REGIME CHANGE IN MOSCOW: THE ONLY LASTING SOLUTION TO THE PUTIN PROBLEM.

ICHEOKU says does not know who in the White House is undermining President Joe Biden or trying to diminish him and his presidency by always cutting him down at the knees. Each time the president correctly articulates a position on an issue, which ordinarily would be the proper magic silver bullet to solve the problem, someone in the White House often steps in as a spoiler. Who this person is and when the American people outsourced the policy-making decision of America to the person is yet to be determined. The person is again meddling with the president's effort to solve President Vladimir Putin's recurring problem as a thorn in the flesh of the world.

The president not too long ago called the Russian strong man a war criminal only for a pinhead in the White House to counter him. The person rushed out a statement "re-explaining" the president's statement, his true intent, in order to pacify President Vladimir Putin just because the Kremlin protested that the comment threatens diplomatic relations between Moscow and WashingtonDC. The president also called President Vladimir Putin a butcher and again the same person came out to "re-interpret" the president's remark. Further, in Warsaw the president said that President Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power and the same person recanted the statement, stating that President Joe Biden was not calling for regime change in Russia. 

In each of these instances, the president correctly articulated the prevailing line of thought but the White House rebuked him by countering him, leaving millions of American people and the world at large wondering who again is in charge in the White House. Who again is the president of America and commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces when an elected President Joe Biden is frequently countered and his statement treated as irrelevant and of no weighty value? 

Who again in an American government has the final say on any major issue involving America's foreign policy initiatives and decisions if not the president? Who again in the White House is acting as the supervising authority over an elected American president, when American people did not vote for that person nor want their elected president to be placed under an unelected supervisory authority, lording it over their elected president. 

President Vladimir Putin ordered his Russian army into battle in Ukraine and they are committing untoward war crimes in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has refused to do something about it, to reel them in and call them to order. Their action is attributable to the man who ordered them into battle as there is an apparent agency relationship between the president and his army, to make the president vicariously responsible for the war crimes. Therefore calling the Russian president a war criminal is not out of place, it is quite in order. 

Where then did President Joe Biden misspoke when he correctly referenced President Vladimir Putin as a war criminal? Yet the White House supervisor of the president once again rebuked the president for the statement by countering him with a supposed "clarification" despite the fact that the president is the boss in the White House. Which corporate America would tolerate, accommodate or condone any overbearing staff, who had the audacity to publicly constantly overrule their CEO or president? But with the current White House it is becoming a matter of routine, as they now have the habit of constantly "re-interpreting" nearly everything which the president says. 

The president called President Vladimir Putin a butcher and he was again "re-interpreted". ICHEOKU says any president and commander in chief of any country, who is so cold-blood hearted as to permit his army to bomb hospitals and maternity hospitals, killing innocent pregnant women and their unborn babies; whose army deliberately trains their machine guns and fires them on innocent civilians; whose armored tanks' ferrets aims and fires at residential abodes and perpetrates such other hideous acts forbidden in wars by the Geneva convention,  has rightly earned the moniker the butcher. 

Like Saddam Hussein was the butcher of Baghdad, Klaus Barbie was the butcher of Lyons, Reinhard Heydrich was the butcher of Prague, Andrei Chikatilo was the butcher of Rostov, Ratio Madic was the butcher of Bosnia and Ivan the Terrible John Demjandjuk was the butcher of Treblinka, the world has now added to this list of infamy, courtesy of President Joe Biden, another butcher, the butcher of Moscow, President Vladimir Putin. 

Where and how President Joe Biden possibly went wrong with this, properly pinning the moniker of a butcher on President Vladimir Putin that made his clearly enunciated words subject to another White House's  interpretation for context, is not clear. It is another clear indication that somebody in the White House is acting out of sync, far and above his pay grade, by constantly making an American president the laughing stock and butt of global joke as not being really in power and not driving America's foreign position decisions. 

A regime change in Russia is the only natural and rightful outcome of President Vladimir Putin's blatant defiance of the world in waging a premeditated and unjustifiable war of attrition against Ukraine. It is the only solution that is capable of solving Putin's problem for good; a recurring pain in the butt of the civilized world, particularly those within the European continent that has been yelping for a solution. If he could do it in Ukraine, he will definitely most likely do it again in some other country. It is a pattern of (mis)behavior for him as he has developed an unquenchable and insatiable appetite for invading Russia's neighboring countries. He has shed so much blood that even vampires have unfriended him for oversupplying and flooding every space with blood and thus making it difficult for them to drink all the blood being shed. 

Ukraine will not be his last victim country if he survives the current ordeal and remains in power.  Just like wild animals are put down when they attack human-beings, for developing a taste for humans, President Vladimir Putin needs to be put down (figuratively speaking), removed from power, for he has developed a penchant for invading countries. The world needs peace but the world cannot have peace when such a maniac is busily, constantly, running roughshod on countries bordering his Russia. He needs to go because there is no way in hell the civilized world can easily carry on with Putin after this war or continue to deal with Russia in a renewed global friendship with President Vladimir Putin still in power. 

President Joe Biden was right when he made that off the cuff remark in Warsaw that this man cannot remain in power. It is the right call and the only most effective way to solve Putin's problem. The world must therefore come together in unison and demand that Putin be gone from power. His problem should be solved now by removing him from power, either willingly or unwillingly. The urgency of the now demands it as removing him from power is akin to separating a fire from its fuel source. 

By removing President Vladimir Putin from power, the source of his recurring war mongering intransigence would be completely extirpated, rendering him impotent and completely defanged and castrated with no ability or capacity to ever cause trouble for his neighboring countries. If he cannot command and order an army into battle, how else could he threaten or attack Russia's neighbors or the greater world's peace. It is the solution, in fact, the only solution to Putin's problem. The opportunity has arisen with the Ukrainian invasion to solve the problem and it should be solved now. 

There should be no further ado or needless delays or fidgeting around about such an action possibly escalating the crisis or forcing President Vladimir Putin to dig in or become more savagery. Enough of the indecisiveness in effectively ending the Putin's regime in Moscow; other dictators were confronted, why not Putin? Lastly, whoever it is that is undercutting and undermining President Joe Biden'e effectiveness as an elected president of the United States of America with the final say on all America's foreign policy decisions, should stop henceforth or be fired immediately. #RemovePutinFromPower.

ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES ARTS AND SCIENCE: COVERING UP FOR WILL SMITH?

ICHEOKU says when did the police start seeking the consent of a victim before making an arrest of a person who committed a crime? Is the practice not to first arrest and take into custodial detention of such a person before any prosecutorial decision is made, based on the victim's willingness to press charges and testify against the offender during prosecution. So what exactly is the academy telling us, that the police sought Chris Rock's approval to do their job and  that it was not given, following which they did not arrest Will Smith.

