Putin’s Mariupol Massacre is one of the 21st century’s worst war crimes
Atlantic Council ^ | 24-MAY-2022 | Paul Niland

The Battle of Mariupol is over and Russia is busy proclaiming the liberation of the city. In reality, Mariupol has been murdered. This formerly bustling metropolis of almost half a million people now lies on the brink of extinction, pummeled into submission by a vicious campaign of Russian annihilation. The estimated 100,000 remaining residents of Mariupol find themselves reduced to living among the rubble without medicines, running water or electricity.

With Russia in control of the city, there is no way of knowing the final death toll or assessing the true scale of the catastrophe that has befallen Mariupol. During the final weeks of the fighting, Mariupol Mayor Vadim Boychenko estimated more than 20,000 civilians had been killed and noted that this was twice the number of deaths recorded in the entire two-year Nazi occupation of the city during WWII. “Putin is a bigger evil than Hitler and we must stop him,” commented Boychenko.

"Mariupol must also be remembered as one of the worst crimes against humanity of the twenty-first century. The atrocities committed by Russian troops throughout Ukraine have horrified global audiences and have sparked an international war crimes investigation along with accusations of genocide. Even in this grim context, Mariupol stands out. Putin ordered the destruction of the city despite knowing hundreds of thousands of civilians were unable to flee."

The Atlantic Council is to DC neocons, what the Vatican is to Catholics or the Reich Chancellery was to German Nazis

But, but, but there were young Ukrainian men with SS and Nazi tattoos there. The Russians keep saying the Ukrainians kill Ukrainians just to make the poor Russians look bad. The Russian zip wads are just evil.

The Russian military is coming off as completely unprofessional and undisciplined.

Anyone reading non-Necon sites knows that Azov PREVENTED civilians from leaving.

Putin is like that Soviet sub captain, “We’ve killed ourselves.”

He’s a 3rd rate punk with ambition but he brings only ruin to himself and Russia.

During the surrender of the garrison, it was revealed that the wounded were treated without anesthetics and that limbs were amputated due to lack of medical care.

So, rather than being concerned about the wounded, those in charge decided to remain rather than get them proper care. They could have brought them out under a flag of truce for medical care, but they did not.

War is a terrible thing, but who is unprofessional and undisciplined?

Can this be independently verified any more than the claims of Ukrainian victory?

According the Russian supporting chuckleheads around here there are more Nazis in Ukraine in 2022 than there were in Berlin in 1942.

“Anyone reading non-Necon sites knows that Azov PREVENTED civilians from leaving.”

And yet the Russians knew it and blew them up anyway.

Care to explain that?

The Russian military has ALWAYS been unprofessional and undisciplined.

“”Mariupol must also be remembered as one of the worst crimes against humanity of the twenty-first century.”

The century is still young.

NO- It is NOT the worst. And they cannot make it so by saying it.

Try the massacre of 65K Uyghurs in a Mongolian border prison camp. Who were killed testing the Chi-Com Covid 19 lab created coronavirus. Their bodies were all burned and US surveillance satellites documented the sulphur dioxide smoke plume and applied the burned body count from Bangladesh’s typhoon which killed a million people (a large number of which were buried and satellite data cross referenced to the Uyghur numbers).

Prior to the covid operation, this information was disclosed and not widely circulated in the press naturally— in December of 2019. There are FReepers here who have no doubt stored the reports- which were bleached off the net at the start of the Covid 19 operation to force mail in ballots- and the ensuing false diagnosis, testing and hospital death diagnosis (federally subsidized for the diagnosis- a profit center for hospital census). As to that- all should read the history—Johns Hopkins (not CDC), and also note the same operation is desperately being re-started for a “new” 1958 noted “bug” that has no morbidity whatsoever.

One of many reasons, that the West needs to make sure that Putin doesn’t win this war and is discouraged from ever doing something like this again.

This is a pattern with Putin and his appetite is getting bigger over time.
