    "No, you didn't break up with us, we broke up with you!"

    Russia quit the UN Human Rights Council moments after being suspended for atrocities in Ukraine
    • The UN suspended Russia from its Human Rights Council on Thursday over atrocities in Ukraine.
    • Shortly after the vote, Russia's UN ambassador said it was quitting the council entirely.
    • Zelenskyy has since called on the UN to expel Russia from the Security Council, where it has veto power.

    I'm sure Putin will claim the above pictures were staged.

    I don't think I've ever wanted a 'dislike' button more than right now... The post absolutely deserves acknowledgement. But I can't force myself to click 'Like' on that post....

    At first, I felt some sympathy for the Russian troops being forced to fight in a war they CLAIMED they wanted no part of. But we keep seeing the atrocities and genocide the Russian troops are committing and they can all go to hell.

    They are choosing to do this. That's on them.

    Agreed. Any Russian troops engaging on behalf of Russia at this point are complicit at the very least.

    The only honorable solution for Russian troops is to defect and help Ukraine fight against Putin. There will never be a better opportunity for the people to take that country back than right now.

    Take it back? When did the Russian people ever have their country?

    They at least had a chance at it before Putin... But he took over all of the media not long after he took power and it was over.

    The remains of a missile that struck the train station in Ukraine was painted with the words, for the children, in Russian.

    I read about that. How tragic and sick. I wish someone would just off Putin. I really do. Everyone hates him. Even his own people.

    Hate him? If so, it doesn't seem to stop them from murdering Ukrainians to feed his bloated ego and twisted fantasies.

    Not everyone hates him. Tucker Carlson. Trump. Tulsi Gabbard.

    Unfortunately, not true. He has his highest approval rating ever recently, above 80%.
