Peaceful Protesters Attacked by Russian Troops in Kherson

These continued war crimes are likely indicative of Vladimir Putin’s fatalist attitude toward the invasion.

Evidence of war crimes being committed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine continues to mount this week, as it becomes increasingly clear that Vladimir Putin has no plan to politically, (or otherwise), survive this failing invasion.

Putin has turned desperate and despotic in recent days, ordering his troops to commit heinous and atrocious acts against unarmed Ukrainian civilians. World leaders have already begun to suggest that these war crimes are being closely cataloged and that a referral to the International Criminal Court is all but assured.

The latest example comes to us from Kherson, Ukraine.

Russian soldiers have opened fire on civilian protesters in the captured Ukrainian city of Kherson and wounded at least one person, local media has reported, as Vladimir Putin’s troops stepped up their war of attrition against civilians by shelling the city of Odessa.

Footage taken in Kherson and shared by media with links to the Ukrainian military, showed one man bleeding heavily from the leg after being shot during a demonstration. Russian forces used firearms as well as stun grenades to try and disperse the protesters, the Interfax news agency reported.

And that wasn’t all…

It came as Vladimir Putin’s warships opened fire on civilian areas in the Black Sea port city of Odesa today, marking the first time residents have been targeted. Officials said several houses were destroyed and a fire sparked, but there was no immediate word on casualties.

Missiles also rained down on the ‘Retroville’ shopping centre in northern Kyiv on Monday – killing eight people amid fears dozens more were buried in the rubble with emergency workers searching for them. CCTV footage from the city of Kharkiv also emerged showing a strike on a supermarket queue last week.

Given the growing dissent among Russians and the ever-wider breadth of the international response, the continuation of these highly illegal and immoral attacks seems to belie Vladimir Putin’s fatalist attitude toward Ukraine; an attitude that has world leaders growing more concerned by the day .

Empire State Goes Tyrannical with Social Media Spying Plan

This is NOT okay.

There are plenty of ways in which American politicians can react to a tragedy, with a great many of those options being a bit shortsighted.

This is especially true of Democrats, it seems, as their innate progressivism makes them uniquely obsessed with change for the sake of change – even when those changes may be constitutionally questionable.

The latest example of this comes to us from New York, where a racist massacre at a grocery store has the state government looking to spy on citizens’ social media accounts.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Wednesday announced plans to create a police unit designed to, in part, combat “hate speech” in the wake of the tragic shooting in Buffalo, promising to “confront this epidemic head-on.”

“We’re proposing a comprehensive plan to combat domestic terrorism, strengthen state gun laws, & investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism,” Hochul announced Wednesday.

“In wake of the racist act of terror in Buffalo, New York will lead the charge to confront this epidemic head-on”.

The devil was in the (lack of) details:

One of the governor’s executive orders instructs the State Police to establish a “dedicated unit within the New York State Intelligence Center (NYSIC) to track domestic extremism and increase social media monitoring at the Intelligence Center.”

“The unit will be responsible for developing investigative leads based on social media analyses focused on radical extremist activities motivated threats by identifying online locations and activities that facilitate radicalization and promote violent extremism,” it reads in part.

Without any clear or concise guard rails, those employed within the unit would be left to examine any number of questionable pieces of alleged “evidence”, tagging and cataloging completely harmless users in the sort of overreach that would have George Orwell not only rolling over in his grave, but kicking at the lid of his coffin as well.