A crime of battery was committed and the police whose duty is to "protect and serve" should have summarily arrested the perpetrator of the crime Will Smith. They did not need anyone's consent, including that of Chris Rock, to do what their job demands of them. The academy is so full of it as their ineptitude was glaringly obvious that evening as they choked when they should have manned up as expected and squarely faced down a joker who took the shine out of the Oscars while pretending to be a toughie. Why did the academy allow Will Smith to get away with murdering the Oscars and did not show him instant retribution by bundling him out of the event center.

That the academy allowed a person who committed such egregious disrespect to the academy, disregarded the solemnity of the occasion and perpetrated a great act of violence on a host of the Oscars hired by the academy is the height of willful indifference to the safety and security of those present at the Oscars. If their host could be so easily smacked in the mouth by Will Smith, how did they know that Will Smith has not lost his marbles and could tee off on other persons at the venue. Why did they allow him to remain in the venue following what he did, and not bundle him out, hogtied if need be. 

When did the decision to protect people from a potential harm and injury become so subjective that the decision or lack thereof to remove Will Smith from the event center has to even be debated? Who do these people think that we are, a bunch of dumbos who cannot fathom a thing, right? This is an academy which parades itself as anti violence and does not condone violence of any type. Yet they are telling us that Will Smith was asked to leave but he refused.When did a guest assume such a power of refusal to a host's wishes and demand that he left, that his will triumphs over the law? 

When he refused to leave, what other measures did the academy deploy to counter his refusal? Did the academy effectively communicate their demand that he left the venue and if yes, why did they not impose their will on him by asking the security detail to physically remove him as is done on every mischief maker who tried to rock the boat of any event. Why did they proceed with giving him an Oscars award; tolerated a thundering standing up ovation for him and allowed the world audience to listen through his painful and pitiful apology of no apology? Their tale by the moonlight is that they told him to leave and he refused, case closed. What a very interesting hogwash of a narrative.

Will Smith has now resigned his membership of the academy but that alone is not enough. He should also renounce his Oscars award as unmerited and undeserving, and return the same to the academy with immediate effect. He has lost his role-model status and with it, the respect of his peers as well as detractors. Will Smith is now a salt which has lost its taste and should be thrown away as bland sand. The academy should stop insulting everyone's intelligence with all these lame excuses they are making for why Will Smith was not removed from the venue and his Oscars award not taken away from him. 

These excuses are lame and it is even lamer for the academy to think that we bought into their excuses for why they handled Will Smith's battery on Chris Rock so tepidly. We are no fools to believe such tales because according to Tupac, "our mothers didn't raise no fools"; and we are not fools. Will Smith definitely crossed the redline and his crime was unpardonable. He should have been fired from the academy but he has instead chosen to resign. It is a welcome development which should be applauded because it is the right thing to do. Now, the revocation of his Oscar, arrest and prosecution should follow immediately. #TakeTheDamnOscarsAway.

WILL SMITH IS A THUG: A PERSONIFICATION OF STEREOTYPICAL ANGRY AND VIOLENT BLACK MAN.

ICHEOKU says what Will Smith did at the Oscars damaged the entire black people in America, particularly black males. A people who are often held out as being violent, angry and vicious; and who have no compunction about meting out physical violence on each other and sometimes the general public. A people who holds nothing sacred or sacrosanct or solemn and who can easily defecate on the altar and shake it as no big deal.

Will Smith confirmed all these: he was angry; he was violent and he viciously attacked an innocent comedian hosting the Oscars. He thought it up, deliberated it, strode to the stage and slapped Chris Rock, evidence that he had no compunction about committing acts of violence on another person. He had absolute disregard for the sanctity of the event and the fact that the whole world was tuned in watching and desecrated the event and took the shine out of the Oscars as people instead of celebrating the Oscars success stories are now occupied with Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock.

He is a disgrace to everything held high and a shame of humanity for civility. He unmasked himself as a great pretender whose life is just like the acting he does for a living, different from the reality. He has been pretending all these years, passing himself off as a responsible black man in America only to have it all come crashing down on him because of a very silly and stupid decision he made in a supposed "defense of his wife's honor." If a man who was previously regarded as a role model and an outlier who beat the odds to become successful, civilized, well mannered and well behaved could get so thuggish before a global television audience, what other evidence does anyone need to find that black males in America are who they are made out to be, violent and angry. 

Will Smith disappointed millions of people world wide, both his fans and other passive admirers; including black males in America whom he has now further stigmatized by confirming that black males in America are angry and violent, serving himself as an example. There is no way he possibly recovers from the self-inflicted damage to his reputation and what he once stood for, a shining example. It is finished for him as far as ICHEOKU is concerned as his image is now forever tarnished and gone with the wind of his thuggish attack on an innocent comedian, who was doing his gig, jiving his mouth, while hosting the Oscars. It was the lowest of the low for him as he has sunk into the deep sewer where he will be hibernating for a long time, if not forever. 

Black activists in America protested for a long time that the Oscars were too white. It led to Jada Pickett Smith boycotting the Oscars and continued until white the Oscars management finally decided to open the Oscars for blacks and other minorities. Now, see how they are being repaid for their benevolent heart which led to throwing open the Oscars. Will Smith spat on their faces. Will Smith told them to taste his black ass. Will Smith told them to lick his black balls. Will Smith told them to go to hell and remain there until it freezes over. Will Smith told them that their fear which made them keep the Oscars white for a long time was indeed well founded. Will Smith threw a black paint on the hitherto Snow White Oscars and forever scarred the Oscars. 

Imagine the musings going on among white people's circles: in white people's homes, in white peoples board rooms, in white people's meetings, in white peoples gatherings, white peoples drinking bars, pubs and restaurants and such other places where white peoples are by themselves and there is no black person around to listening or eavesdropping on their conversation. Imagine the regrets being expressed in some of these white peoples quarters about throwing open the Oscars and wishing they had not succumbed to the pressure of black activists to dilute the Oscars by throwing it open to black people. 

ICHEOKU does not blame them for expressing a "buyer's remorse" following the rascality and stupidity of Will Smith at the Oscars. Will Smith showed that he has lost his mind and should therefore be canceled outright, shunned and boycotted as an untouchable leper, worse than a an Indian Dalit. 

To slap a comedian because of a hair joke in front of a worldwide audience is the action of a man bereft of his faculties. It is possible he was drunk or very high on some other mind altering substances such as the white powdery stuff which goes up into the nostrils. He was in fact separated from his faculties for him to do what he did. What is comedy without joking about people? Why do people go to comedy shows if not to be entertained with jokes about other people? What is so special about a woman who freely sleeps around and also allegedly once slept with her own son's friend that should make her "joke-proof" such that anyone who jokes about her hair style is  automatically slapped? 

Only a dire consequential punishment will suffice. Will Smith should be punished maximally for what he did in order to help deter any such future copycat attacks on comedians. He should be stripped of the Oscars award which he was given as he never merited it in the first place and currently does not deserve it, following the slap of shame. He should not get any future roles in movies and all his movies should be boycotted going forward. The world is waiting to see these punishments handed out to him and very soon; otherwise the people in charge of the Oscars will be seen as condoning physical violence and going light on their fellow Hollywood woke-centric thug who finally revealed the streets inside of him. #CancelWillSmith.

