No evidence? Bwahahahahaha!

@Flyingsaucesir Oh, war crimes have occurred, on both sides. That's one of the many reasons I decry this war and call for a negotiated end. Diplomacy could have prevented this war, diplomacy could end it. There is no evidence Russia is deliberately targeting civilians, the twaddle that passes for news in the west notwithstanding.

@Druvius Diplomacy was used but unable to Keep Putin from invading. Putin does not even recognize Ukraine as a state. That kind of obviates any diplomatic overtures. Russia is firing missiles into population centers, destroying a multitude of homes and small businesses. The civilians that are killed are just collateral damage. And then there is the mult-level, multi-sourced documentation of the Russian Army massacring civilians in Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine. Where all of this is happening. Not a single shot has been fired inside Russia. Russia crossed the line. And now Putin is getting his ass handed to him. All people who love freedom are rooting for Ukraine.

It's probably going to keep going for at least another year, and probably will get worse before it gets better.

@Flyingsaucesir My daughter is in The Netherlands, her employer has an international staff. Some of her coworkers are in the Ukraine. They are required to check in via video every day. She is about 1220 miles from Kyiv, far too close for my comfort.

@HippieChick58 I believe she is safe where she is.

@Flyingsaucesir I agree, they are just much closer to the front than I would like. In fact, I'm much closer to the front than I like, but not one asked me. I remember from the late 60s seeing a banner that said "War is not healthy for every living thing."

@HippieChick58 Tru dat

Yes, this war and all wars are terrible things. NATO and Biden should be trying to end it, not prolong it.
