Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse in Ukraine and then yesterday I think we all saw that horrific footage of dead Ukrainians of the town of Bucha, and with their hands tied behind their backs, shot in the head. These utter monstrosities lie at the front door of Putin’s office. He is absolutely responsible for these crimes against humanity just as Hitler's attempted genocide against the Jews during 1939 - to 1945! Last week there was the story of gang rapes, assaults against Ukrainian women taking place at gunpoint, and what is most hellish, rapes of mothers in front of their children. And at the end of the day, Vlad the Mad Putin is ultimately responsible for these barbarous atrocities. Which is why the West needs to gather all circumstantial evidence and officially report it to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. When it eventually reaches the court, God knows what would happen next, but one thing’s for sure, the insane Russian leader will ignore it. What should happen next?
I won’t go into specific details but a criminal action against someone - in this case Putin - would cover preliminary examinations where the case against Putin would be put. This would be followed by more investigations, a pre-trial stage, a trial stage and then enforcement of the sentence. When looking at the ICC, it seems to mirror the Nuremberg trials which were held by the Allies after World War II against representatives of defeated Nazi Germany. This was for plotting and carrying out invasions of other countries and other crimes, including the Holocaust. Hitler - Putin, two peas in the same pod! And the outcome of the trials? Some of the defendants were given life sentences in prison and others were hanged. I ask myself which sentence would I opt for Putin? Definitely by hanging!
I’ll end this blog by reporting on the BBC journalist in Ukraine, Jeremy Bowen. In his latest report that I watched this morning, he interviewed this old lady who had lost her son after Russian soldiers burst into her house and shot dead her 27-year-old son. This was in a small village close to Kyiv but it was the small pile of remains of food and drink that caught my eye. And within the small pile of garbage, there was rotten food, empty cigarette packs and empty bottles of vodka and Jack Daniel’s whisky. I would imagine the Russian animals were pissed out of their heads on alcohol before the killing. And knowing how much the Russians love alcohol, I just wonder how many more of been pissed drunk whilst carrying out shootings and cold-blooded murder!
