BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — There is a body in the basement of the abandoned yellow home at the end of the street, near the railroad tracks. The man is young, pale, a dried trickle of blood by his mouth, shot to death, and no one knows why the Russians brought him there, to a home that wasn’t his.
There is a pile of toys near the stairs to the basement. Plastic clothespins sway on an empty line under a cold, gray sky. They are all that’s left of normal on this blackened end of the street in Bucha, where tank treads lay stripped from charred vehicles, civilian cars are crushed, and ammunition boxes are stacked beside empty Russian military rations and liquor bottles.
The man in the basement is almost an afterthought, one more body in a town where death is abundant, but satisfactory explanations for it are not.
A resident, Mykola Babak, points out the man after pondering the scene in a small courtyard nearby. Three men lay there. One is missing an eye. On an old carpet near one body, someone has placed a handful of yellow flowers.
A dog paces by a wheelbarrow around the corner, agitated. The wheelbarrow holds the body of another dog. It has been shot, too.
Babak stands, a cigarette in one hand, a plastic bag of cat food in the other.
“I’m very calm today,” he says. “I shaved for the first time.”
At the beginning of their monthlong occupation of Bucha, he said, the Russians kept pretty much to themselves, focused on forward progress. When that stalled, they went house to house looking for young men, sometimes taking documents and phones. Ukrainian resistance seemed to be wearing on them. The Russians seemed angrier, more impulsive. Sometimes they seemed drunk.

If I had to sum up the view of the average non-Russian, non-pan-Slav, non-Orthodox American Putin supporter, it's probably: "I have no illusions that he’s my friend, but he’s definitely the enemy of my enemies." The problem is that Putin would certainly agree with his American supporters' domestic enemies that they're a bunch of filthy racists. This is from Putin's mouthpiece, RT.com:
Ferguson protests: lack of justice at the very fabric of US society’: The lack of civil rights, the lack of equality, the ‘ghettoization’, the institutionalization of racism are fundamental and making what is called ‘America in the 21st century’,…
Also from RT.com::
Ferguson violence: When riots are the answer: “Unfortunately, from my perspective you’re not going to solve this in a top down fashion, there needs to be social vibrant social movements that refuses to be suppressed by the media and by the police. Those social movements need to continue doing what they have been doing, THEY NEED TO GROW…
Also from RT.com::
The Ferguson riots are a confluence of circumstances, including the ghastly economics of the African American community that are driving rage into the open and triggering a larger movement in the US, … this undercurrent of rage and anger in the US, at the government and at the institutions of the US for many, many years. There is a long and rich history of this sort of fighting back against police brutality,…over the murders of young black and brown people for decades.
Guess where this one's from?
Africans in the USA never got a slice of the pie, and now Blacks in poor communities are expected to remain calm while the very same state which exploited them, now guns down Black people in the street with complete impunity. Black Americans have every right to resist, defend themselves and fight what is quite simply, the ongoing colonization and social control of Black people in America.
Whaddya know, another one from RT.com:
Today, as we see Ferguson we see African-Americans coming out to the street saying "We are not going to the back of the bus on this police brutality issue." A recent study has shown that every 28 hours a black male in the US is killed by the police somewhere.

Americans should be careful about throwing this label around; while Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos may be past an imaginary “statute of limitations”, plenty of people in our government today were involved in killing far more civilians in Serbia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Excuse me Xi, your Ukraine ping list is going over like the Hindenburg. Maybe the war is over? Time to focus on America.

ICYMI William Tecumseh Sherman was a war criminal and he can still kiss my ass.
Cut him some slack...the OP was going for a humor-break.
You only post articles from NPR when you want to get laughed off the forum.
Just curious how it works for you.

Shill and slobber this... NPR boy.
The history we learned was, "Those Japanese just refused to surrender, darn it! That's why 99% of them died."
I think he’s David Brooks. NPR’s ‘house conservative’

Evidence that Ukraine train station cluster bomb attack was false flag done to drag NATO into the war
Video goes through these cluster bomb rockets, who owns them, who uses them, down to details, chapter and verse.
Notably, it’s the same Scarab-U cluster bomb rocket fired into downtown Donetsk by the Ukes last March, killing pro-Russian civilians.