THE SLAP AT THE OSCARS IS BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE: CANCEL WILL SMITH.

ICHEOKU says if he was that tough he should have volunteered to travel to Ukraine to go help them defend their country from the Russians. If it was a white host, would he have dared? But no, it was a fellow black man and Will Smith felt that it was ok to arrogantly strode onto the stage and brazenly deliver a dirty slap on the face of Chris Rock. Chris Rock apparently thought that Will Smith was coming to whisper something into his ears and extended his cheek to him only to be bewildered by Will Smith's dirty hot slap. 

ICHEOKU tuned-off from everything Hollywood a long time ago due to their woke idiocy gone amok and did not watch the Oscars. ICHEOKU saw the perfidy later in the news and initially thought that it was a staged act, part of a well rehearsed script added for maximum effect and to improve Oscars ratings, only to learn that it was a malicious act. A deliberate act of aggression and violence, an assault and battery, perpetrated by one black man against another black man, two Hollywood high profile personalities. Will Smith should be punished for what he did. He thought about it, stood up and left his seat, walked several feet to the stage, approached Chris Rock, leaned backward to make it count and then delivered the dirty slap. 

It is condemnable and it is here condemned without any reservations whatsoever; and should be condemned by every right thinking sane person, whether in Hollywood or outside the sleazy circle of great pretenders who think that they are the oxygen which society breathes. The assault and battery by Will Smith on Chris Rock should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and prison term handed to Will Smith so that he could have some quiet moment to himself to reminisce and think through his action. Such a public display of actual violence, in real time, is not acceptable and cannot be excused and no amount of apologies will be enough to atone for what he did. He did the crime and should therefore do the time. 

Will Smith was too full of it to think that he could just take matters into his own hand, defied every protocol and respectability, disrespected and disregarded the venue, the event and reason for the evening's gathering, had no regard for the host and did what he did. Like Russia's President Vladimir Putin who defied the world to invade Ukraine, Will Smith defied the host of Oscars and millions of viewers world wide who tuned in to watch the Oscars and did what he did. The only commensurate punishment for what he did is to treat him in kind, by defying every pretentious apology and fake cry of his and visit him with the harshest punishment ever, including taking his Oscars away. He does not deserve the honor, following what he did, period.

He disrespected the Oscars. What he did is not good for the image of the Oscars. It was an affront on everyone who tuned in to watch the Oscars, including children who heard his profane-laced diatribe. Some of his fans might now be thinking that it is ok to commit flagrant acts of violence on people simply because their favorite star did the same. As a society, we should collectively say no to violence, which becomes more egregious when a public figure commits it and so brazenly, with millions of television viewers watching. Will Smith should be punished for what he did and severely too, as to make an example out of him. 

It was a career-killing slap and the career of Will Smith should be ended forthwith. His movies should be boycotted and yanked from theaters showing them. Will Smith should be canceled as nothing justifies what he did. So what, if Chris Rock did not keep Will Smith's wife's name out of his "fucking" mouth? What is so incendiary about joking about a person's hair cut or hair loss that should attract a slap by the person's putative husband? What is so atrocious in suggesting that Jada Picket's hair resembles Demi Moore's haircut in the movie 'GI Jane' that Will Smith should take matters into his own hands and commit such an assault on Chris Rock? 

What is wrong with some of these black Hollywood people that think they rule the world and therefore untouchable and above the law; and decide which laws to follow and which laws to freely break. Will Smith has now morphed into a Jussie Smollett 2.0 and can never recover from what he did no matter how much he pretends to be contrite about it. He overreached himself, crossed the proverbial redline and therefore must be held accountable for what he did. The law should take its course in order to repudiate such thuggish behavior as unacceptable from anyone, no matter how highly placed or regarded. The conduct belongs in the street and not at the Oscars in front of millions of global television audiences. 

When you think that it was only Kanye Ye West that is on the bend, here comes Will Smith emphatically hollering, me too, deal me in. When Kanye Ye West went on stage and yanked the microphone away from Taylor Swift, at least he neither slapped her nor used profanity on her. Will Smith not only went to the stage, he slapped a host of the Oscars and by necessary implication, slapped the entire Oscars organizers as well as millions of television audiences who tuned in to share the evening event. He must be made to pay for his action, it was unwarranted and it is a very arrogant behavior, the feeling of he can do whatever the heck he wants and get away with it. It is sad that he slapped Chris Rock and sadder that he also repeatedly used foul language, profanity, in addressing the slap.

ICHEOKU commends Chris Rock for not escalating the situation by slapping Will Smith back or engaging him in a fight. Someone like Dave Chapelle would have reacted differently, admitted Will Smith would not have dared if Dave was emceeing the event. Will Smith has damaged himself beyond repair as he will, going forward, be seen as a thug. It is not as if that will be the first time a person, particularly a comedian, ever made a joke about a person's wife. Roasting is part of our pop culture as Americans and a joke never a person killed. Will Smith ignored every decency and respectability and took such umbrage to walk to the stage and slap a comedian who was hosting the Oscars, just because he joked about his wife's hair. Really? Still wondering why the Oscars was "so white" for a long time, now you know. #CancelWillSmith. #BoycottWillSmithMovies.

UKRAINIAN WAR REFUGEES: MAKE AMERICA WHITER AGAIN, A GOOD POLICY OBJECTIVE.

ICHEOKU says what the woke lunatic leftists once accused former President Donald John Trump of trying to do is exactly what President Biden just did: the president just made America whiter again. By announcing that America will take in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees, the president just widened the racial gap in America as the majority of those Ukrainians will never go back to Ukraine. They will simply disappear inside the illegal immigrants labyrinth in America, never to be seen or heard from again until they regularize their stay with the help of shrewd immigration lawyers. 

A visa-free, open border admission immigration policy for all Ukrainians fleeing the Russia imposed war on Ukraine will encourage even those Ukrainians with no previous plans of leaving their country to now find an excuse to move to America. How would anyone know who is genuinely fleeing a war from those economic migrants who might just slip through the new policy to establish a new root in America. With a first "down payment" (batch) of 100,000 white Ukrainians being allowed into America, which could be scaled up later with no set limit, depending on the progress of the war, America's racial imbalance is bound for a system boost. 

Such a blank check of open immigration handed to Ukrainians will certainly do an additional number on the already exacerbated racial imbalance in America which is heavily tilted in favor of white caucasians. Bringing that many white people from Ukraine into America will definitely lead to a rise in white Americans' numerical strength, thus further widening an already existing racial gap between the majority white people and other minority groups in America. 

