As should the original defense attorney who allowed this travesty to occur to their client. Paid, pro-bono, or public defender, letting your client plead to a nonexistent crime would seem to be a pretty strong reason for a legal malpractice suit.

This happened in Armenia last year when their Free Syrian Army was let loose by the Turkish government on Nagorno/Qarabaq. I know people are making the argument that the longer the war goes on the worse it is for Russia, therefore, the better it is for Ukraine, but it’s easy for other countries to fight to the last…

The prosecutor from the original case should have their license revoked.

Right, I’m confused as well. If she’s getting hammered for published work elsewhere described as creative nonfiction, that’s one thing, but why does anyone need to care at Grey’s or any TV show *purely from a writing standpoint*? If there’s some HR stuff beyond that (like accommodations given or medical leave given or…

Only this time it’s not the bloodthirsty retaliation for the Nazis invading Russia and raping and/or murdering any woman with a pulse.

Not quite. This time there are no Nazis to be put down, and the violence is unprovoked. This is more like Nazi Germany’s Blitzkrieg.

never underestimate the amount of hang-ups people generally have about sex.

This is basically kidnapping and is a war crime.

And Liberia. It's basically a hobby for evangelicals at this point. To add to the depravity, many of them are big fans of the Pearls' To Train Up a Child Book. That book only led to the death of 3 children. 

Matt Shea is more than a busybody. He’s been booted from the WA state GOP for domestic terrorism against the United States, organized and supported three armed conflicts of political violence, and advocated replacing the government with a theocracy and “the killing of all males who do not agree.”

Plus this is literally what happened in Haiti ten years ago.

This is just straight-up child trafficking. These kids have been through enough; they and their families shouldn’t need to worry about them being scooped up and taken thousands of miles away before anyone realizes what’s going on.

What about those children from South America or Syria? Oh right, they aren’t blond with blue eyes and pale skin.

Trafficking.

So let me get this straight, it is in the best interest of the kids to be taken out of Ukraine, into Poland and then immediately to Texas during a war? A war that has disrupted probably every service that Ukraine would have to keep track of the majority of its citizens, let alone children living in an orphanage or…

These are the kinds of people that would send a child back to Ukraine on a plane by themselves because the child ended up being too “damaged” (i.e. traumatized) and/or isn’t grateful for being “saved”.

This is stomach turning. There is something deeply disturbing about adoption trends amongst evangelical conservatives on a good day, but add in children displaced by war and it’s too much to take. I’m so glad that alarm bells are going off in Poland and nobody trusts this guy. The goal should be reunification and…

Former Yugoslavia and Ireland are in Europe...

As someone with Indian heritage, I am so thrilled that this viewpoint is published here. I fully heart this and agree.
