The images we've seen coming out of Bucha and other towns the Russians occupied and are leaving paint a pretty clear picture, ong. The Russians were exterminating everyone. They were murdering people in the streets who had their hands tied. They weren't there to do anything ... ANYTHING ... positive. They were there to assault and demolish and eliminate everything Ukrainian.

NOT calling it genocide is naive at this point. Maybe "attempted genocide" or "almost, but not quite genocide" or however you want to bend over backwards to draw distinctions between what is happening in Ukraine today and the other beads in the string of genocides that have plagued my lifetime news reports.

I hope I'm wrong. I've seen too many images in the past few days, though. Compared the statements coming out of Bucha over the past weeks to the reality we see evidence of now. Heard the even more extreme reports coming from other cities and towns occupied by Russia still today and ... frankly I quake at it. I'm shook.

If you're not up-to-date on the recent shit that's been found out as Russian forces pull back from assaulting Kiev, well... I kinda wish I was, too. It's totally fucked up in the worst ways, and I'm not sleeping well lately.

The worst is yet to be found out. The realities being uncovered these past days are the harbinger of much worse ongoing still in the East and South of Ukraine.


This is the tip of the iceberg.
