This is just inhumane.
They say we're the wild ones from the jungle, they place the human rights abuses in 'developing countries' under a microscope while they commit the same atrocities (even worse) discreetly..we are so distracted and blinded by our own struggles and we begin to see these animals as the messiah because they perfected the art of lying, plundering and deception.

Where is Julian Assange?



US Repatriates Two Brothers Held at Guantanamo Detention Center for 20 Years Without Charges


The US repatriated to Pakistan two more Guantanamo Bay detainees, reducing the number left to 32, the Pentagon said in a statement.
The pair of individuals, who are being repatriated to Pakistan, have been identified as Abdul Rabbani and Mohammad Rabbani. The review board determined their detention was no longer necessary on May 13, 2021 and August 17, 2021, respectively.

The Rabbani brothers were in US custody for nearly 20 years and never charged with a crime.


A release issued by the Pentagon noted it was not until January 18, 2023 that Congress was notified by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of the agency's intention to repatriate both detainees.
The New York Times, citing two officials, said they were arrested for allegedly operating a terrorist safe house in the wake of 9/11.

The pair arrived to the detention center, located on the coast of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, after being kept at a CIA-run black site in Afghanistan for 1.5 years, the report added. Described in US intelligence files as Pakistani nationals, the brothers were actually born and raised in Saudi Arabia and are ethnically Rohingya.
The Pentagon said of the 32 detainees remaining, 18 are eligible for transfer, 12 are in the review or military commission process, and two have been convicted.

China is not a saint either, the way she has treated Taiwan and Hong Kong has shown that given the same opportunity she will be worse than the US.

I don't know but I felt they always see people in that particular prison as threat to the US.
Isn't there where the Plane bomber was held too?
I don't support their action though

Maybe you misread the headline or you're righlty referring to the US as terrorists.
They were not released without Trial, they were imprisoned without Trial/Charges.
This violates the very foundational principles of justice and fairness.
You're antecedent precedes you, you're always confused.

Russia confronted with whole empire of diverse enemies, says Medvedev


History repeats itself, Russia’s Security Council Deputy Chairman said.

History repeats itself and Russia is again confronted with an empire of diverse enemies 80 years after the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, Russia’s Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in an article, Year of Defending Fatherland, published in the National Defense magazine on Saturday.

"A year after the start of the special military operation, we celebrated yet another very important date in our history in February 2023: the 80th anniversary of the Soviet people’s victory in the Battle of Stalingrad - the chief battle of the 20th century, after which the final rout of the Hitlerite armies became inevitable," Medvedev said.

"History repeats itself. We are again confronted actually with a whole empire of diverse enemies: Ukrainian and European Neo-Nazis, the United States, other Anglo-Saxons and their minions (about half a hundred of countries)," he said.

The enemies have set the task of wiping Russia off from the face of the earth but their attempts will fail, the security official stressed.

"We are stronger and this is also obvious now. And the so-called ‘Western world’ is just a small part of the international community, about 15% of the planet’s population. A rich, over-satiated but still a minority," he added.

The past year of the special military operation in Ukraine has taught the Russians many things and consolidated the country’s citizens in the fight against the common enemy and "has finally helped get rid of the illusions about the ‘democratic’ West whose hypocrisy and frenzied Russophobia have gone beyond all thinkable limits," Medvedev pointed out.

What Russia has gained over that year is its firm confidence in its own strength and in its victory, he said.
