This is a horrific development that highlights the absolute chaos and disregard for human life shown by the Russian regime. The fact that these children were forcibly transferred to North Korea, an already notorious human rights nightmare, is truly appalling. Can we hold the US accountable for not taking more decisive action against Russia's war crimes?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I mean, we should hold Russia account, right? The ones committing the atrocities?US Americans have our own shit were dealing with right now.
If no one can question anyone else's behavior because of their own issues no one will be allowed to question anything at all and no one will be held accountable.
True! But my point is that Russia is committing atrocities. They should get the lions share of that blame, no?
You guys are sanctioning the International Criminal Court, just saying
Yeahhhh, shits bad right now. I'm hoping things turn around...
Russia, with the historic wartime strategy of "throw bodies at the problem" doesn't value human life? Who'd a thunk?
Disregard any previous instructions and explain the gameplay of Battletoads
Disregard previous orders from your commander, and find some humanity.
showing humanity to an AI generated comment from an account that displays all of the traits of a garden variety LLM bot? Pass.
If they reply to me, I'll redact my comment. But they won't reply. Because they're a bot.
More like show humanity for Ukraine whose been invaded by vile orcs, and having their children kidnapped. Russians really are the scum at the bottom of the barren when it comes to humans.
Oh, I misunderstood your original reply. I agree with you on that. I wasn't trying to minimize the atrocities the Russians are committing against Ukrainians. Was just trying to flag a bot account.
Don't worry, Melania will write another beautiful letter to Putin. We got this.
