Astonishing. Sad. Mad. There they go again. Killing on genocide scales while the world looks on. Just goes to prove again how morality is a misnomer.

Agree, but Putin knows that NATO cannot fight in Ukraine and that the Americans are too wrapped up in their own pathetic squabbles. I would bet that 80% of Americans have no idea where Ukraine is. The biggest mistake the world made was letting Putin get away with the annexation of Crimea. He is a megalomaniac, psychopathic bully!
