Putin’s Mariupol Massacre is one of the 21st century’s worst war crimes

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.

I’ll live that answer up to others. But I can answer this, who is evil? It’s the person who started this bloody war. It’s Putin.

I say that with no joy. Before the invasion I was quite sympathetic to Russian concerns over NATO’s expansion. But that sympathy disappeared the instant Putin crossed an international border and started killing people.

Side note: By his very actions, Putin is a war criminal. And the same goes with George W. Bush regarding Iraq. War criminals come in many flavors.

Exactly— look for Paul Niland’s photo with the illustrious Evelyn Farkas (a@@) who tried to run for NY Congress for Nita Lowey’s vacated perpetual seat— and failed. The BIG mouthed Farkas who let fly the entire Russia Russia hoax.

The Atlantic Council is one of the NGO’s who benefited from fired Ambassador Voyanovitch’s “approval” for USAID money— which they kicked back to the DNC— 10% for the big a@@hole.
Through their partner— Burisma. Yes indeedie. Keep the billions coming for the kickback to finance the grifter’s party.

What a crock of hyperbolic crap! There is a war going on, and this is a natural result of war. The West pushed this crap in the first place, and I do not blame the Russians for putting their foot down. The Ukrainians decided to hold the city rather than fight their way out of the city much earlier. Doo doo happens.

Now that the Azov Nazi scum have been removed and the eternal flame relit, Mariupol is slowly coming back to life.

Water and electric service is being restored, a regional police force is in place, clean up crews and food distribution centers are being organized, schools are open for an extended semester...even four lines of local bus service have resumed running.

The effete homo-globalists at the Atlantic Council and their useful idiots better get used to having their dreams destroyed as the map of Ukraine gets redrawn.

“Nazis….Nazis everywhere!”

No. There are not Nazis EVERYWHERE. But you are a nut if you do not recognize that there are Nazis in some places. Like the Ukraine.

You sound like those stupid black people who are still whining about 1619 and slavery, to explain why their neighborhoods are mostly crap places and they are doing so poorly. Never mind that whole 80% illegitimate birth thingy over the last few decades or the whole black kids acting like monkeys in school and not doing their homework so they will not be accused of acting white. You see, black’s problems are that they are NOT living in 2022.

The same is true of you! You are not living in 2022. You are stuck back there in the 1960s and the Strategic Air Command being able to launch every B-52 in less than 12 seconds or whatever.

Wake the F**K UP! It is 2022 and the Cold War ended back in the 80s. BUT, our Military Industrial Complex needs an ongoing ENEMY to keep the trillions of bucks flowing, just like they need the Black-Folks-Are-Helpless-Victims-Of-Racism bullsh*t to keep the trillions of bucks flowing to the Welfare State.

You need to pull your head out of your A$$ and live in 2022.
