What a deflection. Pointing out the massive crimes against humanity that putin's Russia is now committing is in no way "demonizing" them...it's just keeping the obvious truth at the forefront. Russia hasn't done anything new here...for Russia. The targeting of civilian populations, hospitals, clinics, marketplaces, schools, and shelters has been option 1 for Russia for decades now.

Another false claim; that Russia must be defeated or humiliated for their war on Ukraine to end. There is only ONE necessary condition for that to happen and that condition is for Russia to stop MAKING war on Ukraine. As we so often told LBJ, "just declare victory and get out!"

putin controls the media in Russia, making and selling that claim will be relatively easy, far easier than forcing the ethnic minorities under the control of the Moscow regime into deadly combat in a nation that has NO relevance to any legitimate concern of theirs and NO relevance to Russian security.
