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.

What is going on in Ukraine is very disturbing and is a reflection on the Humanity as a whole.

But we can't be vocal about it only when it's happening to us, we have to put a stop to all Human Rights violations no matter where and when in the World those are taking place.

Number of civilians found dead in Kyiv region passes 900​

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ivilians-found-dead-in-kyiv-region-passes-900

"More than 900 civilian bodies have been discovered in the region surrounding the Ukrainian capital after the withdrawal of Russian forces, most of them fatally shot, police have said.

Andriy Nebytov, the head of Kyiv’s regional police force, said that around Kyiv, bodies were abandoned in the street or given temporary burials. He cited police data indicating that 95% had died from gunshot wounds.

“Consequently, we understand that under the occupation, people were simply executed in the streets,” Nebytov said.

More bodies were being found every day, under rubble and in mass graves, he said. The largest number of victims were found in Bucha, where there were more than 350."

Meanwhile, this is what a russian wife tells his husband to do in Ukraine. Sickening.

I wish that someday soon in the near future people are going to stop being so Evil and that everyone can be taught to respect other lifeforms, but for now it seems that everyone wants to pretend to be civilized while pointing fingers at others.

At present, Ukraine is the most polluted country on the planet. Besides committing attrocities and genocide, Russia has created an ecological wasteland that will take decades to clean up. What I find troubling is that apparently Putin's domestic popularity rating has risen to 80%, if that is even credible.

Russian state mouthpiece says the situation has now entered WW3 with NATO. There will be no peace until Putin is gone IMO

Mondo Kudos to Ukraine...keep up the good fight!!

Russian occupiers raped at least 25 girls aged 14 to 24 in Bucha​

https://army.com.ua/war_in_ukraine/russian-occupiers-raped-at-least-25-girls.html

During the occupation of Bucha, Kyiv region, the Russian occupiers raped about 25 girls and women aged 14 and 24 in the basement of a house.

This was reported by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova in a comment to the BBC.

“About 25 girls and women aged 14 to 24 were systematically raped during the occupation in the basement of one house in Bucha. Nine of them are pregnant”, Denisova said.

She noted that Russian soldiers had told women that they were raping them to the point that they would not want to have sexual intercourse with any man in order to prevent them from having Ukrainian children.

The ombudsman said that they were receiving several calls on support helplines and also getting information through channels on the Telegram messaging app.

“A 25-year-old woman called to tell us her 16-year-old sister was raped in the street in front of her. She said they were screaming ‘This will happen to every Nazi prostitute’, as they raped her sister, Denisova said.

They shot them and then drove over them with tanks​

She noted that it is currently impossible to estimate the scale of sexual crimes committed by Russian troops during the occupation.

“It’s impossible at the moment because not everyone is willing to tell us what happened to them. The majority of them are currently seeking psychological support, so we cannot record those as crimes unless they give us their testimony”, Denisova said.

Earlier, evidence of genocide of the Ukrainians was found in the settlements of Kyiv region after its liberation, including mass killings, torture and rape of civilians.

There is nothing sacred in russian s0ldiers and they cannot be called soldiers. They are not human! They are worse than barbarians.

Putin's 'soldiers', supporters, apologists, ...... - I stick them all under 'Putin's pigs'. But that term is still too good for them.

These attrocities are clearly not only evidence of genocide toward Ukrainians, but the RUS army's blatant disregard for life marks these horrors as collective crimes against humanity that affect us all.

Yes this is a manmade disaster that might even get worse if Chemical or Nuclear weapons are used and are absorbed in the ecosystem, but I guess no one really is going to care about that while people are dying in the thousands.

I am specifically concerned about the Russian ship that was taken to the deep waters and then was sunk. The Nuclear leak and contamination of that area is going to cause problems for years to come.

As far as the Ukrainians fighting a good fight I guess at this point there is really no other choice since all the peace talks have collapsed, but I wish that it didn't have to come to this because now I believe that the killings are going to intensify.

Not to mention the massive amount of carbon emissions being produced.

Global Warming is currently on the backburner as even a limited regional nuclear war could trigger a Nuclear Winter and global famine.

Reminds me of images out of Syria, everything flattened, lives lost, suffering continues..

One thing not discussed as much simply because it's a less severe form of suffering, is refugees. It just amazes me, not in a good way, that a third of a country so far had to leave, have their lives as they know it just stop overnight. I always think about those people, I think they suffer a lot. Organized crime is probably flourishing in Europe right now, from human trafficking, to drug smuggling, to probably unspeakable things.

Tragic..

IMO

The deep evil that has been sown and now taken root in Ukraine is being ALLOWED to happen. The people that have the power and wherewithal to fight and repel these unspeakable horrors against our fellow humans but are SITTING IDLY BY are ACCESSORIES after the fact. Shame is not even close to the proper term for them but frankly;

SHAME ON ALL OF US. THIS IS GODDAMN DISGUSTING, EARTH.

I'm sick to hear that "country X won't send tanks to Ukraine in order not to escalate." Please, listen to us: it is putin, not Western tanks, who escalates & for that he needs no reason. Understanding of this will come to Western leaders at the expense of thousands of our lives

A few countries sent us tanks, Slovakia gave air & missile defence &... guess what? No WW3! Why? Because putin is bluffing at this stage. But the more weaknesses the leaders of the Western world display, the more realistic russian attack becomes in the future.Bully fears strength

At 102 @BenFerencz is the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor. “I am heartbroken” at atrocities in Ukraine, he says. “To see it happening again, very similar, kids being shot, homes being blown up, it pains me to see we have learned so little from the Holocaust & from the trials”
