Don't cherry-pick from report
Atrocities committed by both sides in a horrible
civil war

GENEVA/KYIV (14 July 2016) – A new UN report released Thursday describes the widespread killings that have taken place in Ukraine since January 2014 and highlights the very limited accountability that has taken place.

The report, which was prepared by the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine*, states that the armed conflict in certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, “fuelled by the inflow of foreign fighters and weapons from the Russian Federation, accounts for the majority of violations of the right to life in Ukraine over the last two years,” claiming up to 2,000 civilian lives. Close to 90 per cent of conflict-related civilian deaths have resulted from indiscriminate shelling of residential areas.

The 20-page report, which has an additional 31-page annex describing more than 60 specific cases, focuses mainly on cases of alleged killings of civilians, and people otherwise protected under international humanitarian law, in the conflict zone while no armed hostilities were taking place in the immediate vicinity of the incidents.

Significant numbers of people, including civilians, have also been summarily executed or died in custody, with most such killings occurring in 2014 and early 2015. According to the report, armed groups mainly executed individuals who had, or were believed to have, vocal ‘pro-unity’ views or to support Ukrainian forces, while Ukrainian forces targeted people based on their alleged affiliation with, or support for, armed groups, or for their “separatist” or “pro-Russian” views.

Numerous allegations of executions of Ukrainian soldiers and elements of armed groups who had surrendered or were hors de combat have also been reported, although the full scale of the phenomenon is hard to assess, the report says.

Turkey lifts objections to Sweden and Finland joining NATO

This fucking sucks.
Sweden and Finland have now contracted themselves to end support for the YPG.
The Americans fucked the Kurds repeatedly through Bush and Obama.
The one good thing the Trump admin did was supporting the Kurds in the battle for Raqqa but of course that degenerate freak almost straight away folded to Erdogan with his flip-flop 'I'm antiwar - ultimate warrior' horsehit virtue-signalling withdrawal.
Now Brandon is completely abandoning them because we need more NATO allies on the border of a nuclear power?

America is meant to be stitching back together the fabrication that it can be relied on and this is how they do it.

They've ended the arms embargo that was in place against Turkey.
I've seen posts on Twitter (yeah, I know) saying that there are already lists of Kurds in Scandinavia compiled and ready to go for the new extradition rules.
Sweden and Finland will now be sharing intel and are amending their terrorism laws accordingly.
This is twisted shit.

And yeah agreed , curious to see how a further extension of regional tensions goes.