Using the Ukrainian war refugees to increase the number of caucasians in America is quite a work of a genius' creative political play. Will the woke leftist anarchist now similarly accuse President Joe Biden of and pillory him for making America whiter again? ICHEOKU asks this pertinent question because there have been so many wars and several civil unrests in so many other parts of the world including in America's Southern Hemisphere including Haiti of late, but in none of these countries did a sitting president of the United States of America commit to permit such a large number of immigration of their refugees. Why is Ukraine now being treated specially and specifically different; or is it a crime to be a non-white person in this world? 

Before Ukraine there was Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Myanmar, Haiti, Ethiopia, Yemen and such other war torn and rife stricken regions of the world including in Latin America, with resulting byproduct of streaming refugees. How many of these refugees from these other countries and regions did America and the West admit into their countries? In some cases, active military forces were deployed at their borders to checkmate these refugees and to the extent of physically preventing them from entering their countries. Did the color of their skin and/or their different religious beliefs and practices play any role in the treatment they were given; or did these governments choose to now look the other way simply because white people have become war refugees. 

ICHEOKU says he has nothing against Ukrainians or the need to give their war refugees succor and refuge in America; only that fairness demands that everyone, including war refugees from everywhere, be treated fairly. The same open admission into America treatment being shown to Ukrainians should be a policy of general application which should be extended to every war refugee from any part of the world, regardless of the color of their skin, religion or belief. Paraphrasing Al Gore, the only "controlling authority" should be that they are escaping from the ravages of war. But from the experiences garnered from other war refugees, the war refugees from Ukraine are being specially treated; and it is most likely because the color of their skin and religious belief are different. 

Anyway, provided that only their child-bearing age women, children, the infirm and the aged are allowed this privilege, it is a good humanitarian gesture by America which should be welcomed by everyone without reservation. White people in America must be particularly pleased at the development, a glaring opportunity for them to radically increase their political and economic power base and overall numerical strength. The thought of this happening might be what in fact peeved Vice President Kamala Harris so much that she bungled her two recent overseas trips to that part of the world. Let's wait and see if she will now push for Ethiopian, Somali and Sudanese war refugees to be equally given a freeload on our immigration in their hundreds of thousands. 

ICHEOKU stands for improving the odds of a lasting white majority in America and if bringing in hundreds of thousands and even millions of white Ukrainian war refugees into America will help firm the hold, so be it. The government can bring them in plane loads and resettle them in Georgia, Nevada and Arizona to help shore up the dwindling white population in these States and also help serve as a buffer to the threatening minority dominance being witnessed. Anyone who has never been a minority cannot sufficiently understand the ample  benefits that come with being a majority. It is a good policy objective to sustain the white majority in America, so let's repopulate America in the way most beneficial to white interests, to ensure that the river never runs dry. So, hello, let's welcome Ukrainian war refugees, even in their millions, if possible.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S WARSAW SPEECH: PUTIN HAS TO GO.

"Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Mayor, members of the parliament, distinguished guests, and the people of Poland, and I suspect some people of Ukraine that are here. We are gathered here at the royal castle in this city that holds the sacred place in the history of not only of Europe but human kind's unending search for freedom.

For generations, Warsaw has stood where liberty has been challenged and liberty has prevailed. In fact, it was here in Warsaw when a young refugee who fled her home country from Czechoslovakia was under Soviet domination, came back to speak and stand in solidarity with dissidence. Her name was Madeleine Korbel Albright. She became one of the most ardent supporters of democracy in the world. She was a friend with whom I served. America's first woman Secretary of State. She passed away three days ago. She fought her whole life for central democratic principles. And now in the perennial struggle for democracy and freedom, Ukraine and its people are in the front lines.

Fighting to save their nation and their brave resistance is part of a larger fight for essential democratic principles that unite all free people. The rule of law, fair and free elections, the freedom to speak, to write and to assemble. The freedom to worship as one chooses. The freedom of the press. These principles are essential in a free society. But they have always, they have always been under siege. They have always been embattled. Every generation has had to defeat democracy's moral foes. That's the way of the world, for the world is imperfect, as we know. Where the appetites and ambitions of a few forever seek to dominate the lives and liberty of many.

My message to the people of Ukraine is a message I delivered today to Ukraine's foreign minister and defense minister, who I believe are here tonight. We stand with you. Period! Today's fighting in Kyiv and Melitopol and Kharkiv are the latest battle in a long struggle. Hungary, 1956. Poland, 1956, and then again, 1981. Czechoslovakia,1968. Soviet tanks crushed democratic uprisings, but the resistance continued until finally in 1989, the Berlin Wall and all the walls of Soviet domination, they fell. They fell! And the people prevailed.

But the battle for democracy could not conclude, and did not conclude with the end of the Cold War. Over the last 30 years, the forces of autocracy have revived all across the globe. Its hallmarks are familiar ones -- contempt for the rule of law, contempt for democratic freedom, contempt for the truth itself.

Today, Russia has strangled democracy and sought to do so elsewhere, not only in his homeland. Under false claims of ethnic solidarity, there's invalidated neighboring nations. Putin has the gall to say he's 'denazifying' Ukraine. It's a lie. It's just cynical, he knows that and it's also obscene. President Zelenskyy was democratically elected. He's Jewish. His father's family was wiped out in the Nazi Holocaust. And Putin has the audacity, like all autocrats before him, to believe that might will make right.

In my own country, a former president named Abraham Lincoln voiced the opposing spirit to save our union in the midst of the Civil War. He said let us have faith that right makes might. Right makes might. Today, let us have that faith again. Let us resolve to put the strength of democracies into action to thwart the designs of autocracy.

Let us remember that the test of this moment is the test of all time. A criminal wants to portray NATO enlargement as an imperial project aimed at destabilizing Russia. Nothing is further from the truth. NATO is a defensive alliance. It has never sought the demise of Russia. In the lead up to the current crisis, the United States and NATO worked for months to engage Russia to avert war. I met with him in person, talked to him many times on the phone.

Time and again, we offered real diplomacy and concrete proposals to strengthen European security, enhance transparency, build confidence on all sides. But Putin and Russia met each of the proposals with disinterest in any negotiation, with lies and ultimatums.

Russia was bent on violence from the start. I know not all of you believed me and us when we kept saying, they are going to cross the border, they are going to attack. Repeatedly he asserted we had no interest in war, guaranteed he would not move. Repeatedly saying he would not invade Ukraine. Repeatedly saying Russian troops along the border were there for training. All 180,000 of them.

There's simply no justification or provocation for Russia's choice of war. It's an example, one of the oldest human impulses, using brute force and disinformation to satisfy a craving for absolute power and control. It's nothing less than a direct challenge to the rule-based international order established since the end of World War II. And it threatens to return to decades of war that ravaged Europe before the international rule-based order was put in place.

We cannot go back to that. We cannot. The gravity of the threat is why the response of the West has been so swift and so powerful and so unified, unprecedented and overwhelming. Swift and punishing costs are the only thing that are going to get Russia to change its course.

