Hmmmm… Interesting…. Iraq, Serbia, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan may have a bone to pick with the US…. I personally experienced the US and nato bombing children's hospitals, schools, maternity wards, bridges, radio stations, civilian passenger trains, refugees on tractors, residential areas, random villages and all sorts of other "military" targets in Serbia. Even used depleted uranium, phosphorous and cluster bombs. I cannot wait till NBC comes after the US politicians…
Putin should have a Nuremberg Trial to expose his bloody immoral War Crimes!
Are the Russian citizens, ignorant as they are, in any way prepared to remove the madman tyrant? As it rattles a nuke arsenal, are they focused on the glass parking lot Moscow would become? Asking for a planet.

WHAT ABOUT USA is WAR CRIMINAL ? Heroshima ? Vietnam ? Iraq ? Guatemala ? Iraq ? Afganistnan ? Libya ? SYRIA ?
what do you think about this video about a real cowboy of war – https://youtu.be/bOQc7dEdBP8 ?
All this talk about war crimes is nice and all, but will it ever lead to anything? If putin just stays in russia, he will never be extradited to face the crimes. I feel like this whole thing is more just symbolic than anything, but i know little of how these proceedings go.

Yeah great. 🙄 US is in no position to call anyone else a war criminal when you yourself is the war criminal yourself. If you can bring Clinton, Bush, Obama and sure this Biden as the war criminal under the system NOT created/governed by the US and the West for their sheer convenience, then let’s talk about bringing Putin too. Only fair. It appears to the people in the rest of the world as the US is just playing a stupid game which is killing Ukrainian and victimizing Russian civilians via economic sanctions. This is a joke to us. And Ukrainians are not that innocent and that clown Zelensky using his people as a human shield by forcing the civilians with no training to carry weapons and be targeted is also a war criminal in so many peoples eyes. Conveniently, International Court is created and placed by the West. Yeah this is a joke. We don’t have problems with Russia. We never have. Only you guys have problems. And stop creating proxy war for your sheer profit. Disgusting.
When dealing with CCP hooligans, it is not what he says, but what he is doing secretly. From his internal propaganda, you know what he wants? What does he want to do? External publicity is basically to fool the international community to hide what he wants to do.
Equal qqq
So where were you for the last eight freaking years while Ukraine forces shelled the eastern half of Ukraine? Years of European news clips are on YouTube. Ukraine is no good guy. That government should be brought up on war crimes.
from 2014 the paramilitary Ukrainian groups of AZOV and Pravyi Sektor have been bombing civilians in Donetsk (14000 civilian casualties) and the Ukrainians denied it as well so can't believe anyone.
Criminals….Diaper Donnie and Putthead! So sad nobody is on their side…..reason why they will NEVER succeed!

Ukraine and the deep state are in a desperate position and likely to create a false-flag chemical weapons attack and blame the Russians in order to gain international support for engaging in any action they see fit. The media is already feeding the American people the predictive programming to make them beIieve that the Russians doing this is an inevitability.
War crimes should also be on US and allies committed in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
Lollllllllllllllll, irony and hypocrisy to the extreme
How are we not roasting this president like we did the last one .
Russia is responsible for the suffering of millions of innocent people.
It doesnt matter what happens now. The world is weak and won't help Ukraine because they are afraid of putin and his nuclear capabilities. Humans are pathetic.
Putin is above the law
war crimes? so bombing civilians in Iraq was just an accident? Hypocrites!!! Massive destruction weapons my a$$
PUTIN'S will accept the War Crime Charges when he pushes the red button for Hypersonic nuke missiles over the WhiteHouse 😂🤣😂🤣
Russian Federation became Terrorists under Putin's regime. Russian people should do something to stop this evil acts. Rather than just waiting, Russian people should take the courage to stand on what is right, not to turn their eyes blind for the truth. Russian has mimllions of population, while putin and his cronies are just few.
Putin’s propaganda speeches saying he wouldn’t invade Ukraine and blaming NATO and America for spreading fake news. Then when Putin invaded Ukraine he blamed NATO and America and said that this was because Russia feels threaten by the peaceful Ukrainians joining NATO against his order. Putin said that he wouldn’t bomb innocent Ukrainian civilians, including children, and that that Russia is avoiding hitting civilians then he bombed civilians areas with no military installations. Putin is a dictator who can’t be trusted by the world. Because of Putin, Russia is becoming a pariah in the world.
If you can find Putin ?
War, is a war crime.. maybe humans should consider it as such!
nBC is in deeper trouble than Russia
nato needs to step in how can we sleep knowing. i know about the wwIII worries. but i already think its begun
The British Are Posting Their Ukrainians Are Training In Schools On Weapons That's Uncivilized
To those commenting that Putin is getting closer to nuclear button against US, remember, US is no pushover. Push few buttons and we can turn Russia into a parking lot. And they know that. Also, we're learning that Russia hasn't been maintaining their military capability because of all the corruption and money being skimmed by the oligarchs. I'm giving 2 to 1 odds that if Russia pushes the button, nothing is going to happen.
