analysis World War III

[oldtimer]

I believe that President Biden was right when he said that Russia is going to Invade Ukraine.

Any intelligent person is going to come to the same conclusion knowing that Russia has already decided to pay any price imposed on it by the West through sanctions.

Short of full military confrontation by the West there is nothing that can make Russia to change its mind as they see this as a golden opportunity to resurrect the once powerful superpower that was equal to the USA.

But Russia’s ambitions are not going to stop with taking over Ukraine since it already has made plans to increase its sphere of influence to Asia, Middle East, and South America and perhaps the whole World knowing that the West is most likely not going to do anything beyond just imposing sanctions which ultimately will hurt the West itself by effecting the Global economy in an adverse way the longer that they go on.

I personally don’t like any of the old ideologies, philosophies, and doctrines of Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Religious Fundamentalism and all the other “ism” that are derived from the bad human characteristics of Greed, Lust, Hate, Cruelty, Jealousy, Prejudice, and lack of Empathy and that have been infringing on our rights in one way or another throughout the history because they can only exist through supporting inequality, oppression, suppression, torture, killing, and War.

When it comes to saving the World the last thing that I want to see is the further expansion of these old systems that have all already proven to be a failure in dealing with the existential problems that are currently facing Humanity and the Environment.

We don’t want all these political, Religious, and Racial parties and groups to resurrect their past, we want something new that can propel the World into the next Era that is based on the Universal Principles and Values that have been derived through Logic and Compassion and not through Force and Violence.

By “We” I mean all the Intelligent, Righteous, and Peace loving people of the World.

Ukrainian Mayor Killed 'Execution Style,' Thrown Into Pit by Troops: Report​

https://www.newsweek.com/ukrainian-mayor-killed-execution-style-thrown-pit-troops-report-1694575

"A Ukrainian mayor and her family were reportedly killed in an "execution style" slaying by Russian troops before being thrown into a pit in a forested area, a local resident told the Associated Press on Sunday.

Olga Sukhenko, the mayor of the Ukrainian town of Motyzhyn, which is located near Kyiv, was allegedly shot alongside her husband and son for refusing to comply with Russian demands, the AP reported. The resident who spoke to the news outlet was identified only as a man named Oleg for security purposes.

Oleg told the AP that Russian troops targeted local officials across Motyzhyn and murdered those who did not cooperate. After the mayor and her family were shot, the man said they were thrown into a pit behind a plot of land that contained three houses that Russian forces occupied.

Prior to Oleg's account, Sukhenko and her family had been reported as kidnapped by Russian forces on March 23, the AP noted. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk confirmed the mayor's murder to the news outlet on Sunday, and said there are currently 11 other mayors or community leaders being held in Russian captivity across Ukraine."

In Ukraine, since February 24, 148 children have been killed and 232 children injured in hostilities.

This was reported by the press service of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.

“More than 380 children have been injured in Ukraine since the beginning of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. Of these, 148 were killed and 232 were injured, “was statated.

According to the data obtained, the most affected children were in Kyiv – 69, Donetsk – 57, Kharkiv – 53, Chernihiv – 41, Mykolaiv – 30, Luhansk – 30, Zaporizhia – 22, Kherson – 27, the capital – 16, Sumy – 16, Zhytomyr – 15 areas.

And these figures are not final, as there is no possibility of conducting priority investigative actions, inspection of areas of shelling and destruction in places of active hostilities and in the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, in the city of Mariupol, in some areas of Kyiv, Chernihiv and Luhansk regions.

About 130K residents still remain in a besieged Mariupol. The city is destroyed. Russian invaders keep shelling it and deny access for humanitarian assistance. People exist there without food, water, medications, electricity. Russia is killing more & more daily.

Russia claims the photographs of the massacre from Bucha-Ukraine were: "ordered" & are a "provocation" designed to disrupt peace talks .

https://news.yahoo.com/russia-says-footage-ukraines-bucha-060556971.html

This is what Putler is doing in Ukraine. The troops of the russian Hitler are butchers, rapists, torturers and murderers. Always following Putler's orders.
---------------------

#Bucha, #Ukraine. #Russian occupants killed adults and children. They then tried to burn the bodies. Apparently they wanted to hide their war crimes. Outrageous.

The Butcher of Bucha​

https://www.kyivpost.com/article/opinion/op-ed/the-butcher-of-bucha.html

"The world yesterday saw evidence of genocide and horrific war crimes in Ukraine, discovered after Russian troops withdrew from Bucha, a town near Kyiv. Besides its destruction by artillery and bombing, Russian soldiers purposely went on a murderous spree. Hastily dug mass graves held around 300 people, and dozens more were found dead on its streets, including some who had been bound and executed.