Within days of his invasion, the West has moved jointly with sanctions to damage Russia's economy. Russia's Central Bank is now blocked from global financial systems, denying Kremlin's access to the war fund that's stashed around the globe. We have aimed at the heart of Russia's economy by stopping the imports of Russian energy to the United States.

To date, the United States has sanctioned 140 Russian oligarchs and their family members, seizing their ill-begotten gains, their yachts, their luxury apartments, their mansions. We've sanctioned more than 400 Russian government officials, including key architects of this war. These officials and oligarchs have reaped enormous benefit from the corruption connected to the Kremlin. And now they have to share in the pain.

The private sector has acted as well. Over 400 private multinational companies have pulled out of doing business in Russia. Left Russia completely. From oil companies to McDonald's. As a result of these unprecedented sanctions, the ruble almost is immediately reduced to rubble. The Russian economy -- that's true, by the way, it takes about 200 rubles to equal $1.

The economy is on track to be cut in half in the coming years. It was ranked, Russia's economy was ranked the 11th biggest economy in the world before this invasion. It will soon not even rank among the top 20 in the world.

Taken together these economic sanctions, a new kind of economic statecraft with the power to inflict damage that rivals military might. These international sanctions are sapping Russian strength, its ability to replenish its military, and its ability to project power. And it's Putin, it is Vladimir Putin who is to blame. Period.

At the same time, alongside these economic sanctions, the Western world has come together to provide for the people of Ukraine with incredible levels of military, economic, humanitarian assistance.

In the years before the invasion, we, America, had sent over $650 million, before they crossed the border, in weapons to Ukraine, including anti-air and anti-armor equipment. Since the invasion, America has committed another $1.35 billion in weapons and ammunition. And thanks to the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian people, the equipment we've sent and our colleagues have sent have been used to devastating effect to defend Ukrainian land and air space.

Our allies and partners have stepped up as well. But as I've made clear, American forces are in Europe -- not in Europe to engage in conflict with Russian forces. American forces are here to defend NATO allies. Yesterday I met with the troops that are serving alongside our Polish allies to bolster NATO's front line defenses. The reason we want to make clear is their movement on Ukraine -- don't even think about moving on one single inch of NATO territory. We have sacred obligation. We have a sacred obligation under Article 5 to defend each and every inch of NATO territory with the full force of our collective power.

And earlier today I visited your national stadium, where thousands of Ukrainian refugees are now trying to answer the toughest questions a human can ask. My God, what is going to happen to me? What is going to happen to my family? I saw tears in many of the mothers' eyes as I embraced them. Their young children, their young children, not sure whether to smile or cry.

One little girl said, Mr. President -- she spoke a little English -- is my brother and my daddy, are they going to be okay? Will I see them again? Without their husbands, their fathers. In many cases, their brothers and sisters have stayed back to fight for their country.

I didn't have to speak the language or understand the language to feel the emotion in their eyes, the way they gripped my hand, little kids hung on to my leg, praying with a desperate hope that all this is temporary. Apprehension that they may be perhaps forever away from their homes. Almost a debilitating sadness that this is happening all over again.

But I was also struck by the generosity of the people of Warsaw -- for that matter, all the Polish people -- for the depths of their compassion, their willingness to reach out [applause], for opening their hearts. I was saying to the mayor, they were opening their hearts and their homes simply to help.

I also want to thank my friend, the great American chef Jose Andres, and his team for help feeding those who are yearning to be free. But helping these refugees is not something Poland or any other nation should carry alone. All the world's democracies have a responsibility to help. All of them. And the people of Ukraine can count on the United States to meet its responsibility. I have announced two days ago, we will welcome 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. We already have 8,000 a week coming to the United States of other nationalities. We will provide nearly $300 million of humanitarian assistance, providing tens of thousands of tons of food, water, medicine and other basic supplies.

In Brussels, I announced the United States is prepared to provide more than $1 billion in additional humanitarian aid. The World Food Programme told us that despite significant obstacles, at least some relief is getting to major cities in Ukraine. But not Metripol -- no, excuse me -- not Mariupol because Russian forces are blocking relief supplies.

But we'll not cease our efforts to get humanitarian relief wherever it is needed in Ukraine and for the people who've made it out of Ukraine. Notwithstanding the brutality of Vladimir Putin, let there be no doubt that this war has already been a strategic failure for Russia already. Having lost children myself, I know that's no solace to the people who've lost family but he, Putin, thought Ukrainians would roll over and not fight. Not much of a student of history. Instead Russian forces have met their match with brave and stiff Ukrainian resistance. Rather than breaking Ukrainian resolve, Russia's brutal tactics have strengthened the resolve. Rather than driving NATO apart, the West is now stronger and more united than it's ever been.

Russia wanted less of a NATO presence on its border but now he has a stronger presence, a larger presence with over 100,000 American troops here along with all the other members of NATO. In fact, Russia has managed to cause something I'm sure he never intended. The democracies of the world are revitalized with purpose and unity found in months that we've once taken years to accomplish.

It's not only Russia's actions in Ukraine that are reminding us of democracy's blessing. It's our own country, his own country, the Kremlin, it's jailing protesters. Two hundred thousand people who have allegedly already left. There's a brain drain leaving Russia. Shutting down independent news. State media is all propaganda. Blocking the image of civilian targets, mass graves, starvation tactics of the Russian forces in Ukraine.

Is it any wonder as I said that 200,000 Russians have all left their country in one month. A remarkable brain drain in such a short period of time. Which brings me to my message to the Russian people. I worked with Russian leaders for decades. I sat across the negotiating table going all the way back to Soviet Alexei Kosygin to talk arms control at the height of the Cold War. I've always spoken directly and honestly to you, the Russian people. Let me say this, if you're able to listen. You, the Russian people, are not our enemy. I refuse to believe that you welcome the killing of innocent children and grandparents, or that you accept hospitals, schools, maternity wards and for God sake's being pummeled with Russian missiles and bombs. Or cities being surrounded so that civilians cannot flee. Supplies cut off and attempting to starve Ukrainians into submission.

Millions of families are being driven from their homes, including half of all Ukraine's children. These are not the actions of a great nation. Of all people, you, the Russian people, as well as all people across Europe still have the memory of being in a similar situation in the late '30s and '40s. Situation in World War II still fresh in the minds of many grandparents in the region. Whatever your generation experienced, whether it experienced the siege of Leningrad or heard about it from your parents and grandparents. Train stations overflowing with terrified families fleeing their homes. Nights sheltering in basements and cellars. Mornings sifting through the rubble in your homes. These are not memories of the past. Not anymore. Because it's exactly what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine right now.

March 26, 2022, just days before we're at the 21 -- you were a 21st century nation, with hopes and dreams that people all over the world have for themselves and their family. Now, Vladimir Putin's aggression have cut you, the Russian people, off from the rest of the world, and it's taking Russia back to the 19th century. This is not who you are. This is not the future you deserve for your families and your children. I'm telling you the truth, this war is not worthy of you, the Russian people. Putin can and must end this war. The American people will stand with you, and the brave citizens of Ukraine who want peace.

