Seemingly off-the-cuff remarks to reporters. Curious to see the White House reaction to this.
Biden said Monday, “You may remember, I got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal” last month.
“Well, the truth of the matter, you saw what happened in Bucha. This warrants him — he is a war criminal,” Biden said.
“But we have to gather the information. We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue the fight,” the president said.
“We have to get all the detail so this can be ... a war crime trial.”
Russian troops did the same thing during WWII in Germany and went completely unhinged when reaching Berlin. Between the months of January and August of 1945, Germany saw the largest mass rape in history and it continued unabated until 1948 when Russian troops returned to their camps in Russia.

a nuclear armed Iran would truly be an existential threat to our world...we need to use every means available to make sure that doesn't happen...as Chris said, without re-instituting "The Deal", we're looking at military action...then you can really start complaining about oil prices...among a few other things.
