A Modest Supposition: We Will Be Seeing Trials of Russian War Criminals into the 22nd Century

At least nine people were killed and dozens wounded, including children, after a Russian missile struck a nine-story apartment tower in the city of Dnipro, shattering two weeks of relative calm in Ukraine.

The attack on one of Ukraine’s most populous cities came in an early-afternoon wave, the 10th mass missile strikes by Russia since early October. The day’s barrage, which included air and sea-launched cruise missiles, also hit infrastructure targets in Kyiv and Kharkhiv. Ukraine’s air defense said Russia probably launched ballistic missiles, undetectable by air defense, from the north. The Ukrainian military said it intercepted 25 of 38 missiles fired.

The Russians probably are pounding Ukrainian civilians because the Russians believe that there are Republicans in the Congress who have their backs. Oh, you can bet that those wingnuts deny that, but the plain fact of the matter is that if you are not in favor of helping the Ukraininas defend their country, then you are in favor of Russian aggression.

Russian war crimes will be the subject of prosecutions for many decades to come.

Meanwhile, in Missouri, the Reublicans are edging closer to requiring that women wear burkhas. Because men are such fragile creatures and who knows what lavicious thoughts might be sparked if they see uncovered female skin.

  4. As to Missouri, put a box of eyeshades and a box of horse blinders by the front door. Just like we do with Covid masks now. Put out a note that: If Offended by bare arms, take one each, sit down, and shut the Eff up.
    Hide their arms? Who the hell got their panties in a knot over that? This is the 21st century, maybe it's time to let women's arms be free? The problem is the perverts, not the bare arms.
