Satellite photos show that the dead were there when the Russians were there.

That said, we have multiple videos now of Russians shooting civilians. I recall at least 4 incidences, none justified. And nothing whatsoever like Iraq or Afghanistan.

Someone who is willing to gun down an unarmed civilian for walking on the street would shoot someone in the back of the head or rape if it suits him.

With respect to corruption, all signals I see indicate that Russia is significantly worse than Ukraine.

Horrifying, om (the RedState link). And these things were published in Russia, where at this point nobody publishes without approval of the regime.

Katyn2 was just the preview. Vlad has big plans for what used to be Ukraine?

Never heard so much concern about corruption. Taken as normal, as acceptable, as part of doing business in other countries, worth a joke or two…..
Suddenly….corruption is a BIG DEAL and we can have peace if the Ukes fess up to having been corrupt. Or, if we don’t have peace, we can justify leaving them out to dry. Or if Putin isn’t mollified by the Ukes’ abject confessions…it’s their own damn’ fault for giving Biden and crew a lot of money which became an issue all of a sudden about six weeks ago.
Jeebus. Visualize transparency.

While we wait for the next shoe to drop on the House of Biden, we watch Ukraine reap its own bitter harvest. The question was posed whether or not those meting out the punishment are directly motivated by Ukrainian corruption. This is like asking what motivates winds and solar flares. On the long journey of many lifetimes, fortunate are those who can own the karma they created for themselves with equanimity. Everyone does this eventually. It’s only a question of how many lifetimes it takes.

Today is the day for Ukraine to (1) be honest about the corruption and (2) defend the nation by accepting terms that bring peace. The success of #2 would be greatly enhanced by #1. The harshness of dishonesty karma knows no limit. If you manage to temporarily assuage it by crying woe are we, an unpaid balance will carry into the future.

Meanwhile, we hope that passivity in the face of Democrat corruption does not bring a passive (“mostly peaceful”) end to our own republic.

Walk and chew gum; Brandon and his family are at best corrupt leftist crooks and Vlad is, well, at best, a murderous despot.

But, but, but NATO.

JimNorCal:

Genocide, look it up. It isn’t in Hunter’s laptop. And is Vlad consulting Hunter’s laptop.

Just a few examples of genocide to save you the trouble of having to delve deep into those old timey days.

om: JimNorCal doesn’t remember Cambodia or Rwanda. Or even condider the Uighurs.

om has forgotten that you check the contents of Hunter’s laptop before classifying it as “Russian disinformation”.
Just kidding. om doesn’t make coherent arguments, they just act belligerent and disagreeable. Mission accomplished, om.

Here’s a contrarian view of the case from the ever-cheerful Jim Kunstler:
