Terrible news from Kyiv Oblast. The Russian military has carried out mass killings of unarmed Ukrainian civilians in Bucha northwest of Kyiv. pic.twitter.com/WD98QR313u

Executed civilians are found almost everywhere. On the Zhytomyr highway, in Motyzhyn, in other towns and villages. Just now the head of Bucha reported, about a mass grave of 300 people, which they found. Only today. Tomorrow should be more known. pic.twitter.com/kx9SZSCl1U

The Russians are also reportedly systemically looting and selling their plunder in Belarus and using children as human shields.
This is going to ensure that Russia will harvest a legacy of hate in Ukraine that will spread far beyond the borders of Ukraine. Every nation that is close to Russia's borders will remember the utter lack of humanity of Russia.
I believe these images are real. They are horrific.
ReplyDeleteBut I cant help remembering the stories of Kuwaiti children being torn off ventilators, and I have to wonder if I'm being lied to.
Goddamn George Bush and his lies.
George Bush poisoned the well when it comes to the U.S. putting together an international coalition. A lot of the world hasn't forgotten his lies.
ReplyDeleteSimple. The people driving down the street and making the video aren't Republicans.
ReplyDeleteBack in the Bush era, my then wife had me make up a bumper sticker for her: It's not Criminal, It's Republican. They've gone deep since then.
If you want to make your own black and white bumper stickers, have a laser printer and a graphics program (I've used Corel Draw since the 90's), I have directions here:

I don't do them any more; it's too effing dangerous since the TOFF* gave rightwing America free rein to whatever mayhem they so feel moved to. Because patriotism, doncha know.

To think that the statesmen of the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower have dwindled to Romney and Cheney. Were Abe and Ike were to come again, they'd be lynched.
Heather Cox Richardson has a piece of how it was with Ike; it is to weep:
“Our underlying philosophy,” said a Republican under Eisenhower, “is this: if a job has to be done to meet the needs of people, and no one else can do it, then it is a proper function of the federal government.” Americans had, “for the first time in our history, discovered and established the Authentic American Center in politics. This is not a Center in the European sense of an uneasy and precarious mid-point between large and powerful left-wing and right-wing elements of varying degrees of radicalism. It is a Center in the American sense of a common meeting-ground of the great majority of our people on our own issues, against a backdrop of our own history, our own current setting and our own responsibilities for the future.”
The whole of Richardson's post.

Tacitus might have been thinking of the GOP: To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire, and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
Or Putin....
Making rounds in the breakroom. "it's all a false flag, Trump and Putin are gonna get that server and the REAL laptop. They already have the bioweapons lab and Fauci.Trump's an effin genius." Sarah Palin is going to Launch an attack from Alaska.....OK I made the last part up.
ReplyDeleteSeafury, this should not be news to you, but you work with a pack of imbeciles.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Russia will be not so much a pariah state as incel. No country, no people, no person would sensibly want to dance with them, much less 'get in bed'.
