New York Times and Russya: Currently

       Well, what do you know? An editorial from America's 'Old Grey Lady' suggests to the leaders of the West that sanctions are not enough: individuals who are responsible for the invasion must be held to account. Not just Mad Vlad, but the military leaders who give orders. They point to one of Japan's infamous leaders, Yamashita, whose troops inflicted unprecedented brutalities on the civilian populations in territories they invaded. After a trial, he was summarily hung by the neck until dead. Editorial opinion did not specifically call for 'hanging until dead' for the perps, but offered a path of accountability for these Russyans.

         Remember the Romanovs? Hmmmm. Yes, the Soviet takeover in /after the 1917 revolution included the murder of the surviving members of the formerly royal family somewhere in a dark basement where they were sat down and executed by a number of Bolsheviks.  Then the bodies were burned. Sound familiar? It should as more reports come from Ukraine indicating that Russyan soldiers are continuing tactics that have been part of the Russyan military mindset for over a century. When in doubt, murder civilians, create terror, withhold all semblance of humanitarian treatment of those helpless individuals caught up in the invasion of an independent country by a force directed by a megalomaniac situate in the Kremlin a long way away.

       Graphic video images are now finding their way around the world. The horrific images of the innocent dead are being considered evidence; evidence of criminal acts for which the leaders will be held accountable. Such as : General Gerasimov; Gen. Shoigu, the Tiger of the Steppe, Valery Peskov, Sergei Raskov, and others down the line of authority among the army units in Ukraine. The soldiers of Ukraine, while under equiped, are performing brilliantly, defeating tank-led Russyan units by the score. How bewildered are these Russyan troops who were told that this "special military operation would be over in a few days. The untrained children were aghast at the resistance. They were confused, lost, scared and didn't want to continue against these heroic fighters.  What were they told and by whom?  The old soldiers, cronies of the Kremlin elite and the FSB. Maybe they will defect; maybe they'll go to China, or Syria, or even the Central African republic-a foreign base of ops for Russyan soldiers working for the WAgner Group of mercenaries. Hmmmm. Tsk, tsk. Raz Putin miscalculated, again.
