First few paragraphs...

Jan. 5, 2023

KHERSON, Ukraine — On her eighth or ninth day in Russian detention, Olha, a 26-year-old Ukrainian, was tied to a table, naked to the waist. For 15 minutes, her interrogator leveled obscenities at her, then threw a jacket over her and let seven other men into the room.

“It was to frighten,” she remembered. “I did not know what would come next.”

Sitting in Olha’s cramped kitchen weeks later in Kherson, in southern Ukraine, Anna Sosonska, an investigator with the prosecutor general’s office, listened to her recount the ordeal — an account of forced nudity that, prosecutors say, added to an accumulation of evidence that Russian forces had used sexual crimes as a weapon of war in the places they once ruled.

“We are finding this problem of sexual violence in every place that Russia occupied,” said Ms. Sosonska, 33. “Every place: Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, Kharkiv region, Donetsk region and also here in Kherson region.”

Summary... Carmine supports Russian rapists.

NY Times is propaganda.

Now the facts.

Claims were investigated by UN and no evidence found to support them.

I already posted this

Defending rapists. You’ve reached a new low. Your family must be proud.

When your source counts like this, it's easy to come up with with a wildly inflated number that has no bearing on reality.

Afghanistan
The U.S. is responsible for between 1 and 1.8 million deaths during the war between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, by luring the Soviet Union into invading that nation.

Cambodia
Immense damage was done to the villages and cities of Cambodia, causing refugees and internal displacement of the population. This unstable situation enabled the Khmer Rouge, a small political party led by Pol Pot, to assume power. So the U.S. bears responsibility not only for the deaths from the bombings but also for those resulting from the activities of the Khmer Rouge – a total of about 2.5 million people.

N.B. By this logic, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan led to the rise of the Mujahideen, which enabled the rise of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban, therefore all deaths from the War on Terror are because of the Soviet Union.

Now, a question for ceccione...

How many have been killed in other countries (terrorism) by America since Jan. 1, 2022? A few hundred.

How many have been killed by Russia in Ukraine since Jan. 1, 2022? A few hundred thousand.

Shouldn't we deal with the immediate crisis first? You're worried about the cancer that's going to kill you in 10 years, while hemorrhaging from your neck.

No. You didn't. That's not what was posted at all. Reading isn't your strong suit, is it. Maybe if somebody made a video for you...

In a March 2022 piece for the Salon website, Hedges wrote that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "a criminal war of aggression".

Hedges called for an immediate ceasefire and "the withdrawal of Russian troops from the country."

He further added that the invasion was "stoked in part by NATO expansion beyond the borders of a unified Germany violating promises made to Moscow at the end of the Cold War --> but this is shown to be a misinterpretation of what was promised. What WAS promised was that NATO would not expanding into East Germany.

In his 2022 book The Greatest Evil is War, Hedges writes:

...including the promise by Washington not to extend NATO beyond the borders of a unified Germany... <-- but this is false.

The invasion of Ukraine, under post-Nuremberg laws, is a criminal war of aggression.

So, your source says Russia should withdraw immediately because it's committing a criminal war of aggression. Maybe Russia should listen.

Some of your pro-Russian wingnuts should step back and review what you have posted, then ask yourselves if maybe you really are the wingnuts that the rest of society says you are. The above post would be a great time for such reflection/introspection.

In any case, now that we know more of Russia's military capabilities, we can speculate that the British Virgin Island naval reserve, maybe with a little help from the Bahamas, could sail to the Black Sea and sink the rest of the Russian fleet there stationed there. The BVI-Russo war will not go the way you think it will, Cold Warrior.

Sure I did.

UN investigated the allegations and found no evidence to support them.

Go back and read again

Did you call for NATO/USA to withdraw from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan?

Yeah, that's not what the article you posted said.

Okay... is it from this part of the article?

And, if not, please provide the quote that supports your claim that the "UN investigated the allegations and found no evidence to support them."

I seriously hope you're not posting a Clayton Morris as evidence of anything, other than that you've been brainwashed.

No evidence.

The UN special representative on sexual violence, Pramila Patten admitted she possesses no solid evidence to substantiate rape accusations against Russia,

Rapes and sexual assaults attributed to Moscow's forces in Ukraine are part of a Russian "military strategy" and a "deliberate tactic to dehumanise the victims", UN envoy Pramila Patten had told AFP in an interview last month.

“This is the information, which I got when I was in Kyiv on May 3 from survivors and service providers,” she can be heard saying in a video published by the Russian prankster duo on Thursday, according to RT.
Vovan and Lexus posed as Aleksandr Merezhko, the head of the Ukrainian parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee. According to Patten, the “service providers” who reported this information to her were carrying out “door-to-door” enquiries and were “referring to Mariupol”.
The Azov Sea port city of Mariupol was already largely controlled by Russian forces in early May, with Ukrainian troops holed up at the Azovstal steel plant.
Patten also insisted that this information was relayed to her in the presence of Ukraine’s European integration minister, Olga Stefanishina.
When asked by the pranksters whether she was provided with any evidence to substantiate these reports, Patten said it was “not her job” to conduct investigations, adding that she was just “sitting in New York” and providing “strategic leadership”.
The United Nations has verified "more than a hundred cases" of rape or sexual assaults in Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, Patten had said, referring to a UN report released in late September.
The report "confirmed crimes against humanity committed by the Russian forces, and according to gathered testimonies, the age of the victims of sexual violence ranges from four to 82-years-old," she said.
The victims are mostly women and girls, but also men and boys, she added.
