1. Putin is literally running out of people, so he has to steal them.

It's horrifying for all involved.

13. It takes many years to grow a soldier

I don't think Putin/Russia has that long. I think they'll be asking for peace long before those children grow up.

I just hope the kids have someone to go home to and that they haven't been brainwashed too thoroughly.

3. The US' Demanding That Kidnapped Children Be Returned To Their Parents: The Irony.

The hideous, disgusting, evil irony.

6. trump continues to bring great shame upon this country

Yes, Ukrainian children need to be returned to Ukraine forthwith. I'm just afraid the very young ones when taken will not remember their parents at all.

7. Thank you. I was going to say something like this, but you have beaten me to it. Well done! (n/t)

8. Yes, it's ironic, but the majority of Americans don't approve of the detentions, and deportations

So I'm glad they're saying something

9. But to be precise for a second: Neither "detentions" nor "deportations....."

were my topic.

The kidnapped children were not part of either; they were flown to unknown parts and deposited with untracked entities, purportedly "families," but we ARE speaking of a CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER HERE.

4. The genocide nobody talks about

Yes, forcibly relocating children is a form of genocide.

5. War crimes

Arrest warrants

On 17 March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Putin and Lvova-Belova, alleging criminal responsibility for the unlawful deportation and transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia.[81][82][83][84][85] It decided that they are covered by articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and article 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute and intended by Russia as permanent.[85] The charges carry a potential life sentence.[83] It is the first time the court has issued an arrest warrant against the leader of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.[82] ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said, "We must ensure that those responsible for alleged crimes are held accountable and that children are returned to their families and communities. We cannot allow children to be treated as if they are the spoils of war."[83]

10. I think this means that Ukraine has the upper hand.

Good.

11. Oh, you're right! Extra tired today....

Heinous actions! I forgot about that part of Putin's war criminality towards Ukraine!

( Half 2nd Gen Ukrainian-American but don't know if I have distant relatives there. But I despise Putin even if I had no kind of connection )
