Of course. They've looted about anything that's not nailed to the ground, and even so.

[Beatlearl]

We did the same after invading Iraq and other countries in the past.🇺🇸🤔

I heard only art left was Hunter Biden’s work😂

[lindaj]

Glad to hear that Smithsonian & Interpol are already on the case. Remembering dreadful scenes in Iraq, Syria of cultural thefts - and murder of custodians.

Sure just like the uS did with nearly 15, 000 antiquities stolen from a museum during the Iraq war but their story is
"These items were looted by thieves taking advantage of the confusion of war to turn a profit with total disregard to their cultural value"
~Ivan J. Arvelo, special agent with HSI in New York

Why wouldn't they? If you are willing to steal hundreds of thousands of lives, what's the gripe about a piece of canvas, a wooden frame and some paint?

Unconditional surrender is the only way out for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender. Biden administration is urging Zelenskyy regime to start its last and most likely suicidal offensive because current situation is unsustainable. It would be difficult to convince republican congress to keep wasting hundreds of billions on this lost war . WSJ is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: "Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience. A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands . Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives. " Zelenskyy is officially catching and forced conscripting even disabled. When such people are in the trenches, it means that the front can collapse at any moment. Plan B of Biden administration is to try to throw Polish army into a meat grinder. I just hope that Polish government isn't that crazy.

Happy Good Friday everyone! Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross to pay the penalty and forgive us for our sins. It is Good Friday because of the good news that Jesus forgives and saves us if we accept Him (John 3:16; John 14:6; Matthew chapters 26-28)! Of course, three days later He arose from the grave as a victor. Have a great weekend!

That doesn't sound like something the Ruzzians would do. They're such fine upstanding people.
