Russian President Vladimir Putin should stand trial for war crimes

Images of the Bucha massacre have left many world leaders baffled, boggled, and bewildered. Shocking is an understatement. A 3-year-old girl, with visible signs of rape, can be seen. Arina's dead body is on top of 17-years old sister Veronica. The evidence speaks for itself. Women raped and set on fire. The world needs to see this. There’s another story of a 10-y.o. girl found dead with a torn vagina. It's barbaric. A few nations continue to tiptoe around Russia.

The emotional pain on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's face is clear for all to see. The strength it takes it keep control whilst everything is falling apart must be overwhelming. It's difficult comprehending what Zelenskyy might be thinking. Russians have committed War crimes all over Ukraine. There must be a special place in Hell reserved for people such as Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Decades have passed since the Second World War divided the world. Hitler's defeat, not because of unsubstantiated thoughts and prayers, came because decent people took a stand. Zelensky speaks about the Russian Army missile attack on Vinnytsya. It destroyed city infrastructure and critically injured many civilians.

U.S. President Joe Biden, after more images of the Bucha massacre emerge from Ukraine, believes Russian President Vladimir Putin should stand trial for war crimes. Biden, when asked about the imagery, said:

"You may remember I got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal. Well, the truth of the matter—you saw what happened in Bucha...He is a war criminal. But we have to gather the information."

Biden, mainly because Republicans can't stand a Democrat president being on the right side of history, is criticised for telling the truth. Former President Donald J. Trump lied the entire time he was in office and Republicans loved him for it. Evil supports evil. There is nothing Christian in encouraging evil acts of barbarism. The truth shall set you free. It's clear Republicans have no intention of standing with Ukraine on anything. GOP representatives would rather talk about a border wall that will never happen.

Finding a way toward diplomacy is preferable to mass destruction. Would British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's words apply here?

“You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth."

Russians, acting the same way they did after the Second World War, have shown themselves to be complete degenerates. The United Nations was created at the conclusion of the Second World War to help stop future conflicts of that nature. Hundreds of civilians murdered by Russian soldiers. It looks like scenes from a Hollywood produced horror movie. A Ukrainian describes the Russian Army's massacres of civilians:

Many people in Bucha children's camp were discovered with their hands tied behind their backs. Everyone was tortured. Russia, without any doubt, should be permanently excluded from the international community.

Multiple gunshots to the head were readily apparent. Numerous bodies are carried out of the children's camp basement. It's clear, in the aftermath, this lone dog is looking for his people. This is horrifying.

Right-wing Putin supporters, when talking about the Bucha massacre, will employ the following talking points:

  • It never happened.
  • They were Nazis. They consequently deserved it.
  • They were crisis actors.
  • What didn't happen to all the Nazis who deserved it/crisis actors who pretended was on the site of a biolab.
  • What about Iraq.

Bombing of civil infrastructure, houses, hospitals, and refugee centres. War crimes, inclusive of rapes, looting, and executions. Genocide is clearly part of the Russian agenda. Nuclear threats: both nukes intimidation and shelling of nuclear plants.

Thousands of people are lying under the rubble. Ukraine, for at least another century, will not forgive these actions. It feels like the normalisation of mass murder. Why? What are you hiding? The international community knows the truth!
