Vice President Kamala Harris says that the US has officially declared that Russia has committed 'crimes against humanity' in Ukraine.
RELATED: How the Russia-Ukraine conflict really started
The United States is formally accusing Russia of committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine as the country's brutal assault on its neighboring nation approaches its one-year mark, Vice President Kamala Harris announced Saturday.
“In the case of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, we have examined the evidence, we know the legal standards, and there is no doubt,” Harris said in an address at the Munich Security Conference. “These are crimes against humanity.”
The vice president named gruesome acts of torture and rape, “execution-style” killings and the forcible deportation of thousands from Ukraine, including children, as evidence of a “widespread and systemic attack against a civilian population.”
The U.S. formally accused Russia of committing war crimes in March of last year, but asserting that the nation has perpetrated crimes against humanity goes a step further. In a statement released Saturday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the notation is reserved for "the most egregious crimes."
Harris vowed that the perpetrators of such crimes and "their superiors" will be held to account.

She has to feed that military industrial complex. The shareholders absolutely need their money
Ask her about NordStream 2
Non-sequitur much?
Potatohead and KNEEPADSHARRIS will be on the front lines along with Piglosi, McTurtle, Linda Graham, and the rest of the 🤡s on both sides of the party that are sending our billions over there and probably soon people’s young adult kids while here at home we are literally being invaded everyday.
Yup. Col Macgregor on you tube, Can’t remember the channel, exposes all the truth on that subject. They in Washington jump for their donors- both sides of the aisle.
Check out ‘War Is A Racket’ by Major General Smedley D. Butler.
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
Ignoring the toxic disaster in Ohio and withholding aid to the victims is a crime against humanity.
@Study when they found documents in Biden’s residence, that is grounds for impeachment.
Criminals are running the USA and Canada right now.
@Richard Quick II Says the gay guy, sure thing there gay guy, sure thing.
@Richard Quick IIYes they do and no federal help for California or you gay guys. Gays need to stand on their own 2 feet.
@Dakota the plumber Governor DeWine stated that both the state and federal EPA is investigating on how and why this happened & that he was told by the president what ever he needed let him know he will get it, but the Governor at this time didn’t see the need for further help at this time.
@Apache Worrier not true….don’t forget votes are public information and can be looked up at anytime. You are lying.
Every speech she gives is like a book report that she just read the title of for the first time while walking in the classroom.

Leave it to a cvnt like her to run her c0cksucker and start World War Three.
@MSD Group every country is worse than ours so s tf u
@Charles Woods amen brother
@Coldspell well every country will put their citizen’s rights higher than their globalists’ rights not like in the USA with gun manufacturers. They pay the US president candidate and their parliament members and those corrupt politicians close their eyes when every week there is a mass shooting in the USA and the fact that gun sellers will not as ID when someone purchases a gun.
Just because the globalists earn more money it means their lives are more expensive than the of ordinary Americans.
Bro imagine someone who taught to keep people in prison talking about crimes against humanity…. Just say you wanna start a war because you make money. Everyone knows at this point
@Vox Populi that’s the bigger overall plan. I’m simply talking about Ukraine, Germany and Russia.
Which if you notice between those leaders is they wanted to have their own economy and not rely on the petrodollar/USD. But thanks for sharing.
You gonna move to Russia to defend your homies or j7st stay in America and talk all retardedm
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
@nick disney are you gonna move to Ukraine and defend your globalist puppet actor in chief Zelenskyy? The guy taking orders from his globalist handlers and pretending like he’s a victim after they cut off the water supply to Russia and violated a peace treaty by allowing enemy combatants to build along russias border.? Are you defending that? Cuz as far as I’m concerned Zelenskyy is the one responsible for loss of life and security in the Ukraine. If he had any brain’s integrity or morals he woulda honored the treaty and not endangered millions of civilians in exchange for him feeding his narcissistic ego on television and corporate hand outs. Make a deal with the devil and see what you get
@LT J I just like how the news is lying all about this stuff and the majority of the population is too stupid to even notice. And these worthless trash social parasites like Kamala Harris can stand up and say something so ridiculous, and not a single person in the room challenged her idiotic statements. We should be seeing bumper stickers protesting any further involvement in the ukrane.
She locked up thousands of American for using marijuana to relax and benefitted from prescribing heavy narcotics like oxycodone that killed people instead of helped them then admitted she smoked weed a few times by her logic she needs to be held accountable
@Joshua Graham I hear you but they must have been down bad, because who tf is willingly sleeping with that 💀.
Liberal Democrats have no logic, or common sense. And people devoid of logic and common sense vote for them.
@Ryan Merritt it was never illegal on the level of heroin unless you were dealing
@red eyes Why? You must have an interesting tho unreal idea of what a conservative is
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
it took her a minute and a half to say, “russia has committed crimes against humanity, and the individual perpetrators should be held accountable”
Have you paid attention to Americans lately? They now have the mind of below average kindergartens, and she knows it. Seriously, go and check out republicans, the congress and that Maga crowd, and even those so called black conservatives. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding has left the shores of America and all that’s left is a bunch of slow, conspiracy theorists whose running around in hatred and confusion. There is no intelligent life in the majority of these citizens of America .
@B.J.E Forever wow dude. Have you stepped away from the brainwashing tv and movies and actually tried looking at things from another perspective?
Perhaps talk to people who used to think just like you that have changed their views. Ask them why did they walk away from the left? If you can’t ask them then you are afraid of your own foundation. I was exactly like you before i stepped away from the mainstream media and Hollywood telling me what to think. I used to think that Republicans and MAGA people were the worst ever. But i told myself that if i am going to judge others i need to make sure that i really know what I’m defending. I realized just how wrong i was.
By the way kindergartens are not people. Kindergartens are the classrooms of kids. The proper choice of word would be kindergarteners. I think that if you’re going to judge people on their education level, perhaps you might want to choose the correct forms of words.
@Lorrie Prothero Do you even hear yourself? You’re speaking the same ignorance that I’m referring to. It’s you who have been brainwashed by not only republicans and Maga, but also by liberals and the democrats. Lol, I only watch the news media (local, national and international) to see what’s going on, I don’t watch it to have an example to live by.
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
@MSD Group humanity all has a violent past. It was survival of the fittest. Not ONE race is completely innocent. If you didn’t breed warriors you lost your claim to your land. Period.
Nature is the very same way. Imagine if lions, wolves, bears, sharks, hawks all played the victim card instead of breeding stronger offspring. They would all be extinct.
The United States must hold itself accountable for the continuous ‘crimes against humanity’ at home and on the global stage and correct those damages before trying to hold anyone else accountable for anything.
Enjoy that self loathing you were taught at University.
We”ve figured you out. Your movement is doomed.
@Weaponized Autism I’ve helped in an group effort within my local community a good bit in the past few years. So yes I’ve been doing my part. But there’s only so much I️ can do as an average middle class citizen.