My message to the rest of Europe, this new battle for freedom has already made a few things crystal clear. First, Europe must end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels. And we, the United States will help. That's why just yesterday in Brussels I announced the plan with the president of the European Commission to get Europe through the immediate energy crisis. Over the long-term, as a matter of economic security and national security and for the survivability of the planet, we all need to move as quickly as possible to clean, renewable energy. And we'll work together to help to get that done so that the days of any nation being subject to the whims of a tyrant for its energy needs are over. They must end. They must end.

And second, we have to fight the corruption coming from the Kremlin to give the Russian people a fair chance. And finally, most urgently, we maintain absolute unity, we must, among the world's democracies. It's not enough to speak with rhetorical flourish of ennobling words of democracy, of freedom, of quality, and liberty. All of us, including here in Poland, must do the hard work of democracy each and every day -- my country as well. That's why, that's why I came to Europe again this week with a clear and determined message for NATO, for the G7, for the European Union, for all freedom-loving nations -- we must commit now to be in this fight for the long haul. We must remain unified today and tomorrow and the day after. And for the years and decades to come. It will not be easy. There will be costs. But it is a price we have to pay because the darkness that drives autocracy is ultimately no match for the flame of liberty that lights the souls of free people everywhere.

Time and again history shows that. It's from the darkness moments that the greatest progress follows. And history shows this is the task of our time, the task of this generation. Let's remember the hammer blow that brought down the Berlin Wall, the might that lifted the Iron Curtain were not the words of a single leader, it was the people of Europe, who for decades fought to free themselves. Their sheer bravery opened the border between Austria and Hungary for the Pan-European Picnic. They joined hands for the Baltic Way. They stood for solidarity here in Poland. And together it was an unmistakable and undeniable force of the people that the Soviet Union could not withstand. And we're seeing it once again today for the brave Ukrainian people showing that their power of many is greater than the will of any one dictator.

So in this hour, let the words of Pope John Paul burn as brightly today. Never ever give up hope. Never doubt. Never tire. Never become discouraged. Be not afraid! 

A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never erase a people's love for liberty. Brutality will never grind down their will to be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. We will have a different future, a brighter future, rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light. Of decency and dignity and freedom and possibilities. For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power. God bless you all. And may God defend our freedom, and may God protect our troops. Thank you for your patience. Thank you. Thank you." - President Joe Biden.

NATIONALISTIC FERVOR FOR MOTHER RUSSIA: DRIVING PUTIN TO THE DANGER ZONE.

ICHEOKU says the Russian strongman has probably reached a point of no return and now headed straight into his final eclipse. He cannot recover from the premeditated war which he launched against Ukraine and as the war goes, so goes Putin. His being readmitted back into the civilized committee of nations will be very difficult, if not impossible. Ukraine is steadily looking like the quagmire which finally swallowed him up, his Waterloo sort of; admitted many are still watching with giddy to see how his final last chapter will be eventually written, but it won't be flattering nor kind or forgiving. 

Unfortunately, it has always been condemnations of President Vladimir Putin as none of the pundits, talking heads, writers and molders of opinions of the war has ever pondered the why? What possibly triggered President Vladimir Putin and incensed him so much, to the extent that he threw every caution to the winds and went in head first into Ukraine. Why did Putin make the decision and exercise the choice to invade Ukraine despite the threats of punishing sanctions against Russia and a global plea for him not to do so, which he simply ignored as a dismissible nuisance and ordered his army into Ukraine?

The Russian strongman has repeatedly vented out his frustrations against the West, particularly the erosion of Christian-Judaeo values which hitherto provided the anchor of society and the orbit on which it rotates. He has also complained times without number, the inroad which homosexuality is making into the society and the attempt to cancel heterosexuality and traditional mother and father family units. He is also appalled that the United States of America has become too woke-centric and increasingly spending too much time pandering to societal diminishment rather than leading the world from the front. 

The attack on Ukraine is but an avenue to vent his long bottled up anger at the West, its woke culture, its antipathy to God and the Christian religion and the wide embrace of homosexuality and every other thing which he considers and sees as debasement of the civilized society. He had lashed out before about the way Western civilization is being torpedoed by things strange and unusual, and to some extent bordering on abnormality. 

He has watched as values which hitherto held societies together are steadily being drastically watered down and in some cases, outrightly washed away or canceled and being replaced with  such absurdities as extended pronouns, males being allowed to compete as females in female sports, men debasing womanhood by pretending to be women or "pregnant" or women with uterus and vagina pretending to be men. He also witnessed the bathroom law debate and increasingly questioned himself on why Russia should continue to submit to such a country which propagates such ideas. 

In short, President Vladimir Putin was triggered by the cancerous woke culture of the West and now Ukraine is at the receiving end of his fist of fury, thunder and brimstone. In his mind, the war he is waging against Ukraine is a war against the West and their skewed values. He sees it as a justifiable cause, as he is trying to stop the bleeding which woke culture is exacting on humanity in order to forestall an assured mass decay of every strata of the human society. 

Although his belief is largely misguided as the world has since evolved and moved on, it is still a belief which he strongly nurses and understanding the same might help provide an inroad into his mind and also an opportunity to smooch his ego towards ending the war. ICHEOKU concedes that Putin having such a mindset should not provide him a carte blanche freedom or right to operate as the sole soldier of conscience of the world or to do what he is doing in Ukraine. 

The world has since abandoned some of these societal foundational values in the name and "interest" of getting along with the vocal but more vicious minorities, and President Vladimir Putin should try and cope with it and hop on the train. He cannot remain the only sane person in the land of insanity and if the majority says that is how things are going to be, who is President Vladimir Putin to say otherwise. It might be unfortunate and/or disheartening to the much older generation, but that is the new reality and necessary adjustments must be made, the bitter pill. 

He is so mad at the West that he is now readying to purge Russia of people he considers as having pawned their heads rent free to the West. He called them some unflattering names including scums, bastards and traitors and expressed the wish and desire to get rid of them through a self-cleansing of Russian society. He was so pissed off that he added for good measure, that such Russians Western stooges should be spat out of Russia's mouth like an unwanted gnat which accidentally flew into one's mouth.

If only President Vladimir Putin is not an inveterate liar who usually says one thing while doing another, a Pharisee, may be his arguments in favor would have packed a punched weight. A man who as recently as last month assured the world that his amassed Russian troops at the border of Ukraine was only conducting military exercises and will not invade Ukraine; and who also divorced his wife of thirty something years but refuses that Ukraine will divorce his Russia, has such a garden-variety latent and inherent capacity to mislead that he has gathered multiple Pinocchios. 

