The renovated SF War Memorial today
On October 24, 1945, right here in San Francisco - some astute and stellar diplomats - sat down and signed the United Nations Charter at the San Francisco - War Memorial.
Few remember this day - a day that gave some HOPE that we world citizens - would not witness - what we are seeing today in Ukraine.
Civilians - are being targeted - bombs and missiles trained on infants and children, residential buildings - atrocities prohibited by the U.N. Charter. All this and more by Russia - a member of the United Nations with veto power - as does France, China, the United States, and Britain.
President Zelenskyy has committed to fighting the Russians and winning. It is a shame that the first thing the United States offered President Zelenskyy was safety passage. President Zelenskyy asked for ammunition, not a ride. Since then, the Ukrainians have fought a good fight and defeated the Russians. The Russians have chosen to rape women, kill children, and commit atrocities against the Elders. Bomb locations where civilians shelter - showing the world that Vladimir Putin and his henchmen are cowards and losers.
When the Moskva was destroyed by two Ukrainian missiles - Vladamir Putin had nothing much to say - most of the sailors - at the bottom of the Black Sea. All sorts of fake photographs - pretending none of the sailors - were dead.
The United States has provided Javeline handheld missiles - drones capable of taking down Russian tanks, helicopters that can provide much-needed support in the sky, other sophisticated communication support, long-range missiles, etc.
This war that could have been stopped on the second day - has been allowed to take a long drawn out - failing - outcome - that the best minds who understand military planning - are astounded, perplexed, confused, and bewildered.
The courts that deal with genocide - have policies that need empirical data - others must do the heavy lifting - we saw this in the case of Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and so on.
As far as Ukraine is concerned, we have the empirical data; we have the real-time crimes committed by the rogue Russians.
In fact, the Russians have left their own soldiers to rot on the battlefield. Russian leaders have been known to turn against their own people - it runs in their DNA.
The Russian Army ragtag army - can only bully civilians, rape young girls young at fourteen and fifteen - this is a shame, and Vladimir Putin - must be made responsible for this and more.
Vladimir Putin, his inner circle, his entire family must be impaled at a plaza - so all can see the pain - Vladimir Putin and his henchmen - have inflicted - on Ukraine and decent world citizens.
