BIDEN CALLS PUTIN “A BUTCHER”
This morning President Biden, after publicly calling President Putin a week ago as a “war criminal”, went a step further calling him a “butcher” who “for God’s sake, must not (be allowed to) rule Russia”.
Biden seems to be losing mental stability … and rapidly too. This is not the crass, abusive language behoving the POTUS.
If Putin is a war criminal, many US Presidents were worse war criminals.
Biden has crossed all limits of individual decency by attacking Putin in derogatory language in his speech to his troops in Poland yesterday. On the contrary, Putin’s comments were restrained and dignified as he directed them all only against NATO and the USA.
How can the world ever forget —- and yet, sadly, today does indeed forget that —- the massacre and mass killing of innocent, poor Iraqis by George Bush (“the lesser”) in March-April 2003 on the the false pretext that Iraq possessed WMD and was supporting Al Quaeda terrorists?
The world should not also forget what Lyndon Johnson did to Vietnam, Reagan did in Granada and Nicaragua, Clinton did in Bosnia, Bush did in Afghanistan which Obama continued doing there and then what he himself did in Syria, and later got Hillary Clinton to do in Libya … the list is endless…
USA truly has blood all over its hands, body including its private parts, and surely upon its conscience too…. Biden has no right to call Putin a war criminal.
Biden perhaps is getting too old and too senile to remember that it was America that dropped 2 atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing millions of Japanese civilians and maiming survivors severely with radioactive aftermath for several ensuing decades. President Truman who ordered the bombing was not only the “Adi Guru ” of all American presidential war-criminals but was the metaphoric Gangotri of Global Terrorism the world has suffered since then. World Terrorism got its primal inspiration only from him.
The world must not forget that till today AMERICA has not tendered a word of remorse or apology to Japan for that heinous war crime … let alone being prosecuted for it under international law nor held accountable by any institution of the so-called “international community” which today accuses Putin of war crime and says he will be tried by the International Court of Justice at The Hague!
There is a specious military and supra-legal moral doctrine that is often used by America to justify its crime in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. American jurists and military experts say that it was right to use atom bombs to subdue Japan in order to bring about a more rapid victory for the Allied Forces and prevent the deaths of more Americans in WWII.
President Truman even said that he believed that the bombs actually saved Japanese lives as well! Prolonging the war he had said was not an option for him and his allies.
What a dark, bestial and criminal bent of mind President Truman possessed indeed!
It makes me really wonder now what might happen today if Putin too were to resort to the very same Truman doctrine of nuclear attack and next week drops 2 atom bombs on Mauriopol and Kviv and then justifies it saying that he did it only to bring the war to an abrupt and decisive end, to avoid any further loss of Russian troops in Ukraine and to save thereby many more lives of millions of Ukrainian civilians who still have not fled their country?
Now, would the Truman Doctrine be sufficient moral justification to exonerate Putin of war criminality? After all , he too would be using it in his defence much the same way as AMERICA used it in 1945 to rationalise its dastardly crime, wouldn’t he?
“ No way !” , AMERICA and Western countries would say vehemently, “the circumstances are different! And besides Putin is the aggressor here just as Japan was back then in 1945 a blatant aggressor. The Truman Doctrine is for defenders only to use not aggressors. It is not morally permissible for aggressors to use atom bombs to stop a war. Only defenders can use it. And in WII , America was a defender, not the aggressor.”
Oh , I see! What a clever argument by half!
Tell me Mr. POTUS, what if Putin turned that hypocritical American argument around on its head and were to retort, “In this war Russia is defending itself from NATO aggression against it through creeping expansion into Ukraine that’s been going on unchallenged since 2009! I’m the real defender here, and Ukraine is the stooge of the aggressor behind it … and that’s America and it’s bull dog, the NATO !”.
It is so easy to predict indeed how President Biden and his European cronies would protest and respond then, “ Well, that’s a war criminal talking … not the President of Russia!”.
