        The Ukrainian president accused the two officials of failing to do their duty and protect Ukraine.

        He also warned that they "will all be punished," but said he did not currently have time to deal with them.

        "Now, I do not have time to deal with all the traitors. But gradually they will all be punished," Zelensky said in his address.

                          Yep. With twenty recent years of war under our belt, one would think we'd have a better perception of rival armies.

                            This sort of dovetails with the article that said that Russia was still fighting in World War II style.

                                  Interesting but thin on credible supporting sources. Referring to David Knight Legg as an expert on energy alone undermines his argument.

                                  Putin is a KGB hood not a calculating genius to try and pull off a heist worthy of a Bond villain as the oped suggests.

                                  Sometimes an imperialist despot is just an imperialist despot. Nothing more.

                                          @George-K said in The Ukraine war thread:

                                          War crimes.

                                          Watch the entire horrific 1 minute video.

                                          Later in the thread there are ghastly pictures of bodies, bound and hooded. And one, put into what looks like a storm drain.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
