Great report. There is no such thing as a "war crime", war is a crime. Our leaders in the US are just as evil and criminal as Putin for all the war we have done in the world. What Putin has done is a crime against humanity, like our wars. There is no justification for killing.
Very disheartening commentary. War on either side always is. A civil war is always the worse, because you are fighting the mirror of yourself. I felt this way overlooking the battle of Gettysburg. I don’t agree with this war at all. The Minsk agreements should have been firmly kept, returned to, and the regular Ukrainian and Russian people like myself would be alive and not displaced. Too bad both governments have corrupted elements at the top, reaching for power rather than peaceful co-existence. America has involved itself corruptly in too many foreign wars that just left thousands displaced and dead. No need to list them here. We have our own fight for freedom here and we need to reckon with our own sins. Unfortunately, war is not the answer, nor serving up truckloads of arms and cash. The USA made another huge blunder. I have only one question to ask Zelenskyy. If the American people were fighting a war with Mexico, would he send his son and daughter to fight over here?
Yes, total bullshit. When someone invades your country, the possible answers are fight or surrender. In this case, war is in fact the answer, and the right one.
Perhaps if the Ukrainians had not permitted their corrupt government to come into power via a CIA-led color revolution in 2014 and subsequently harass eastern Ukrainians in the Donbass (who are more Russian than anything else) via constant unwarranted shelling by Ukrainian Azov Nazis since then, Putin would have had far less of an incentive to invade. Perhaps if Ukrainians had not permitted corrupt U.S. globalists to establish multiple illegal bioweapons laboratories there, close to Russia's border, Putin would not have seen as big a threat to his country. Perhaps if the Ukrainians had rejected having NATO want to put missiles in their country aimed ay Russia, Putin would not have the incentive to invade. The innocent citizens have my sympathies for they did not make the decisions to blatantly challenge Russia's safety security. But are they really aware that their own corrupt government did, in collusion, with U.S. Deep State criminals?
And perhaps if the Czechs had surrendered a bit quicker we wouldn't have had World War II.
I don't think anything in your response bears much relationship to reality. Whatever excuses you'd like to assign, Putin invaded Ukraine because he thought he could get away with the entire country. The irresolution of 2014 taught him that. The strong devour the weak and we in the West can't be roused from our comfortable decline.
Irresolution in 2022 means he (or his successor) continues this behavior wherever he thinks he can get away with it. While Sweden and Finland are off of his meal card, the rest of Ukraine, the rest of Georgia (did they have bioweapons labs too?) and others are not.
I’m interested in your take on Ukraine’s motivation in this conflict. Please share.
I would agree that Russian motivation is not a single cause but complex. I don’t necessarily know where to draw the line between pretext and genuineness. But at some point, motivation’s importance is irrelevant in light of the deeds that the motivation attempts to justify.
Even if you fear your neighbor wants to pour Roundup on your perfect lawn, you aren’t justified in burning his house down and killing his family.
Just one point . Autocrats can more easily act as no one dares ignore Der Fuhrer. Democracies procrastinate because of the diversity of opinions. The Ukraine will fight to the bitter end and Putin's pitiful military tactics will fall as we see see and know what he does. Russians aerated all along their western borders even Byelorussians. He's lost at least 40% of the US Casualties Boston 30 years un Viet Nam in 5 months. We just need some one with charisma to come to the fore to lead the West and help stop. the unnecessary aggression,
No I am not a "Russian bot". I actually breathe and have a heartbeat. And a brain that finally woke up to recognize the propaganda of the Deep State Globalists. Butmkeep letting them turn your head towards Russia ( Look! Squirrel! ) and away from their treacherous scheming.

A compelling read.

Fighting will continue until Russia loses.
We will agree to disagree on what is truly motivating either side in this conflict.
