7. Putin follows a long line of inhumane, despotic leaders of Russia.

He may not have murdered as many people as Stalin, but he has caused many deaths without mercy as he consolidated his power and his wealth. Putin is evil incarnate, and Western leaders need to recognize that id they haven’t already. He is starving the people in Mariupol to death before our eyes, allowing no food or water to enter the city. Mariupol had a population of almost 432,000 before Putin attacked. Who knows how many escaped and how many are left, butnit could well be over 200,000. How can we stand by as humans and watch one man destroy a couple hundred thousand people!
