Putin and his ilk want Ukraine eliminated as a nation as well as its' people. Stories like this might wake more people to the brutal reality. Russia will stop only when confronted with a superior force. Then, if and when Russia stops, Ukraine must be forever vigilant to maintain the necessary strength so this never happens again.

Trump wishes he could be this brutal.

(69,132 posts)Putin is like a serial killer, he always leaves his calling card at a crime.
He wants every one to know he was the torturer and killer.
Trump is the same way. He commits his crimes right out in the open.
Yes they are both ruthless psychopaths and quite dangerous.
They will torture and kill as many people as it takes to get what they want.
Power, control, wealth. And to terrorize everyone.
Yes they are our mortal enemies.

(15,171 posts)The genocide of Ukrainian people aka the Holodomor, killed millions.. The incessant meat wave attacks in the war with Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of dead. They just don't care. If they can send a message to scare journalists into not printing the truth so be it. Any way they can get their way.
This is the way of the dictator..tRump wants to be this kind of dictator. Rule thru fear.
