ALI VELSHI, MSNBC: We are past the point of sanctions and strongly-worded condemnations and the seizing of oligarchs’ megayachts.
It is no longer sufficient as the evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity continue to grow. Vladimir Putin has no regard for life or humanity or even the rules of war.
He is proven this time and time again, and also pursued the indiscriminate killing of civilians time and time again. Twice before in Ukraine and in Chechnya, the global world order and potentially democracy’s survival have hung in the balance.
If this is not the kind of moment that the United Nations and NATO and the UN and the G-20 and the Council of Europe and the G-7 were made for, what was the point of these alliances if not to stop this?
The world cannot sit by as Vladimir Putin continues this reign of terror.
