this denunciation or russia by the empire is beyond funny in light of what the empire's actions have been since the war to defeat hitler. so what it says is that shock and awe is fine when we do it but when you do its a crime. hypocrisy is the trademark of the empire;

The US on Monday condemned the "utter brutality" of Russian president Vladimir Putin for conducting a US-style "Shock and awe" bombing campaign in Ukraine.

Russia struck dozens of military and infrastructure targets early Monday in retaliation for Ukraine's bombing of the Crimean bridge.

Joe Biden said the strikes showed "the utter brutality of Mr. Putin's illegal war on the Ukrainian people."

"These attacks only further reinforce our commitment to stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes," Biden said. "Alongside our allies and partners, we will continue to impose costs on Russia for its aggression, hold Putin and Russia accountable for its atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support necessary for Ukrainian forces to defend their country and their freedom."......more..........
