans expelled to go west, before then expulsion was to the EAST to Drago’s Russia.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ৯:১৫ PM
Inga বলেছেন...: “Transfers of population under the Potsdam agreements lasted from January until October 1946. 1.9 million ethnic Germans were expelled to the American zone, part of what would become West Germany. More than 1 million were expelled to the Soviet zone, which later became East Germany.”

But we all get it. Anything to keep your russia collusion lies alive, eh "mindreader"?; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১০:১২ PM
Mr. Majestyk বলেছেন...: I listened to a bit of Mark Levin's show tonight. I didn't realize what a frothing-at-the-mouth supporter of the Ukraine War he is. His reasons? Russia is doing a lot of horrible things to Ukrainian civilians. He described a lot of gruesome things and said people hadn't heard of them in the media, but that he had done some digging and had come upon his info from reliable sources. Guess who? Unnamed "intelligence officials and experts." After all the lies we've heard from intelligence officials and "experts," I thought it was odd he placed so much faith in them on this issue. Also, it seems unlikely that the Biden cheerleaders in the media would cover up info that makes Russia look bad.

In any case, if "horrible things" were the standard for US involvement in foreign wars, we'd be involved in conflicts all over the world. Levin also seems to accept the Domino theory -- if Ukraine falls, so will Poland, Romania, the Baltic States etc. This seems ridiculous, since they are NATO members, so an attack on any of them would result in a war with all of NATO. And Russia is having trouble with just Ukraine.

Of course, the Russian government is horrible, but that doesn't mean it's in our national interest to risk WWIII with them.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১০:২২ PM
n.n বলেছেন...: The very people helped by the Russians when the first Kiev regime denied essential services to the people in Crimea.

The very children left as orphans by Zelensky's apartheid regime and military/paramilitary aligned axis assault on Ukrainians.

Fortunately, hopefully, the Russians are not a model of UN peacekeepers.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১০:২২ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: Russia Collusion Truther and Hillary/FBI Hoax Dossier Dead Ender Inga: "Ethnic Germans would’ve rather died in overcrowded boxcars going west than being forced to go to Russia."

Wow!!!!!!!

Just as you defended MS13 machete murderers and islamic terrorists (Inga routinely blames western Christians for islamic supremacist terrorist activities, you are really going to defend the mass killing of ethnic germans who were sent west after WW2? Why? Because those that killed the ethnic Germans weren't russkis?

Thats a "distinction" without a difference in the grave.

I really shouldn't be surprised of course. Inga was wholeheartedly in favor of tossing her fellow citizens into covid internment camps for being smarter than she was regarding mask effectiveness and the efficacy and safety of the non-vaccine gene therapy shots.

How low can Inga go?

We apparently have quite a way to go.; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১০:২৫ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: "Cut and Paste" Inga is back and thinks she can "bury" (all puns intended) how many ethnic Germans were killed as they were sent West after WW2.

According to Inga, those killings of men, women and children dont count just because the russkis killed more.

Let that fact sink in.....; ১৭/৩/২৩, ১০:৫৯ PM
Inga বলেছেন...: Drago seems to want to convince people that ethnic Germans after WW2 were forced west and really wanted to stay put or go east. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ethnic Germans knew they had no chance at life in the east. They were being killed and starved and they knew that to go west was their only hope.

Why does Drago want people to think that ethnic Germans wanted to stay in the east? Why does Drago continue to try to sully the west’s reputation and protect Russia when it comes to deportation of of populations? I’ve long suspected Drago as being some Moscow trained propagandist. The way he is skewing what really happened after WW2 to ethnic Germans is telling.; ১৮/৩/২৩, ৭:১৪ AM
