Iryna Zarutska would most likely be alive at present if she stayed at that bomb shelter in Ukraine.
As an alternative, the 23-year -old younger girl, searching for freedom and security, got here to America to get killed.
She had a job and was doing all the things proper, earlier than she was savagely stabbed and murdered on that rail line in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier than Vladimir Putin may do the job.
Iryna will probably be buried in America fairly than be returned to Ukraine as a result of, in line with her household, “She cherished America.” Sadly, America didn’t love her again.
DeCarlo Brown Jr., 34, a repeat offender and headcase, was arrested for the mindless killing and is charged with homicide.
It’s only too unhealthy that Putin, additionally a assassin and headcase, couldn’t be charged as properly.
Had the legal Putin not invaded, Ukraine can be at peace and Iryna and 1000’s of Ukrainian girls and youngsters focused by Putin, the Joe Stalin of our time, can be alive and properly.
Wanting Donald Trump and the USA, there isn’t a one round to rein Putin in and forestall World Struggle III, as witnessed by Putin’s newest aggression in opposition to neighboring Poland, a NATO-member nation.
NATO final week launched fighter jets to shoot down quite a few drones that Russia fired into neighboring Poland in what seemed to be a Russian enlargement of the Ukraine struggle.
It was the primary time NATO fighter jets—Polish F-16s and Netherland F-35s– have been used to fireplace on Russian belongings and it raised concern that the struggle may spill over into Europe.
Whereas Russia mentioned the drone assault was a mistake, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk mentioned, “We’re dealing seemingly with a provocation on a big scale.”
Trump on social media requested, “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s air area with drones? Right here we go!”
Go the place?
And if he doesn’t know what Russia is doing, how is anyone else purported to know?
It’s attention-grabbing to notice that Putin’s newest aggression got here solely days after he attended Communist China’s annual Shanghai Cooperation Group Summit the place he held arms with Chinese language President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Each China and India are fueling Putin’s struggle in Ukraine by shopping for minimize price oil from Russia.
China additionally placed on an enormous navy parade that Trump, who loves an excellent parade, may solely envy.
Putin cherished it too. China and the USA are about the one two nations Putin can go to with out dealing with arrest for the legal that he’s.
In actual fact, Putin obtained a heat welcome by each Trump–when the pair met in Alaska—after which by Xi in China on the summit, which is a kind of an financial counterweight with navy facets, to NATO.
Putin is a legal. He’s underneath indictment by the Worldwide Prison Courtroom for crimes in opposition to humanity and genocide. Nonetheless, neither the U.S. nor China are members of the 125-nation ICC. Russia additionally will not be.
Trump has lengthy bragged about how he may finish the struggle between aggressor Russia and sufferer Ukraine, presumably by means of financial sanctions on Russia. He campaigned on it.
However to this point, he has failed to take action. There was no stop hearth and no peace talks. Solely extra killing.
Evidently each time Trump talks to Putin and comes away hopeful, Putin ups the ante and launches extra drones, bombs extra Ukrainian cities and murders extra girls and youngsters. Now he’s firing drones into Poland.
Putin is consuming Trump’s lunch.
