The massacre in Bucha leaves everyone stunned. Yet there are still those who sympathize with, or even defend, the poor, misunderstood Russian warmonger. Explain: After the shocking images of recent days, how can one still understand Putin?
Dead tied to the side of the road, charred, dead women’s bodies and naked, dead children’s bodies – anyone who comes across the photos circulating on social networks can’t stop shuddering. This is what Vladimir Putin’s war looks like. A shame beyond compare, nothing here can be appeased or obscured. These photos are an eternal memorial.
From now on, no more understanding for Putin!
Anyone who has not yet been dismayed by the findings of the past few days must have a strange world view. Because what is the reality here in the small suburb of Kiev cannot be rectified with a political “Yes, but you have to understand the other side in the same way”. Even if you can discuss NATO’s eastward expansion, high gas prices or past wars in the US – not now and not after this massacre. Putin has thus forfeited all understanding. Vladimir, it’s over!
It should now dawn on everyone that…
Seeing these photos, it must have dawned on the last Putin-understander that this autocrat is not a poor crook who only needs to protect himself out of fear of NATO and has just entered Ukraine out of sheer fear. Whether misjudgment or hubris (or both), this is a cowardly offensive war that spares no civilians either. It is kept purely and solely because of one man’s madness.
Russian statement is bad propaganda
For the sake of completeness, it must be said that the Russian attempt to construct a large-scale conspiracy is only making matters worse. If, after much evidence to the contrary, one still finds it plausible that the statues were “ordered” and “built” by the West, he can rest assured that the Earth is flat. Because the Russian statement is pure propaganda. And then another bad one.
What if it hit us?
Anyone who orders the slaughter of the innocent deserves no sympathy, but must be held accountable and brought before an independent war crimes tribunal. We can only count ourselves lucky that it is not our men, women and children in the pictures. If that were the case, who would find soft words for those responsible?