Clearly, Vladimir Putin is as barbarous as was his hero Joseph Stalin or Germany’s Adolph Hitler. There cannot be any doubt now that Putin, his army, and his government must be eradicated. Russia must be sanctioned into oblivion, and NATO and the United Nations Security Council must intervene because the atrocities, known and still unknown, in this war mark another grim milestone in history.

On February 24, 2022, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine upended the world order, as did the creation of the German Nazi Party on February 24, 1920. Putin’s mass murder is rooted in a Hitlerian “super race” theology and replicates Stalin’s genocide of 1932 and 1933 (called “the Holodomor”) when 3.5 million Ukrainians were starved to death for the crime of refusing to give up their farms to move into his communist collectives. Now they are being mowed down and blown up for the crime of wanting to be European and democratic. The map of that 20th-century genocide, and of the current war, are chillingly similar.

Maximum force must be threatened to demand a halt to this gradual destruction of a country of 44 million people. Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky — who was ruined and sent to a gulag for 10 years by Putin — said the civilized world doesn’t realize the monster it faces. “He’s a criminal. We must understand that in his head Putin is not at war with Ukraine. He’s at war with the U.S. and NATO. He’s started to prepare Russian society for an attack on NATO countries. This will not be the last war. The next step will be the Baltics. He has a mission in his head that’s way scarier.”

Khodorkovsky also admired President Biden for saying that Putin should not be in power. “People all over the world expect an ethical assessment from the leader of the free world. His words are absolutely correct and very important.” Now actions must match words. This is the 21st Century’s “9-11” moment. Putin is as savage as were Stalin and Hitler. Russia’s armed forces must be obliterated. Its economy must be dismantled to strangle its war machine. Putin’s reign must end."

At the Ukraine/Poland border. Tired women and children leaving their country. They’re being pestered by American preachers telling them they all need to accept Jesus as their saviour and their lives will be better. Receiving a lot of eye rolls in response.

Apparently they wanted to hide their war crimes.

Not in 2022..

Such massacres were committed in other nations, but usually world powers choose to turn a blind eye, but everyone could see. Nothing like that can be hidden.

The head of the DNR, Denis Pushilin, awarding a medal to Lieutenant Colonel Timur Kurilkin for "destroying 250 Nazis" - which is ironic, considering Kurilkin has two neo-Nazi patches clearly visible on his uniform.

More video of what average Russians think about Ukraine.

I was hopeful that the Russian people would stand up to what is happening... however, the more I look into it, the more I think that we'll have to force them to accept defeat in Ukraine.

It's difficult to test the true barometer, but if these videos are any indication of the general public attitude of Russian public support for Putin's war, it is truly an incriminating statement of one society's extreme prejudice, ignorance and tolerance for inhumanity to their fellow human beings.

People can believe what they want, but this is my main issue with organized religion in general.

They go into places where people are desperate and spread the "gospel" instead of actually doing something useful.

This is the last thing people who have just been ripped from their country and homes need.

Many of these pictures are incredibly difficult to see, but they have to be shared.
Sheltering people from seeing these pictures would be a mistake.

It should be hard to see. It should be painful, so it does not happen again.

The people who did this need to be held accountable. The people who supported it need to be forced to live with the shame.

I disagree , it’s actually the first thing they need, comfort , love and reassurance . But it’s a whole nother topic.

Yeah, when someone has no place to live, nothing to eat...they need that...not food or a place to stay.

Maybe do something useful instead. It is like "thoughts and prayers" vs. actually doing something helpful.

There has to be a turning point to stop the needless killing , I don’t know the answer, rather it is immediately removing Putin from power or ect. I don’t feel Ukraine has what it takes to engage the issue no matter what the answer is. I do still feel Putin will launch , perhaps even on West targets , Putin is holding his Nukes over the head of the world as his ace in the whole.IMO

I agree, but at some point you can't let a tyrant go around just slaughtering innocent people.

Where is the red line? What if they do the same in Estonia, Poland, Finland, etc.?

The blatant war crimes against civilians have been exposed for the entire world to see. This is not a military action, it is a state sponsored terrorist attack.

There is a going to be a confrontation sooner or later. It is inevitable.

I spoke about that above, let's just say if there is a heaven and if most religious nuts believe they are going there, it's not my idea of 'heaven' and not people I want to spend 'eternity' with.

I was christened as a baby, but I don't align myself with any religion, I hope there is a god and I'd like to think there is something more when our lifes on earth is over, but I don't like the idea of scaremongering people with 'you either believe what we believe or your going to hell' which many religions believe on those type of lines - For me organised religion encourages hate/division rather than unity.

Yep, sooner or later, if “whoever” has the plan in place, it might as well happen now as opposed to later IMO

Bastards!

Sorry for the language, but I'm sure most people said that word after they saw this.

There's more to this now than Putin, this is result of years of brainwashing within Russia, this is Russia and we need deem whats happening in Ukraine, not only as 'Putin's crimes' but as crimes by the whole of Russia.
