The visuals of gruesome killings and destruction from Bucha stunned the world, but no country came forward to say we will make a determined effort to get Putin to take back his brutally offensive forces.
The only things the watching world has done is to provide Ukraine with weapons to fight the aggressor and to provide bare essentials of living for fleeing noncombatant people.
The real need is to compel Russia to stop the killing and get Russia out of Ukraine. But that isn’t on anyone’s mind.
It provides a shocking and worrying picture of how far the world can walk with those in deep trouble. It will do a little, but not all that is needed to fully alleviate someone from total distress. It surely will not put itself at complete risk in helping others get completely out of their miseries.
We humans can make phenomenal strides in knowledge acquisition, but we cannot fully overcome self-centeredness and the compulsive craving for self-preservation.
