Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Russia Ukraine conflict: Mass graves discovered amid new claims of war crimes on eastern border" video.

I'm coming in at 9:00 just to say that the extreme cruelty of the Russian troops is baffling. I live 2,000 kilometers from Kiev. I am a 15 minute walk frpm the border with France. It is unfathonable to imagine that people from a border country, with a lot of them having relatives in the invaded country, could perpetrate such heinous acts on what is essentially their neighbors. What sort of person could change into a cold blooded killer overnight like that the minute they are wearing a uniform? The story of the boy and his dad I will carry to my grave. The Russians shot the boy's dad who had come to them point blank the minute he looked away with his hands up. Then a soldier shot the boy, shot him again, and shot him again through the head--or so he thought--and then wandered off. The boy had managed to miss getting hit in the body or head because of a hood; he got up when the soldier went behind a tank and ran for cover. Can any of us imagine what that boy has to live with the rest of his life? Also; how could he ever view his neighbors with anything but hate from now on? This is what is the great tragedy; these were neighboring nations who many times spoke the same language. Can any of us ever come to grips with what an authoritarian regime does to people's minds let alone what it is capable of doing to innocent civilians? The human species has never evolved is all I can think of. Deep hatred can turn to mass murder with the pull of a trigger and the firing of a tank gun. Cities can be destroyed in a fortnight by the rockets from an attack helicopter, the buzz of a super-sonic cruise missile and pounded to rubble by artillery batteries firing endlessly into city centers. We're sickened seeing these images covered by courageous journalists who will never erase many of the images they have seen of people lying in the streets, hands tied behind their backs and a bullet hole in the back of their heads. War bends the minds of men and women; dictators give them a green flag and medals. NATO and its allies rub their hands together and shake their heads and send a new shipment of arms. This war shows us we need to break some rules to save our souls.

Tobias Elwood ( I hope I have spelled his name correctly ) is finally showing some backbone that all of us have but all of us are petrified to admit. Tobias paints a picture of what it will take to win and his assessment of what needs to be done to save Odessa should be first on the list. When the UK and its allies do push into first gear and enter the conflict, this is what I think Putin has been longing for all along. And we had better be prepared for a new sort of weapons system that will be put into use. I think we had also realize that China, India and Brazil and Syria are waiting in the wings for marching orders. Our one hope is that we all accept that we have to fight this battle for the well-being of the human community.

@reynardfoxx6753 GGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. How I gather my data determines my analyses, and I'm sure it's the same with you. Ask 6 economists about the state of the economy and you'll get answers 6 ways from Sunday. Everyone has their sources on what the Russians have or don't have, but what no one has is solid proof. Not yet.
