what loots did they haul?
Cabbage?
The Ukraine customs have found Ukranians diplomats crossing the border with suitcases of US cash,in millions.
Hindsight is always 20/20,is it worth joining NATO?

Maybe there should be a War crimes court held on Putin and if found Guilty, a Billion dollars of Russian asets should be put on his head dead or alive. When the free world is confronted with un questionable genocide such as what the world is seeing, you should treat it with the utmost decisive action available. The Geneva convention be damned. This should be a time to make an example of this murderer. Instead the west will play name calling patty cake with this jerk while innocent families are slaughtered and displaced. Puttin must be killed and anyone who follows in his foot steps who would follow his lead. Either we have a safe & more or less free world or we don't. My Ukrainian Father fought the Bolsheviks in a Lt. Wehrmacht uniform and then defected to the UPA (Ukrainian Partisan Army) and fought them in the Carpathians untill the end of WWII hostilities. Americans have No Idea what the Communist system is. Evil is the only label that fits. President Reagan knew this all too well, but it has been lost on the American public as well as western Europe as soon as they could turn a buck on cheap Russian oil.

I agree!

Great! As an USA citizen, are you ready to pay for the rebuild of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan?

Well, considering all the posts Russia losing the war, do you really think Russia soldiers are leaving the frontlines to bring trinkets home?

Ha ha..... What do you think would be scurring out of DC in suitcases if Maryland was invaded by a superior force? You folks dont seem to understand the Russian Government pulled all the rotten business strings in the Ukraine for 7 decades! The Russian Mafia would make the Italian ones look like boy scouts.

Well, my Polish relatives living in the Ukraine fled the UPA at the end of WWII. Lucky, they weren't the Poles killed by the UPA's genocide.

And, you know Communist is gone from Russia, right? All the complains made about Russian Oligarchs, the capitalists running Russia.

What you are seeing is war - the same war the Iraqi lived under when USA invaded. It's all the same.

Frankly, maybe we should bring George W. Bush up for war crimes. Why not? Putin isn't any different from Bush.

Good point. George Bush and his crew started a war that sent hundreds of thousands of people to their grave, yet he gets to retire in his Highland Park mansion, keep his wealth, and make public appearances at baseball games. Go figure.

How telling, you think Ukrainians have naught but cabbage.

Care to post a link to some credible source about these diplomats crossing the border with suitcases of millions of US dollars being caught by Ukrainian customs? Because I only heard about someone's wife, and she was actually found by Hungarian customs. Care to elaborate what exactly you are talking about?

Repeating the same propaganda and lies ad nauseum. Do Russian propagandists have any other tools? Your relatives live somewhere in Russia, comrade, they are foaming at the mouth with blood thirst and praise der Putin while slapping Z swastika on every surface they can find.

In January, the head of a group of serving and retired Russian military officers declared that invading Ukraine would be “pointless and extremely dangerous.” It would kill thousands, he said, make Russians and Ukrainians enemies for life, risk a war with NATO and threaten “the existence of Russia itself as a state.”
Interesting, that it had been discussed in advance, but the advice was ignored. Now, with new, even more austere, censorship laws in place as of this week, the same people respond to reporters that they cannot give their opinion without running afoul of the law.
