The United States is formally accusing Russia of committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine as the country's brutal assault on its neighboring nation approaches its one-year mark, Vice President Kamala Harris announced Saturday.
“In the case of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, we have examined the evidence, we know the legal standards, and there is no doubt,” Harris said in an address at the Munich Security Conference. “These are crimes against humanity.”
The vice president named gruesome acts of torture and rape, “execution-style” killings and the forcible deportation of thousands from Ukraine, including children, as evidence of a “widespread and systemic attack against a civilian population.”

Like the USA did in Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc
Actually those were general war crimes. Crimes against humanity are a different class. In western legal systems intent is an inlmportant indicator. So you’d need to prove the US was trying to irradiated those groups of people. If you have that evidence though I would gladly walk back my comment, but I really don’t think anyone can. Not because they didn’t but because they covered their crimes well.
3 words pause 3 words pause 3 words pause 3 words pause.
LMFAOOOO
What about China right now with the Muslim community
I just want to die when she speaks. Lord, have mercy on all of us.
I just want to die when I see your comments.
Do it then
We have all just become dummer.
😂😂😂😂
dumber*
I don’t understand you may want to slow down your speaking to fast 😂😂😂
She needs to be able to hear the person in her ear feeding her what to say. 🤷♂️
But what she not telling you that the president of Ukraine was killing his own people
She may be moving her mouth but all I hear is noise.. bla bla bla
where’s a falling piano when you need one.
Is she only capable of saying two or three words at a time or something?
She’s speaking at an International conference where the translators have begged the speakers to slow down, (that will ensure accurate translations to the non English speakers), because they have to translate on the fly. They’re not given prior access to the written speeches! If you think it’s easy to translate, you’ve never tried.
@Ruth Slone oh like the sign language people…
She rehearsed that all night, like she actually cares. She’s more concerned about the way her hair looks and if she picked the right wallpaper in her office.
No she didn’t haha!! She clearly has someone in her ear feeding her every single word.

We can all thank Willie Brown for letting kamala sleep her way to the top
Always back to accusing their opponents of what they are doing. Alinsky tactics.
Russia Laughing
U all did, Switzerland trial,they be coming
America can only hope that both Harris and Biden won’t be allowed to come back breathing from Europe.
America might stand a chance if that happened.
Awk don’t act like Joe bidan and his cronies aren’t making a packet off the war 🤣🥱. Yeh yeh
