Now back to Russia.

It seems that evil Senator Mitch McConnell and some of his GOP senator buddies went secretly to Ukraine. If you look at the photo of McConnell with Zelenski, Prez Z doesn't look happy at all. He knows who let Trump get away with slowing down cash to Ukraine while Trump was in office playing his political games. And responsible for letting Russia think they could get away with this war on Ukraine. He was polite and professional, but very few smiles. CNN coverage has a video from the visit.

One wonders how or if the US is backing the process of trying war criminals if we're huge Ukraine supporters but not involved in the International Criminal Court. In theory, the ICC tries cases that aren't investigated and tried by their own countries. So the Ukraine trying Russians isn't an ICC thing but the Russians ignoring their generals and soldiers committing war crimes would be. I guess the reason the US didn't join is because 1) they intend to investigate their own war crimes (unless someone like Trump thinks it's all good) and 2) this way they can't be tried by the ICC. Russia isn't in it either.

Troubled times ahead on the legal front.
