Dozens wounded in shelling of Kharkiv, as Russia strikes buildings with suspected cluster munitions

12. No one truly wants a world war, but is the world to watch as Putin murders Ukrainians?

Putin is escalating his attacks, and he has no real way to save face now. Will sanctions be enough to cause a madman to give in? Doubtful. Will the Russian mikitary or his oligarchs act against him? Doubtful. So is the answer to wait weeks for sanctions to hurt Russia enough that forces inside Russia finally force a stop, after the Russian army has destroyed half of Ukraine? The humanitarian aim should be to stop Putin as quickly as possible, not to wait until hundreds of thousands die. I don’t have the answers, but leaving a madman to kill when you have the military power to stop him seems inhumane.
