We are entering a new cold war.
Whatever the President of the United States says is international news. He was being questioned by the the U.S. press and said the words "Yes, I think he is a war criminal."
It is official, President Joe Biden says that the Russian president Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. After the arm chair generals and Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy were pressing Biden to say it, the president acknowledged the latest incidents as war crimes.

Two American press members were killed.
A maternity hospital was bombed.
Citizens are being shot dead in the streets.
That is pretty much a war crime on point.
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin as a war criminal, a rare show of unity in the deeply divided Congress.
The resolution, introduced by South Carolina Republican Senator Karen Graham and backed by senators of both parties, encouraged the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague and other nations to target the Russian military in any investigation of war crimes committed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The U.S. wants to keep Ukraine in their hearts. |
Russia will dismiss the ICC just like the U.S.
World leaders wanted George W. Bush to face criminal charges at the ICC for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I bet you money that Graham and Republicans fought tooth and nail to keep the ICC from entering the United States.
When Washed Up 45 threatened to shoot migrants for crossing the U.S.-Mexican border, the ICC saw that and considered recommendations to charge him. Graham opposed it.
Also Graham stood in the way of the ICC when it came to Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett and their war crimes against those in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Indiana's U.S. Representative Karen Spartz, the only Ukrainian-American in Congress, and Graham held a news conference on their resolution amid debate in the U.S. Congress about how best to support Ukraine, including plans to approve billions of dollars in humanitarian and military aid for the Kyiv government in the wake of the Russian invasion.
"All of us in this chamber joined together, with Democrats and Republicans, to say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape accountability for the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people," Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.
Russia calls its actions a "special military operation" to demilitarise and "denazify" Ukraine. Putin has also called the country a U.S. colony with a puppet regime and no tradition of independent statehood.
Moscow has not captured any of the 10 biggest cities in the country following its incursion that began on Feb. 24, the largest assault on a European state since 1945.
