Summary

Trump cut funding to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was tracking Russian war crimes, including the abduction of 35,000 Ukrainian children.

A Yale source claims the U.S. State Department deleted key evidence, possibly hindering prosecution efforts and rescue missions. The data was crucial to the ICC’s case against Putin and others.

Trump, who recently met with Putin, has taken a pro-Russian stance.

Yale’s project had led to multiple indictments, but its shutdown raises concerns over legal and humanitarian consequences.

    The 60 to 0 is so abrupt in the noise they made, I’m starting to wonder how significant a portion of that cohort was just bots and troll farms

      Yeah I think many of them were not people with real opinions. Because that opinion was idiotic. Ignoring the consequences one claims to be avoiding takes a special kind of stupid

        I think they were real people because I regularly get into arguments with those dumbasses. They also always have the same bullshit easily proven wrong logic.

        Fuck, two people today told me “Not voting isn’t inaction.” Like how fucking stupid do you have to be to think literally not doing anything is going to make something happen?
