Is there nothing else to criticise Ukraine for?
There is plenty to criticize Putin and Russian for. Let's start with the endless war crimes.
Any Americans or Brits been tried for war crimes? Well, let's start with them first and then move on to Russians. Otherwise, you are being a hypocrite.
wow, government backed cancel culture huh? You're turning into that which you hate GWB
There is an entire thread dedicated to Putin's and Russia's documented war crimes against civilians. I suggest you go read it and educate yourself.

A lot of truthiness in this short article/podcast. As I said way back, being a Mainer in origin I tend to think more about the impact of winter than the average bear, and Putin needs to do whatever he is going to do by November or things will get much worse for both sides. It is just a matter of which side. Even things like the foliage being down after October will have a major impact. Trying to hide a tank and troops in the winter is not all that easy.
And yes, Putin has major plans to make winter rough for the Europeans so there is that - but ultimately it is about how it is going with his troops on the front.
Russia has the advantage just based on the numbers. They have to keep their "numbers" there in the winter though. A lot of them want to and are going home already though.
As Kamala says "the passage of time" is a thing. And indeed it is. It may not be November yet but you can see it from here.
Putin Is Dreading Winter
Ukraine will likely have some natural advantages over Russia’s invading force when the cold and snow set in.
What the Russians are going to have to do is keep cycling troops in and out of these tough forward positions in bitterly cold weather. And I think one thing that we haven’t talked about enough—I mean, we in the West haven’t talked about enough—is that a lot of these Russian troops that are being sent there [are] not Russians. They’re not ethnically Russians. They’re going out, and they’re getting kids from the boondocks and some of the non-Russian areas of the Russian Federation and sending them off to the Ukrainian border. And that’s hard enough to do under the best conditions—but when a central European winter sets in, that’s going to be a lot more difficult.

Yeah... whatever.... I guess it is sad for you that western governments are "cancelling" oligarchs and propagandists who support Putin in an endless wave of war crimes.
Tell us how you don't support sanctioning (which is the proper term here) these individuals and associated companies -- so we have your position clearly on record.
Did Joe say that Obama was the smartest guy he knew or Hunter?
I think you are confused. Joe said Barry was "articulate and clean."