He complained that the West wants to violate Russia's territorial space and weaken its cohesion; yet that is exactly what he has done and is doing in Ukraine. He complained that Ukraine has a Nazi government which he wants to deNazify, yet ignored the fact of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Jewishness and ancestry. He complained that the West wants to dismember Russia, but who has removed Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk from Ukraine or is that not dismembering Ukraine? If the West does not want a strong and sovereign Russia, why then does Putin not want the same for Ukraine? 

How the current Russia's military adventurism in Ukraine will conclude nobody can actually say. Everyone is hoping that it ends sooner than later and before Ukraine is completely destroyed and ruined; and that the foray will stop in Ukraine and not exacerbate into surrounding countries. One thing nobody will take away from President Vladimir Putin is his abiding love for his Mother Russia. He is possessed by it and he is willing to do anything for it, including even perishing in the process. Paraphrasing Kenny Loggins song Danger Zone, President Vladimir Putin is on a highway to the danger zone and dragging the world along with him as he rides into the danger zone. May God protect his people IJN.

UKRAINE FUMBLED THE BALL IN THEIR DEFENSE STRATEGY: WALL OF JERICHO & TROJAN HORSE.

ICHEOKU says whoever the defense minister or defense chief of the Ukraine is that crafted how to defend against the Russians did not do a proper job. It is a great defense error of judgment to make one's position or place or homeland the theater of a conflict. Notwithstanding that the Russians invaded them, they should have mounted their defense at the border of Ukraine. They should not have allowed the Russians to first get into Ukrainian cities before putting up the belated effort now being seen, when Russians have already saturated their land, destroying it one city at a time from within, and with such a great vengeance and vengeful animosity. 

It was a huge mistake for them to have allowed the Russians a free stroll into Ukraine and would have taken a page from so many stories of past armies which defended their cities and nations from foreign invaders. Even if they could not have militarily stopped the Russians at the border, at least they would have forced the issue there and started the wearing out of the Russian troops out there and early enough when they were still several hundreds of miles away from their cities. Even a nuisance distractive engagement at the border would have been sufficient to make the battlefront at the border and not the current country-wide battlefront which overstretched them against a much bigger and larger Russian military. 

Such engagement would have at least slowed the Russians drastically down, as they would have lost some equipment and manpower at the border instead of allowing them to fully steam into Ukraine with their full tank still in place before engaging them. A fierce resistance of the Russians at the border would have surprised and shocked the Russian advance force and leave them second-guessing their mission, wondering what else the Ukrainians might have lying in wait for them inside their country, if they could mount  such a resistance at their border. 

Something definitely went awfully wrong with Ukrainians' earlier response to the Russian invasion. Maybe they were paralyzed with fear of the mighty Russian red army and couldn't timely react when it could have mattered most and made a whole lot of difference. Whether their strategy was to let the Russians to first fully enter their country and then fight them from within inside their country, ICHEOKU does not know; but no thinking person ever freely opens the door of their home to a thief or allows a thief to first gain entrance into their home before defending themselves and their home from such an intruding thief right inside their home. 

It is the reason homes are equipped and sometimes reinforced with parameter fences, strong doors, burglary proofs, alarms and security cameras; in order to give homeowners and occupiers of dwellings advanced heads-up or warning about bad intentioned persons. This helps them to stop such intruders before they make their entry as they can dial 911, pull out their gun and be ready to shoot the intruder through the door if need be. The best defense is always an offense and by preventing the staging of a conflict inside, injuries, loss of lives as well as destruction of properties are reduced to minimum.

The worst part of it all was that the Ukrainian government and military got early warning about the Russian invasion several moons before the Russians finally barged right through the borders into Ukraine. Instead of readying their defenses to meet the Russian challenge, Ukrainians were busily distracted with hoping that President Vladimir Putin will not attack them because they are all Slavs and share close affinity to one another. They appear to be too naive also not to trust American and other Western intelligence that were eavesdropping on Russia to learn of the impending invasion. It is possible too that they initially lacked the will to defend their country from the Russians?

The lesson from the Wall of Jericho and the Trojan Horse stories is that the defense of any place, be it home, city or as in the case of Ukraine, country, primarily rests at the border. It is the principal first point of contact which any invading force must first breach before they can enter and conquer or vanquish their target place. It is therefore expected that resistance from the victim will be strongest at the border, the reason the Wall of Jericho has to first fall before the Israelites army could march in and conquer Canaan. Ditto the hidden Greek soldiers inside the Trojan Horse (fake trophy to Troy) have to first be smuggled through the gate of Troy before they conquered Troy. 

The Russians were literally allowed to "walk" into Ukraine, meeting little to no resistance as they breached the border and at one point had a forty mile long military convoy sit at one place for nearly one week without any consequences from the Ukrainians. The same thing happened when the Russians seized Crimea in 2014 using their little green men, without meeting any fight, resistance or contest from the Ukrainians. Whether it is fear of the Russians or lack of adequate preparation or lack of weapons, only the Ukrainians would tell us what took the steam out of them and prevented them from engaging the Russians at their border.

History and posterity will not be kind to the military planners of Ukraine who failed to confront the Russians at the border and allowed them to permeate Ukraine, freely drove in through many roads and now laying siege and claim to some sections of many Ukrainian cities. Even an ordinary piling up of dirt in large numbers on the roads or extensively digging up the roads leading into Ukraine would have done the magic of confining the Russians around the border and making the frontiers of Ukraine the theater of war, instead of watching Russian tanks prying the streets of Ukrainian cities and wrecking such a havoc on Ukraine. 

So, while President Volodymyr Zelensky can be frantic all he wants, seeking a NATO or America to blame for the hell which Ukraine is passing through right now, he and his government and military has a great share of the blame for the manner they approached their defense. First, he dismissed the threat of the Russian invasion and blamed America for hyping the Russian military buildup at Ukraine's border. He called it a false alarm and said that there is nothing to worry or unnecessarily be concerned about. Then he failed to mobilize his military on time nor order them to the border to defend Ukraine's border and prevent the Russians from gaining unauthorized access into Ukraine or at least slowed them down drastically. 

Anyway, the Ukraine war will be studied for a long time as a lesson on how not to effectively defend a country from an invading army. Nobody is saying that Ukraine would have completely prevented the Russians from bringing the war to them, but at least some of the tanks causing great havoc inside Ukraine would have been destroyed at the border, put out of action and decommissioned right there. Some of the soldiers who are presently killing Ukrainians inside Ukrainian cities would have also perished at the border as well. Then add the morals of the Russian troops which would have been greatly dampened, being surprised by Ukrainian soldiers confronting them at the border. 

Although it is now a Monday night quarterbacking and every attention is focused on President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, but, what actually did the Ukrainians do to help protect themselves from such an invasion? What happened to their defense budget and what weapons did they buy with it, afterall the West does not owe them anything. All the West has been doing, supplying them with advanced defensive weapons to help them defend themselves from the Russians is out of pure magnanimity and their hatred of President Vladimir Putin and a tactical decision they made not to allow Putin prevail in the proxy war they are fighting with Russia in Ukraine. 

