#USSR authorities:
- executed >600k people for political reasons only during Stalin's rule, most of them in extrajudicial manner without any fair trial (btw in a way directly prohibited by #Soviet constitution).
- built #gulag, where incarcerated more than million people in various years, in particular for political reasons.
- plotted 3 artificial #famine s - with millions of people killed. The 2nd one in #Ukraine (1932-33) - with clear signs of premeditated genocide.
- forcibly expelled a number of ethnic groups (#CrimeanTatars, #Chechens, Soviet #Germans just to name a few) to distant regions of USSR, often into not inhabitable conditions, with fatalities reaching dozens of percents.
- Initiated aggressive wars against #Finland and #Poland (the latter twice, 2nd time together with #NaziGermany), annexed #Baltic states and part of #Romania.
- Performed mass execution of #Polish #PoWs (#Katyn massacre).
- Performed systematic persecutions of people with foreign origin falsely charging them in espionage, which typically led to execution (ironically, Soviets were murdering refugee members of #Communist Party of #Germany to a not so much lesser extent as the #Nazis).I've named only the most prominent fuck I am talking about.

Israel has expanded a blanket ban on Red Cross access to Palestinian captives despite a High Court decision declaring it unlawful.
Israel Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi last week imposed new restrictions that significantly limit access for the humanitarian group.
The new regulations prevent them from visiting certain categories of Palestinians under any circumstances.
This includes those the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) classifies as "highly violent", as well as captives held in solitary confinement or under interrogation.
Visits otherwise are limited to 30 minutes, with prison commanders able to cut meetings short at their leisure.
The moves defies a High Court of Justice ruling last month that ordered the state to resume Red Cross visits after a previous ban was imposed in the wake of the 7 October attacks in southern Israel in 2023.

I hate sharing anything from Qalibaf that I remember personally from 1980s horrors.
But sadly he is telling the truth, much more often than the orange shitler.
US has asked Iran for help rescuing their pilot and "threat him in accordance to international laws".
The sad part is US and EU designated IRGC as a terrorist organization, German chanslor proudly announced that international laws don't apply to Iran. But the terrorists are expected to follow the laws that don't apply to them if they capture the American pilot.
It's perfectly logical, isn't it?
PS. I would love to see a reporter asking Shulz about this issue

Once the Russian war criminals have been driven out of Ukraine and the Russian state has been economically destroyed, it will be very, very difficult for the rest of the world to deal with these completely dehumanized and brainwashed people.
43% of Russian POWs rated Ukrainians as less than fully human — and Kremlin propaganda explains why
" The more a captured Russian soldier believed Kremlin narratives, the more likely he was to dehumanize Ukrainians on a validated scientific scale — a finding researchers say helps build the legal case against Russia’s propagandists as abettors of aggression. "
