Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine there has been a lot of terminologies tossed about, much of which has little meaning.
Now that Biden is in Brussels for some face-to-face encounters, I'm wondering if there will be any meat to the rhetoric that will emerge.
I doubt it. I'm convinced that Russia, China, and Ukraine all have something on Joe he does not want to be revealed. To find out what I guess you'd have to ask Hunter. Or actually investigate what is on his laptop.
That's the reason I've come up with to explain Biden's reluctance to give more help to the Ukranians. One of the terms bandied about quite a bit is that "it may lead to world war three" or another favorite, "It might be considered escalatory". This is why we've been slow to provide the aid needed and have stopped members of NATO from picking up the slack. I do wonder why Biden has veto power over the other member nations, or are they just hiding behind his reluctance so they don't have to act? Who knows. War makes strange bedfellows.
I see all of the finger-wagging and foot-dragging as war crimes too. Think about it. The Ukrainian people did nothing to invite the demolition of their country. Is not sitting by and letting it happen not a war crime?
The most recent term is that Putin has committed war crimes by targeting civilians, civilian structures, and aid routes. What do you think? Of course, he has. But, wasn't the invasion of a sovereign nation also a war crime?
Words and finger-wagging while innocent people are being annihilated is a war crime. Period. Full stop. The only innocents in this atrocity are the Ukrainian people.
