The Russian apologists are out in force in the comment sections. I like to point out at times like these, that if the Russians are whining about something, that's a good thing. Like with the sanctions, if they say it's not fair, it's a great idea!

[AKrn]

The United States should be suspended from the human rights council while they're voting.

[alanvermillionsr]

No debate is required. They are violating human rights in all directions.

[andreiaes]

sure russians dont really care they are nota part of this mappet show no more.

[netiturtle]

Wohoo. Pointless expulsion from pointless institution. Current members with stellar human rights record like China, Senegal, Gabon, Russia, elected to the council, its all about politics and none about human rights

[ethanrichardson]

The reaction of the international community is justified and relevant

[simplexj]

So how would Putin himself put it? "Spit them out like a mosquito!"

[hpfreemen]

Russia has nothing to do with human rights

[kamabokogompachiro]

As long as the shining beacons of human rights like Saudi Arabia and China are in the council, I still have hope in it even if Russia stays on

[lukehartman]

So, they won’t get to sit in a big room with he rest of you to just talk, talk, talk and not actually help. Great we all know this is a humanitarian crisis. How long are we going to just talk about it and do nothing.

[Ivan-fsgo]

If Russia is removed from Human Rights Council they will not be obligated to follow human rights agreements, right?

[jjmbeausoleil]

The whataboutism and facist apologist comments are cringe

[raysschoko]

why is the USA allowed to sit there after all they have done?

[pareshlad]

If US and Europe countries will attack on Russia then who will help to Russia? Who will conduct this meetings for Russia? And who will speak for Russia’s rights ?

[thapamun]

This only starting more to go ahead this kind of punishment will step on Country named Russia.

[ruthjilani]

I hope Many Nations will stay sane and not vindictive on this which hunt

[chiranjibsharma]

Yugoslavia, Eraq, Libia, Afghanistan, Syria etc. All are great human rights showed by invader. I think good invader vs bad invader. Of course Commedian is a good Actor....thanks
