Vice President Kamala Harris laid it on the line while attending a European security conference in Munich, Germany.
She has accused Russian goon/strongman/thug Vladimir Putin of committing “crimes against humanity” while waging the immoral and illegal war against Ukraine.
There you have it. The VPOTUS put it on the record. She is correct to call Putin what he clearly has been. A war criminal!
What in the world will the great powers gathered in Munich going to do about it? For my money, and I’ve said this already, Putin needs to stand trial for the crimes the troops under his command have committed against Ukrainians.
The International Court appears to have sufficient evidence against Putin to put this monstrous leader on trial.
He has ordered the shelling of hospitals, schools and houses of worship. Ukrainians have dug up mass graves containing the remains of women, children and men who clearly were not able to participate in battles on the field.
This individual, Putin, has targeted civilians in a strategy that clearly violates treaties signed that govern the conduct of modern war.
Does that make him a war criminal? Uhhh … yeah! It damn sure does!
The supposed vaunted Russian military machine has been anything but the fearsome machine Putin and his henchmen thought they were commanding. They have learned the bitterest lesson possible, which is that people whose national sovereignty is threatened will fight to the death, which the Ukrainians have done as they have turned back the Russian onslaught.
A war that was deemed to be a cakewalk when Putin invaded Ukraine a year ago has now turned into an epic quagmire. What’s more, Putin has committed multiple crimes against humanity in an effort to get the Ukrainians to surrender.
The Ukrainian armed forces are having none of it.
Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, should be in leg irons and locked up.
