"The U.S. is committed to... accountability for atrocities."
Is this only for Nazi atrocities, @SecBlinken? Or is this satire?
I've spent my professional life chronicling U.S. efforts to buck accountability for atrocities and civilian harm.
🧵below...
Eighty-two years ago, Nazis murdered 34,000 Jews at Babyn Yar. Soviets buried this history, which today Putin's government manipulates to provide cover for Russia's abuses in Ukraine. The U.S. is committed to justice for Holocaust survivors and accountability for atrocities.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Soviet prisoners of war (POWs) were among the people who were massacred at Babyn Yar. The Soviets liberated Babyn Yar and Kiev in 1943. The Soviets held a trial in 1946 in Kiev for 15 German policemen involved in the Babyn Yar massacres.

44 years ago, Saudi Arabia experienced its first popular uprising in the predominantly Shia-region of Qatif.
Known as the "Muharram Uprising", it involved the active participation of the lesser-known Saudi Communist Party. 🧵

“The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”
