Genocide

All those backing Putin and Russia are consenting parties if they do not descent. Life or death, there is no gray area.

The US State Department…

 …has secured the release of a dearly wonderful man by the name of Safi Rauf, CNN is reporting. He was taken by the Taliban. He was doing nothing but humanitarian work. Humanitarian work that was saving the lives of people and even improving the image of the Taliban with the people through his work. He had one problem. He was an American that served with the Navy Reserves. He had no weapons and yet was removed from his humanitarian mission for no reason because he was seen as either a threat or an opportunity. 

The lack of appreciation for his work by the Taliban has at least won him his freedom. Thank you to the US State Department for never giving up.

Communists

Their only, and I mean only, governance in international relations is to strengthen their power and make weak all others. That governance includes the use of Wall Street and the temptation of money. If Wall Street wants the USA and NATO to begin some kind, any kind of dialogue that will cement the presence of Wall Street profits in a communist governed country that is a huge weakness that will be exploited by communists until it no longer works.

Wall Streets venture into communist countries has been profitable since Nixon. Times up, as those populations of people are not long term customers. Wall Street made plenty on their ventures. Times up. Just that simple.

It doesn’t matter…

…what Putin knows or does not know, he ordered his generals to attack a neutral country and be unrelenting in the deaths of Ukrainians. Putin is the master of the dogs of war.

Why does that idea even come up? Hope to change the outcome and end this horrid episode on Earth? That is probably the most naive thing I have ever heard in my entire life.

Vladimir Putin is a killer. There is nothing else to understand.

If the world finds it easier and more convenient to live in denial, this will happen again and again. There is no agreement, treaty or convention that will stop him, so why allow it at all? 

Putin does not have to perfect governance so long as the standard that allows him to exist in his power permits him to kill at will any challenge to his ideology. Has the world not learned it’s lesson yet?

Putin is a killer and will kill all that does not please him, either with his military or agents of his power.
