i ignore most of what i see/hear from 'our free press' about russia as propaganda by state actors for their purposes, but the rest of this article is fully on point, as the hypocrisy displayed by the empire brings to mind that when you point a finger at another there are three or four pointing back at you;

Currently in the Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is carrying out atrocious acts of war in which 1,400 men, women and children have been killed. Millions of Ukrainians have lost their homes, their careers and have been displaced — turned into refugees, overnight. Many parts of the country have been reduced to rubble and it will take years to rebuild — even if the war ended tomorrow.

On top of the 1,400 deaths, another 2,000 have been injured and that list is growing by the day. By all definitions, Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. This much is clear and most everyone would agree. Rightfully so, millions of people are demanding justice for Ukraine.

But something peculiar happens when we examine these calls for justice and the desire to hold war criminals accountable for their actions. If you truly support the cause for war criminals to be held accountable, then you must remain consistent in this inclination. Unfortunately, however, the overwhelming majority of people calling for Putin to be held accountable for war crimes, are egregiously inconsistent.

Last month, President Joe Biden called Putin a war criminal, and as pointed out above, this is correct. But if Biden were truly interested in accountability for war criminals, he would turn himself into the International Criminal Court in The Hague, for immediate prosecution.

But Biden is not interested in accountability and the US, just like Russia, does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. This is because justice is not the point, demonization of Russia and out political enemies is the point.

The propaganda behind the well-deserved demonization of Russia is so thick that it has blinded the West from seeing the very well documented war crimes committed by their own governments.

Journalist Julian Assange pointed out some of these war crimes by releasing the “Collateral Murder” video through WikiLeaks. We had video evidence of the United States targeting and murdering civilians — including two Reuters journalists — and the only one whose been arrested is Assange, who has been tortured in isolation for years for exposing these crimes..........read and watch more......
