The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday night to call for an investigation of war crimes committed during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Six House Republicans voted against the measure.

“We rise today not as Republicans, Democrats, but as Americans, as a united Congress on behalf of the American people condemning these atrocities,” said Representative Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas and the co-author of the bill.

The six Republicans who opposed the legislation did not immediately explain their votes, but nearly all of them were members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus and have argued against interventionist foreign policy.

It will be interesting when Putin outs all the disgusting vermin in DC that have their hands in the cookie jar of corruption. Hence the current effort to label everything “Russian disinformation.”

Only 1 person went to prison over My Lai, and even he got out early. He who is without sin in the war crimes area might be able to throw stones at Russia. But the U.S isn’t one of them

Am tracking Victoria Nuland - apparently she is steering this war from the U.S. side and dominating members of the EU on her tour this week . After her visit with Greece Greece pulled away from Russia.

When she's on the move nothing good comes of it - I suspect she's also busy determining the selections for Ukraines goveernment like she did in 2014.

Well she is Ukrainian, so you couldn’t expect anything other than being Ukraine’s de facto leader. In the shadows of course. Zelenksy obviously doesn’t want to be Russia’s puppet. But he is happy to be an EU and U.S puppet. Is he that naive that he thinks all the support comes without strings

I’d like to see a list of all the Uke immigrants and kids of Ukes in our government. Vindman, Nuland, Yovanovitch, etc...
