“Depraved”, “Barbaric”, “Brutal”, these are just a few of the ways the Russian attack on a children’s and maternity Ukranian hospital has been described. The target this time: kids and pregnant women, some of them in labor. Inadmissible. Such cruelty and lack of sensibility is appalling. One of the many war crimes Vladimir Putin is certainly guilty of. Millions of civilians fleeing, leaving everything behind. Families torn apart. It’s still hard to believe that this is actually happening, and it’s not just a movie or a nightmare.
Meanwhile, Nicolás Maduro is meeting with U.S. Officials, “who are considering lifting oil sanctions on Caracas as energy prices surge because of Russia’s war in Ukraine”. Fishy. I often think that most world leaders who apparently hate each other, meet for coffee behind our backs and get on quite well. We never see what’s really going on backstage. We just watch the show, which, as we all know, must go on. Sigh …
