In the aftermath of Russia’s military misadventure in Ukraine, and the theatrics of Zelensky the “Joker” addressing all Western World parliaments calling for Putin to be arraigned as a war criminal, there has been an endless spate of “chilling atrocity stories” coming out of Ukraine being published daily by US “agit-prop” agencies such as the New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Atlantic, the New Yorker Magazine … etc.
Perpetrators of War Crimes of course must be tried under international laws … and whoever might be held guilty of them prima facie brought to justice … even Vladimir Putin.
But then we also know that besides allegedly Putin, there are also a whole lot of other likely criminals in the world who have gone scot free and are today footloose and guilt free ….
Take the case of the huge backlog of cases yet to be tried in the ICC Hague for war crimes committed by western nations in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya ….
Here are just a few websites that one can quickly leaf or riffle through to get a rough idea of the amount of work that has not been done to bring to justice cases of war crimes throughout the world …. ! And they are all today languishing un-prosecuted due to the chicanery, malice, deliberate obfuscation of materiel evidence and frustration of due process that the USA and western nations are guilty of .

He used government-approved “enhanced interrogation techniques” to maximum effect. Miller went on to lead detainee operations in Iraq, notably in Abu Ghraib, where infamous abuses occurred, and Camp Bucca.”
And then of course there are the biggest war criminals of all, M/s Tony Blair and Jack Straw , who are yet to be brought to justice for what the UK The Guardian called a “needless war” in Iraq 1990 . https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/05/tony-blair-should-be-prosecuted-over-iraq-war-high-court-hears
So, here is a word of pious counsel to the West that calls itself good Christian: Please heed the Biblical sermon:
According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.”
