Calling for Putin to be tried as a war criminal is of course correct but the chances of him facing the court in The Hague is nil! Putin has no interest in what any other country says he is well beyond any rational or human behaviour. The West can shout and scream all they like but until they get out from under their own fear and realise that they have to face him head on, he will continue to do whatever he wants. I understand and hate the idea of a full blown conflict with Russia, the unimaginable danger it could spark is too horrific to contemplate but little that has been done to his regime has not stopped his relentless killing! So we have two choices either we leave them to their fate and do nothing more or we confront him? I suspect we will do the former we are too scared to do anything else!
If we had allowed Ukraine to join NATO then Putin would never have annexed the Crimea, let alone launched an invasion. He does not recognise Ukraine as a country he sees it as an occupied part of Russia.
I would not want to see a single NATO soldier killed, I don’t want to see another Ukrainian (or Russian) killed. The atrocities now being reported are reminders of the cruel and inhuman nature of war and how it escalates beyond any “normal” human behaviour. It has to stop and unfortunately short of the Ukrainian forces winning, there is only one way it can be ended!
Stay well
