The more the public hears about these horrors, the more committed they will be to support Ukraine’s efforts to defeat Russia, and the more turned off and disgusted they will be by the Trump family and supporters who would not protect Ukraine from Russian aggression at all. Pelosi put her finger on this years ago during Trump’s presidency. I believe her words were, “With Trump, all roads lead to Putin.”
What I don’t see in the news is enough exposure of the deportation of Ukrainians to filtration camps, where men may be tortured and killed, while women and children are dispersed to faraway places in Russia, with many children taken away and put up for adoption into Russian families.
The numbers can’t yet be accurately known. Timothy Snyder speaks of deportations amounting to 3 million? Russia claims 2.6 million Ukrainians have moved to Russia, implying absurdly, in my take on this, that they wanted to go
Thank you! I want those of us who are paying attention to what is happening to keep a close eye on this particular subject, because it highlights the bottomless arrogance and cruelty of how Russia conducts its war.
I noted that the execrable sedition caucus representatives (MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Massie, etc.) sat there stone-faced, with no applause whatsoever, as President Zelensky spoke. They are beyond and beneath contempt.
True, though I should not have even included Massie, because that classless buffoon didn't even show up for the speech (ditto the Cowardly Seditionist, Josh Hawley).
"However" before reading this fine article, I worry that Bella Russe will be used as a lauching ground to attack Kiev--to send drones and whatever lethal missiles Putin dares to use. Oh, how I wish a few Patriot missiles could be installed to protect Ukraine against this possibility...now! And, I LOVE the military mascot furred in gorgeous camouflage colors.
Commentators agreed that until UKR has 'offensive' weaponry, they will NOT make progress - UKR must push Russia OUT of UKR - and that takes more fire power with longer distance accompanied by JETS in the air. Just my observation BUT I do agree.
Canada fielded 8% of it's population for WW!, and 10% for WW2 - overseas. This means Ukraine should field at least 4,000,000 trained fighters. Putin wants to increase his unwilling forces to less than half that.
Ukrainians, well educated, combat trained, experienced, and well led should be the first goal.
Excellent article once again.
I find it pathetic that DonJr. criticized Zelensky for not wearing a suit.
Doesn't he know that a suit does not make a man. Republicans have a lot of empty suits.
Don Jr. is just like his father, only he's dumber and less politically astute.

numbers unverified. Russian-speaking Ukrainians may have taken advantage of incentives to leave. Ukraine says many children have been abducted

Horrifying. Must continue to expose this sadistic move.

Well, when you are on Putin's payroll...
True, though I should not have even included Massie, because that classless buffoon didn't even show up for the speech (ditto the Cowardly Seditionist, Josh Hawley).
The Putin supporters in congress and in the rightwing media had hissy fits
good
Hard to believe Putin has not been removed. Then Russia brutal dictatorship since Lenin. Seems in the bloodstream
