7. The Hague told them to withdraw

and not only did they not do that, they have started a new offensive against Odesa. Why can't the Hague declare Putin a war criminal subject to arrest? I know that it would play hell to actually catch him, but a public announcement would be worth something. It would come from the UN, not the USA, and that would mean it comes from the world. China could not veto that, either.

The atrocity at Bucha is proof that the UN should deploy their forces to protect civilians. Take it to the GA where Russia and China can't veto the resolution, and then kick Russia out of Ukraine. And, Crimea. And, Georgia. And, Moldova.

And, we are going to sit on the sidelines and do nothing while Russia reduces Odesa to rubble and does G-d knows what to the civilian population. The UN should send warships and subs to interdict those Russian ships.
