Vindman: Bucha, Ukraine Killings Show Russian ‘Callousness For Human Life’

“It shows a general callousness for human life,” says Lt. Col. Vindman on the Russian atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine. “Certainly they are callous with their soldiers’ lives, they’re going to be callous with the civilians’ lives.”

That's beyond brutality. I guess I would call it pure sadism, which is pleasure derived from torture and killing. This is Stalin and Hitler level.

[AllieSheffield]

My heart goes out to the family and friends of these people! If someone can’t see this as a crime, they are blind and themselves are criminal. Shame on us if we don’t stand with these brave and innocent people.

[batgurrl]

Thanks Chis. Lt Colonel Vindman looks even more serious than usual. These war crimes need to be called out for what they are.

[vietnamesebeauties]

These scenes are shocking & terrible. We, the Vietnamese girls university team, continue to pray for peace would come soonest to the land & people of Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦 🙏🙏

It's not "callousness" at this point, it's unrestrained bloodlust.

I am a Canadian, NATO goes in, no Russian prisoners.

In this civilized world, there is no place for butchers committing genocide in Ukraine. Urgent action with significant results on this genocide, war crimes done by Russia. God bless Ukraine.

[imisstoronto]

I find it hard to believe that the military commanders of these units didn't stop them. And since they didn't, they must be complicit or certainly turned a blind eye to it. They're ALL guilty. All are war criminals.

[lauralafauve]

Thank you, Chris, for letting Vindeman say his piece.

This atrocity reminds me of the massacre of the French civilians living in Oradour-sur-Glane by the 2nd SS Das Reich division in 1944. It reeks of elite Russian troops taking out their frustrations on the local civilian population because they are losing the battle.

The "investigation" should not impede the effort by the West to send anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles, along with aircraft, air-defense systems, and tanks.

[johnpaulwebb]

You want to know what is truly sick, some US companies are still doing business in Russia!!!!

[einherjar]

Not just Russian callousness for life... everyone that supports Putin including GOP/Trump, Tucker Carlson, and others, share responsibility for this death and destruction, atrocities... no amount of denial, lies, bots, and trolls can change the truth.

[juanmanueltakano]

Russia never cared for it's own people, imagine for a peaceful neighbor. It doesn't matter that they were like brothers, from the same ethnicity or origins, they just don't have the necessary human quality to understand what does it mean...

It dosent matter those troops wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for Putin. I don’t care who did the crime he’s still guilty and the military person is guilty also.

[liamrooney]

The Biden Administration should be enlisting Col. Vindman in some capacity at either the State or Defense Department to address the Ukrainian crisis.

[elisawestvirginiamountainm]

This all just breaks my heart. I question if the horror that took place in Bucha and other cities in Ukraine, wouldn't it be a possibility that Putin sent the mercenaries to cause this nightmare?

[hulamei]

People treated brutality will treat others brutally. That's what they know.

[phil_]

It should be obvious by now that there is a great deal of complicity in Russia. You can no longer try to pin this all on one man.

[merliefer]

its so brutal what those russians soldiers did to those innosent people they are evil, ,
