BUCHA -- The name of this city is already synonymous with the month-long carnage that Russian soldiers perpetrated here.

But the scale of the killings and the depravity with which they were committed is only just becoming apparent as police, local officials and regular citizens start the grim task of clearing Bucha of the hundreds of corpses decomposing on streets and in parks, apartment buildings and other locations.

As a team from the district prosecutor's office moved slowly through Bucha on Wednesday, investigators uncovered evidence of torture before death, beheading and dismemberment, and the intentional burning of corpses.

All the while they pretend that this is a war between the UKRAINE and Russia.

When in reality its just an extension of the Obama doctrine which effectively equates to RUSSIA BAD!!!

It is indeed a yuge tragedy that Vlad the Dim has sent so many Russian and non-Russian boys to be massacred in his senseless war.

The awful leadership of the West was continually pushing Putin to this so what other option did he have at this point? This was the inevitable conclusion of terrible foreign policy of the Obama team.

Sit back while the West continually sucks the life out of the country and seed another coup?

But like I said - THis will all change when the corrupt Western Oligarchy is out of power. Russia is a natural ally as they share common core values with America. Just need bad leaders like Obama/Putin to be set aside. Problem is we are ****ing up our relationship with the RUSSIAN PEOPLE while you cheer it on like a dim bulb.

Putin had a lot of choices other than invasion. Russia's oil reserves and the resulting wealth gave them the potential for enormous influence. However, Russia has never learned the art of soft power. They should be drawing in other countries into their influence using money and resources, not bullets and bombs.

It is very difficult to help stupid people. And Vlad the Dim is very dim indeed. All we can do is hope the Russians sort this out. We shouldn't be under any illusions that we can influence internal Russian politics much. As long as Vlad the Dim is in power the best we can do is contain his malign influence within Russia's borders. But I do think his actions are enormously damaging to his own country's best interests.

Drawing which countries? The ones that are slaves to the US and are now being ran by Obama's foreign policy?

Thats going to happen next. And after Russia cracks down on the obvious foreign influence we will see videos played in the west endlessly.

If Putin had played his cards differently the last 20 years or so we'd be looking at a very different Europe. Putin has always been too aggressive. Whether it's crushing Chechnya, invading Georgia, or seizing Crimea he's done little to cultivate trust in Eastern Europe. Had he approached the world with a friendly face and been a force for stability in Europe and aid across the world, Russia's position would be entirely different. Russia's influence would be greater across Eastern Europe and likely beyond. There's a chance you'd see Germany more closely aligned with Russia than the US had Putin played it right.

But that kind of influence requires keeping the door open and letting Western culture seep in. Western culture is infectious. It has a tendency to assimilate existing cultures and make them like the West. It's something that Putin fears above almost anything else.

This is a one sided story of the last twenty years and you know that.

Western culture as it stands right now is fallen. What Western culture will look like in twenty years is the model.
 
This France election is getting close.

Le Penn wins and we have a different world.

The end of the Globalist era is upon us.
 
hopefully the anti-aircraft system being sent from Slovakia is as good as Dmitri Payet's right foot
