This is not a territorial dispute. In Bucha, they were talking of soldiers going on one particular street, and we're talking about this, going door-to-door taking people out of their homes, men, torturing them, first while alive, gouging out their eyes, cutting off their ears, then tying their hands behind their back and shooting them in the back of the head, and then going back into the homes and raping the women. I mean, this is barbarism. And by the way, it's barbarism authorized and encouraged by the man that Donald Trump calls excellent, and a genius and brilliant in Vladimir Putin. Well, if that's brilliance, we don't need brilliance on the world stage.
