@William Whitman:

I have said nothing about Putin, but you appear to be having fantasy hallucinations.

Do you think that Russian war crimes outweigh Ukrainian war crimes?

Beyond that, I shared the starting point for my assessment of the Ukraine mess in a reply to Seth here:

John, Russia is sort of legendary for her war crimes, is she not? Do you think Ukrainian war crimes outweigh Russian war crimes? Russia has committed war crimes ever since invading Ukrainian borders. To Putin’s evident surprise, the Ukrainians have fought back. Not sure what ‘war crimes’ Ukrainians might be committing against aggressors on Ukrainian soil that would outweigh the initial aggression. Please explain.

Meredith Russell, first of all is a proven example of "Big Lie" propaganda being used to brainwash the American people:

Second is the case of Zelensky openly lying when a Ukrainian anti-missile landed and exploded in Poland: Zelensky claimed that it was a Russian missile. The U.S. news media has, over and over, been uncritically retailing Ukrainian propaganda lies about Russia targeting civilians, covering up the damage to Ukrainian cities done by Ukrainian anti-missiles that miss their targets.
