White House To Announce More Russian Sanctions Amid Reports Of Bucha Mass Killings

[createone]

Why do we keep hearing about more sanctions? In other words, why haven’t all the stops already been pulled out? At this late hour, there shouldn’t be ANYTHING to do with Russia that has not already been sanctioned. Enough of the back-room exemptions!

Slava Ukraini! ✊🏼🇺🇦!! I truly SALUTE the Ukrainians' amazing tenacity and spirit of freedom! We must fight this authoritarian/totalitarian scourge in our own country. I will simply vote AGAINST each and every single candidate that has NOT openly denounced the Trump anti-democratic movement. I recommend you do the same. Slava Ukraini! ✊🏼🇺🇦!!

“We just left Moscow, ” Trump said. “He [Putin] could not have been nicer. He was so nice and so everything. But you have to give him credit that what he’s doing for that country in terms of their world prestige is very strong.”

In the same interview, Trump praises Putin’s invasion of Crimea. “Well, he’s done an amazing job of taking the mantle, ” Trump said. “And he’s taken it away from the President, and you look at what he’s doing. And so smart. When you see the riots in a country because they’re hurting the Russians, OK, ‘We’ll go and take it over.’ And he really goes step by step by step, and you have to give him a lot of credit.”

I wonder how we can let the Russians know the truth of what they are doing ?

[intenseninja]

How about The White House to announce something much tougher than sanctions without reluctance.

[Wheelabarraback]

Nothing will be done . The perpetrators at the highest level will get away with it .

[rgwak]

Or as fox news is reporting this: "Stop being so mean to Mr Putin!"

[johndowner]

The World’s Moral And Practical Obligation To Ukraine

In Ukraine, there is both a moral and practical obligation, which transcends the fact of there being no formal obligation from NATO or the EU.
As we know from history, formal obligations crumble in the face of reality when dealing with someone like Putin. I am not complaining so much as I am cautioning the entire world that if it is not willing to nip in the bud the actions of Putin now, we will most certainly be compelled to confront him later. And the effects of that will probably be much worse than the risk of starting a third world war now.
A world that bows to the will of a bully and dictator today, will either become a virtual pawn of that bully and dictator or be forced to fight him later. As we saw with Hitler, because the world was not willing to confront him early on, the ultimate conflagration that resulted was much worse than it might otherwise have been.
Just as a free individual cannot long endure the abuse and domination of a bullying neighbor, so too, the free nations of the world cannot long endure the abuse and dominance of a bully and dictator among them.
Of course, the possibility of nuclear war is paralyzing, and the present fear of that happening is what gives Putin his ultimate edge. He knows this and wants the world to think he might be crazy enough to use nuclear weapons. We need to call his bluff by letting him know that we will even risk nuclear war to save freedom and democracy in the world.
The world not only allowed Putin to exist but did business with him. Now humanity must pay the karmic price for its complicity. And that price may be a third world war, which might even mean nuclear war.
This is a horrifying thought, but reality does not care what is horrifying to humanity. The world we create and the results of that creation are as they are. If we cater to autocrats, we will have to live with autocracy as the way of the world - or we can stop allowing autocrats to evolve and exist in the world.
At the moment, Ukraine is the center of our universe. It is the focal point and pivot point for our future. What we decide to do there will determine the direction we will take to that future and what that future will be. Will it be a world where freedom and democracy become the way of the world for all humankind, or will it be a world where the dream of freedom and democracy is dead, and slavery and autocracy rule?

Russia should NOT be allowed to rejoin the global community economically, politically, or any other way until Putin and his Oligarch enablers are held to full account for their war in Ukraine.
