In Ukraine, The Cities Under Assault Should Be Evacuated!

[JimofPennsylvan]

Leaders of countries in the Free World and major media outlets seem to be in a fog about making a basic effort to stop civilian deaths in the major Ukrainian cities under assault by the Russian Army. In the news you hear countless analysis by knowledgeable people and various governmental officials from a broad range of countries that as the Russian army gets more frustrated with its unsatisfactory success in taking over major cities in Ukraine it will increase the use of its military firepower and there is a concern about the increased loss of life of Ukrainian civilians. That is it, it is like they want to suggest to people to prepared to drop off bunches of flowers at remembrance memorials for these victims of an unjust war. Hey everybody here is a novel idea how about we suggest and promote that these endangered civilians evacuate the cities under assault. Why doesn't the free world try to setup tent cities for these civilians thirty to forty miles south of these war zone cities. Why isn't the Free World saying to organizations that save innocent civilians in wars, like the Red Cross, you guys set up safe camps for these innocent civilians whatever financial resources are needed will be provided we don't want to see civilian massacres here.

On the news in Kyiv you see lines of Ukrainian civilians outside of Grocery stores trying to buy food and there is a thousand vehicle Russian column coming to the city to carry out a military assault on the city. Even assuming that the Russian forces attacking this city were committed to acting like a good military and did not intentionally target civilians which the jury is out on it is urban warfare that is about to unfold with an attacking force which has an abundance of conventional weapons whether it be tanks or airplanes overall residential structures throughout the city are going to be devastated they are going to be shattered with bullets, bombs and rockets it really goes without saying that civilians in those structures are going to be killed and wounded in shocking numbers. There is no reason for civilians to be in that city they do not accomplish any task for the Ukrainian military they don't file a missile at a tank, or throw a hand grenade or shoot a rifle at a Russian soldier. It is just wasting human life for civilians to remain in Ukrainian cities like Kyiv right now. If the Ukrainian civilians evacuate they are not admitting defeat or betraying the country of Ukraine, Ukraine can rebuild its cities and its structures but it cannot rebuild its people. The world has to stop acting like were in a Roman coliseum in ancient times where people in the stands watched people killed in the arena and behaved like it was entertainment. A lot of these Ukrainian civilians in these Ukrainians cities under assault are going to die and they don't have to if they would just simply evacuate, if there was a fire threatening the city they would evacuate, if there was a flood threatening the city they would evacuate. People throughout the world should be calling for these Ukrainians to evacuate otherwise the world is nuts!

They should evacuate? Really? Gee, why didn't anyone think about that? Oh, they did. End of story.

Who was looking out for Iraqi civilians during the 2003 invasion? I was a participant in that hoary old endeavor and let me tell you, I do not remember much concern on the media world stage about US and coalition bombs falling on civilian population centers until long after the occupation had begun. Save your hypocritical concern for your menu choice down at the local diner. No one cared much about the Iraqi's, the Serbs, the Rwandans or the Syrians. Suddenly everyone is in a panic over the deaths of Ukrainian civilians, but only because they despise Russia, Trump, anti-vaxxers and the rest. Your tears are political, ideological in nature. Save them for some crocodile who cares. Pro-tip, most of them are coldblooded.

Well said. You just promoted captain obvious to colonel-general foot in his mouth.

It'd be easier and cheaper just to bomb putin's forces out of Ukraine.
