Ivan Demjanjuk, accused of being involved in the murder of some 29,000 Jews in a Nazi death camp during the Second World War, has been deported from the US to Germany. But was it really him who was behind the crimes?
@Marzipan6 We should start with reparations from the New York, Germany and London international banks to Russia for financing and organising of these Pale of Settlement Marxist terrorists who Coup d'état the Tsarist government and transferred Tsarist gold reserve assets back to the banks who financed them.
No, Johnx, we should start with Russia's total failure - indeed its point-blank refusal - to prosecute even one solitary offender who committed crimes against humanity on behalf of the Soviet state. Since Russia is so strident and ceaseless in its accusations, unsupported by facts, of its Baltic neighbours alledgedly being Nazis and since it is so tireless in accusing its neighbours of abusing local Russians and their statues, the hypocrisy which Russia presents to the world is towering. RT entitled its current article, "'Ivan the Terrible' -- Now it's Germany's Turn.". Please tell us, when will it at last be Russia's turn? And if not at all, then why not?
When will they start George Bush's trial for 7,000+ USA Soldiers and over 600,000 Iraqi'a killed since 2003? Not to mention 29,000+ Injured Soldiers and those that came home and took their own life or the lives of their family too? Remember 9/11 had NOTHING to do with Saddam.
Keith, most Iraqis who were killed died at the hands of fellow Iraqis or their co-religionists, not at the hands of coalition troops. That aside, there are aspects of the US involvement in Iraq that were clearly illegal, and some other aspects arguably illegal. However, even the worst of these do not begin to compare with the horrific 75-year long fruits of the Soviet regime in Russia, and of its 50-year long reign of oppression in Eastern Europe. Those who think otherwise do so on the basis of something other than facts. Nevertheless crime is crime wherever it happens, and by whose ever hand, and justice should prevail.It is a popular, though quite ineffective diversion, to excuse Soviet criminality by changing the subject to possibly someone else's.
Marzipan, once again, uses any excuse to use RT forums to wage his personal one-man historical revisionism. Pathetic.
"Since Russia is so strident and ceaseless in its accusations, unsupported by facts, of its Baltic neighbours alledgedly being Nazis " Breathtaking. Apparently, in Marzipans twisted little make-believe world, parades by SS veterans does not indicate Nazi sympathies. It wasn't us... the Nazis made us do it?
Here we go again trying to punish someone who was only taking orders ,yes thats right "orders" from his peers I would have done the same its called survival ,these guys never started it they just lived thru it they were hard times to be around and we cant precide over anybody that came thu that whether it's him or not we have no right at all , leave the man alone he has suffered enough.
But when will Russia prosecute its first ever offender who committed crimes against humanity in the name of the Soviet state? Is there not a colossal double standard operating here?
