Fears Putin Will Move Towards A 'Genocidal Strategy' To Force Zelenskyy's Surrender Grow

Senator Chris Murphy joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss Russian-American relations, saying that “Vladimir Putin is in a very dangerous corner right now.” He communicated his worry that Putin is “not making sound decisions today as he didn't make a sound decision when he decided to invade.” He also expresses concern that Putin will “move towards a genocidal strategy in which he attacks and kills as many Ukrainian civilians as possible so as to bring Zelenskyy to the negotiating table simply to stop that slaughter of innocents.”

Fears Putin Will Move Towards A 'Genocidal Strategy' To Force Zelenskyy's Surrender Grow

[monarch]

"Move towards genocidal strategy"? He's already there!

[michaelrosner]

He always was on this strategy. Also before eg in Syria.

[nmdyeshua]

May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob send his angelic army to fight against and destroy the enemies of Ukraine, in Jesus’s name. Slava Ukraine. 🙏🏽❤️🔥🌈🇺🇦💛💙🇺🇸🙏🏽🔥

[geraldmyers]

What do you think Vladdy's doing now!! Wake up!!!

[jmckeev]

it's quite scary what's goin on at the moment. i'm from the UK and we're a tough little island, but lets not kid ourselves we're lucky we've got the USA as our allies, a country thats over 20x the size of ours. i'd hate to see them fall to the new superpowers ie china and russia because of they do, we're next

[herbrive]

you kidding me !! since day one massacres what is call ? love games???

[scottprather]

What do you mean "MOVE" towards a genocidal strategy? He's already doing it

[MrJunglebear]

Putin and his commanders should pay for everylife they have taken

[allwheeldrive]

Of course he'll ramp this up further! He has no choice now. Consider him an imminent threat to global security and safety - now! Get this over with before it becomes even more difficult.

[cousinjake]

Is targeting buildings clearly labeled "Children" in Russian not clear enough he means to head in the direction of genocide?

[paulbruney]

We need to take him out Now. The longer we take, the more he'll get away with. Quit giving him options

[aceace]

please do more for Ukraine! Putin has gotten away with a lot chechnya, georgia, syria, ukraine and who knows what! its time to stop this horrible tyrant.

[discreetanonymus]

putin has himself so cornered that he is willing to take the whole world down with him. This is a very dangerous situation, but the world cannot let putin get away with this. Give him an inch and putin will go for the next country.

[pho-kingsoup]

He's also carrying out a genocidal strategy on Russian conscripts.

[recoveringcatholicbornagai]

The only way is for one of his Generals to take him I'm afraid their all dead already

[mineown]

The problem with precedent is that it always comes back to haunt you, there's more than one actor watching the international reaction to Putin's invasion of ukraine.
Appeasement has never served anyone well in the long run .
Last but not least, to allow a genocide to proceed is to accept part of the guilt .

[rainron]

Ukrainians is our hope for democracy.. we cannot rely on our allies alone with our independence.. it is our people we can rely on.
Slava Ukraine!
Defeat the terror invaders.
Hope Ukrainians do something atleast Russia feel what you all suffering from the hands of Putin's terrorism.
"Single, unified Ukrainians" that is the definition of their nation.

[StopWhining]

"...move toward..."? He's already there.

[fugamantew]

Like he hasn’t already. Since the beginning of his taunting with annexing Crimea, the guy has found picturesque ways to excuse away this genocide he has unleashed against Ukraine.

[captain]

If it does lead to a more escalated war, this will be justified to defend the planet from a madman at all cost. Sadly
