He's like Lady MacBeth, or perhaps Vlad Dracul AKA Vlad the Impaler.

Exactly. I sure don't know what can be done about him, but given the number of heads of state that are allies of Ukraine, you would think someone could think of something. The sanctions are working and the latest sanctions will work even better. The bad thing is it's hurting the Russian people who don't seem to want this war any more than we do. But the killing and the atrocities have to stop. If we don't, in a short time, people will ask, "why didn't they do something?" Just as we ask now about WWII. I don't want another world war - maybe China and India could be convinced that Russia - more particularly, Putin - just isn't worth it and they could join the allies. Well, it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?

Yet Putin would have his own people believe these are False Flag operations -- perhaps with Ukrainians bombing their own for Western media coverage. How horrifying and tragic that a large number of Russian citizens seem to be believing the State TV accounts of the war.

Btw, "Child Abuse" appeared in The Week today, if you hadn't seen it. You're on a roll!
