The current genocide taking place by Russia and Belarus, and their allies that support the genocide, in Ukraine is a clear demonstration of the lack of human rights that exist in communist countries. This level of killing of human beings, innocent civilians, cannot be tolerated. This must be brought into the light of the United Nations and it has to be a high priority in any and all reforms needed.

The West remembers WWII.  They remember all the pain, suffering and sacrifice of the military during that war. The Nuremburg Trials are still fresh in our memories. 

We included Russia and China in a paradigm of economic growth to allow for developing free market policies that can move an entire population of a once oppressed country to higher standards of living. The problem as it exists today is that all that inclusiveness with The West never changed the communists. They still have a two tier system of the elite/wealthy and the poor. China has been developing a Middle Class, but, to what end? To be our enemy?

The communists are screwed up and don't allow freedom of speech. Their people are oppressed and they like it that way. If The West hasn't learned that lesson and expects peace to spring out of the ground they sowed, then their efforts were for naught. The West was better off leaving the oppression exist and allowing the communists to die of attrition.

Genocide cannot be tolerated. I cannot believe in the year 2022, in the 21st century, this is occurring. How did Russia ever believe the world would look the other way?