It was a big fumble not to engage the Russians at the border and Ukrainian cities and people are now paying the price for that failure of defensive judgment. It is sad watching beautiful Ukrainian cities being pulverized by Russian military weapons, with the attendant loss of human lives. The chances of Ukraine recovering from such a massive destruction is steadily nearing a point of difficulty, if not impossible. Who will pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine and how many decades would such a gargantuan "Build Back Better" endeavor take? Maybe the Ukrainian president was too stubborn for Ukraine's good and was too naive not to first obtain an ironclad commitment to fight along with Ukraine from the West, before challenging President Vladimir Putin to do his worst. (Chinua Achebe's nwa nzaa rijuee afor, ochele chi ya ngbaa). There is enough blame to go around and war fatigue is gradually creeping in too.

STOP THE WAR, DON'T BELIVE THE PROPAGANDA, THEY'RE LYING TO YOU.

ICHEOKU says she is a brave-heart sweetheart Russian who took a stand against the war in Ukraine despite the dangers involved in opposing the midget of Kremlin. She is the stuff heroes and heroines are made of and for her extraordinary courage, ICHEOKU says Marian Ovsyannikova has raced herself into immortality. What a history making moment that was. Kudos to her. 

A WAR CRIMINAL: PRESIDENT PUTIN NO LONGER FIT TO STAY IN OFFICE AS RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says his fate is as good as permanently sealed because the international community will never accept him again, going forward, as the legitimate president of Russia. Criminals, including war criminals, belong in jail and not in presidential palaces or government houses anywhere, including the Kremlin. 

President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine without provocation and has been conducting the war therein in a manner that only a bloodthirsty vampiric vermin would; killing innocent people and destroying properties and infrastructure as only a demonic bulldozer would. Therefore, his office let another Russian take as he is no longer recognized as president of Russia.

By invading and levying war on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin violated every known international rule and order governing countries's sovereignty and independence. By the manner he is conducting the war, he also disregarded rules of engagement in wars and has displayed asinine indifference to civilian lives as well as overall human rights. He is bombing churches, shelters, kindergartens, hospitals, maternities, grocery stores, gas stations, residential buildings, schools, electricity grids, water source, roads and bridges as well as other public infrastructures that make life livable in Ukraine. 

He has bombed and killed a pregnant woman readying for delivery together with her unborn child. He has bombed and killed ten innocent civilians waiting in line for bread. He has bombed an elderly man taking a stroll on a sidewalk who luckily escaped from the hellish inferno from the sky. He has also bombed and killed a family of four fleeing from the war. And the toll of his victims keeps on mounting and he does not care who gets killed next as long as he keeps terrorizing the civilian population of Ukraine to force them to surrender. 

A midget of Kremlin whom CNN's Rosemary Church described as "morally and ethically bankrupt", and who President Joe Biden has now formally named a WAR CRIMINAL, cannot and must not survive this his latest infamy and must go with the war. President Vladimir Putin has murdered the sleep of the world, particularly Ukrainians and can sleep no more, never again. His sins are not forgivable and cannot ever be forgiven. 

President Vladimir Putin bit more than he can chew by invading Ukraine and his middle finger affront to the world, which rallied round in their attempt to dissuade him from invading Ukraine, must not go unpunished. He cannot be forgiven and his destructive actions in Ukraine can never be forgotten. It is good that President Joe Biden has now called him out for who he truly is, a war criminal, and that is the conveyor belt that will ride him out of the Kremlin, out of power and possibly, into a prison cell somewhere outside Russia. 

So, regardless of how the current premeditated war which President Vladimir Putin is levying on Ukraine finally ends, the monster of the Kremlin who unleashed the disaster and who has no qualms or compunction about killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child cannot continue in power.  The goblin of Russia cannot be allowed to carry on as Russian president going forward. There is no way the world can, in good conscience, continue dealing with such a vermin or continue to accord him recognition as a world leader. He has unearned the title, lost it.

If the Russian people decide not to do the needful by removing him from power, the world should help force their hand by putting the entire Russian Federation back into the cold and shut them out from the rest of civilized humanity until they are persuaded to remove Putin or Putin resigns in order to save Russia. Enough of tolerating his Napoleon Bonaparte syndrome. He cannot be allowed to continue to carry on with his brigandage of frequently violating the territorial sanctity of Russia's neighbors, one country after another. 

Ukraine should be made his last misadventure, for which he must pay for with either his life or loss of power. The West alongside other countries of the willing, must not yield a space in their demand to deal with only a new Russia without President Vladimir Putin in power. They must not allow him to survive the war and continue as president of Russia. It is either he is killed or toppled from power and if possible, arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned as a war criminal. This  was the bargain he made by defying the world to levy an unprovoked war on Ukraine and so, deserves no mercy, pity or any other favorable consideration. He has to pay the price. 

WHO WILL PAY FOR DESTROYED UKRAINE?

ICHEOKU says the cost of rebuilding Ukraine must be borne entirely by Russia alone, which bears the sole responsibility for destroying the same. Like the Marshall Plan, we can call it the Putin Plan, and whether he likes it or not, use Russia's money to pay for it. The rebuilding and reconstruction of destroyed properties and infrastructure of Ukraine wrought by the premeditated war of choice brought upon it by Russia, paid by Russia will be a way of dissuading any of such future roguery by a stronger state against its weak neighbor or any other victim state however far flung. 

Ukraine will not be another Europe which was destroyed by Germans, only for American taxpayers to bear the cost of rebuilding it, aka the Marshall Plan. This time, the destroyer of Ukraine, Russia, must be held to full account. Every Russia's money and assets outside Russia, both government owned and Oligarchs' owned, must be seized; the assets auctioned off, and the proceeds together with the cash used to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine. The world must not allow President Vladimir Putin to get away with his impunity in Ukraine, he must be personally held to account for his sins against humanity and for his depraved heart destruction of beautiful Ukrainian cities and cannot remain the president of Russia following this war. 

The wanton destruction of Ukraine by Russia which the world is watching play out daily in real time, cannot go unpunished. The demon who ordered the atrocities being perpetrated in Ukraine and his uniformed enforcers who are carrying out the illegal order to maim, kill and destroy in Ukraine must also be held to the fullest extent of the law possible for their actions. If Adolf Hitler was not allowed to get away with what he did to the Jews and Europeans, then Vladimir Putin should not be allowed to walk all over Ukraine and go home fulfilled. 

It is so sad what is happening in Ukraine and it is badder that the West, which normally fights as a "coalition of the willing" has left Ukraine to its own devices and fighting alone without any coalition against the mighty Russian red army. If America or Britain or any other country in the West cannot go it alone in a war, why then does any sane person in all the Western countries that make up NATO think it wise to abandon Ukraine in its hour of greatest need for help and ask it to fight Russia alone? #HelpUkraineStopRussia.