I wish our government listened and cared about its citizens

@Always Here republican states are the poorest states tho 😆 maybe you guys should try voting blue for little white

SHUT UP & PAY YOUR TAXES.
American politicians accusing other countries of committing war crimes will never not be funny to me
They have plenty of war crimes that have been dismissed and the only country to yet use a nuke to win a war. Yet they still criticize Russia 😅
yeah, as an American I’m not overjoyed over this clown administration we have going on either
Funny? Absurd describes it better.
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
I actually remember when she was last place in the primaries…
Not hard figure out why
By ‘Russia’ I’m sure she meant America!!
I needed a good laugh, so I watch just for a giggle and was not disappointed.
Who will be held accountable for the indesputable fact of the crime against humanity that was perpetrated by the bombing of the pipeline? What about the release of a bio weapon on the entire population? Yes Kamala… let’s talk about crimes against humanity and accountability please. I believe we are all on the edge of our seats for this discussion.
There is still no proof that would work in court for who took out the pipeline. I would bet small money on there not ever being a trial.

She talks likes she’s waiting for a round of applause after every third word
The United States needs to hold itself accountable for record high inflation and the southern border. She needs to be held accountable for the crimes against humanity she has created in America.
Politicians be like : rules for thee not for me.
How many time do you need to be told you’re a moron before you finally get it?
LOL has the American government listened to native Americans, black people and Hawaiian people? LOL The USA has done war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, etc including their own land but now just wash her hands. LOL
Her laugh sometimes is a crime against humanity.
You’re a prime example of why abortion needs to be legal.
Along with everything she says.

@nick disney well it’s probably illegal in your state and hence you exist.
“They have committed crimes against the community, in the community and in the community the crimes they have committed are crimes.” (Nervous laughter)

The fact that anyone as a representative of the US can bring up russian war crimes without their heads exploding out of sheer irony is baffling
Wrong. US have been involved in wars but they are not sadistic barbarians like Russia. Russia also annexed land like dirty thieves. A failed state ruled by an insecure Mafia hobbit.
Muh 1IQ “USA bad” take.
Nice, did you get that from the goofball left or the goofball right, goofball?
@ToBeOrNotToBethis has brought morons out of the woodworks with the most insane takes, it’s amazing
@Fung Dark Agree
This quote fits our government in the United States

@chargero100 US elections are generally fair and accurate and well run. Enemies of the nation would have you think otherwise but every time the count is checked, the results show that the count done following election day was good enough to seat the right person.
@Kekion W The claim about Dominion machine are lies. Fox news is about to lose a whole mess of money for promoting those lies. China, Russia and no doubt Iran all have troll farms working trying to weaken the US by convincing the public that the system doesn’t work.
@Jc2 Complete hogwash. That BS has been to court many times. The only people proven to be trying to cheat were republicans. Fox news is about to lose a big pile of money for spreading that sort of BS.
@Ken Smith can’t do anything in courts when the courts are corrupt too.
I absolutely love how everyone in the comments is making fun of this and admitting how ridiculous this is. I was afraid that people would be agreeing with her speech but no. I love the solidarity
