Letter To Editor / GENOCIDE AND CANCER

By Roger C. Kostmayer

The deliberate killing of a large number of Ukrainians with the aim of destroying that nation, is genocide. Putin and the Russian military have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, achieving the world’s most evil and deadly trifecta.  We’ve seen these heinous crimes and a holocaust genocide before and, though difficult and costly in human lives, evil was defeated and criminals were held accountable.  The fate of freedom and democracy are once again at risk and we now must have the courage to rise to the occasion and insure that Ukraine and democracy win, and all the guilty are held accountable.

OSCE (the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) has confirmed: attacks on a maternity hospital, on medical facilities, rape, deliberate murder of civilians, executions, looting and forced deportation of civilians to Russia – and Ukraine is now a giant crime scene.  Just as we did more than 75 years ago, civilized democracies must kill this cancer, defeat the military invader and rebuild NATO and other anti-war guardrails that will protect us for many generations going forward.
