'You can't imagine the conditions' - Accounts emerge of Russian detention camps

3. It has been two months since Russia invaded the Ukraine, the

atrocities of this war keep piling up and increasing. When will the Western Countries finally admit they were wrong all along about this conflict? Putin had no business, right or reason for invading Ukraine, other than to eliminate the population and take over the land. As a whole, the West should have stood up to Putin while he was spending six weeks amassing forces at the border, stating that they would force any intrusion back to the Russian border.

They, we, did not. Now look at the mess that is this war. Ukraine is being leveled inch by inch, their people are being tortured and murdered, and we sit idly by watching it happen. Sure we are shipping weapons and ammo, and thought and prayers (big deal), but what Zelensky needed was man power.

If anyone thinks this is going to end when every single Ukrainian is either dead or has left the country, they are wrong. Russia will take a break and then pick another country to invade and conquer. Putin will not stop because no one is facing up to him or calling his bluff. It is obvious the Russian army is not the feared military machine we have been taught to believe it is in the last sixty years. It is old, weak with poor leadership and a crappy chain of command structure. The main hole card for them is they have nukes. Certainly nothing to trifle with, but still, just a bluff. Somewhere down the road, there has to be push back against Putin's aggression. I feel that was two months ago, but the next two to six months will reveal if we are doing the right thing now, or if it was a gigantic blunder.
