If the US actively states that they will not follow the rules of engagement, that they will go against every convention to prevent abuse of prisoners, that they will act as street fighters rather than soldiers, can they be trusted in any international military training or operation?

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

This.

ICE must be forced by courts to release the names *and current locations* of EVERY child in custody so their welfare can be substantiated. No child under 15 should ever be separated from their parent(s) without a court hearing that their parents are a danger to them, and a safe placement found.

So, when Trump pardons all these fraudsters, does this mean that they no longer have to pay restitution to their victims?
I'm guessing they don't.

Remember when Vinay Prasad was demanding impossibly high standards of evidence for things like masks and vaccines? But now he accepts the absolute lowest standards of evidence (VAERS observations) to attack vaccines. Interesting, no? It's almost like it was never about evidence.

Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates.

The only way he avoids a murder trial is if there are too many to prosecute.
That's why he needs a war on JAG.

Stephen Harper is who my UCP got to head up AIMCo and “fix” all the problems after losing $2 BILLION pension dollars.
Coincidentally: Harper also sold out Canada!
That’s why we need to restrict Albertans from suing AIMCo for losses!
