i am interested, the guardian says it is unable to fully authorise those accounts and has to take themed in terms of prosecution, but somebody made the point that we had a war crimes tribunal set up in the hague and it successfully prosecuted almost all significant figures who were still alive in terms of the conflict in the former yugoslavia. but then they add that thatis yugoslavia. but then they add that that is because they had a consent of the security council powers. russia will not consent to war crimes investigations into itself unless there was a change of regime. yes, and one of the biggest scandals, continuing scandals is that russia is still occupying a bad seatin that russia is still occupying a bad seat in the united nations. what is the point? what is the point of having the united nations? i completely support it and it was created for the right reasons, but what is the point if you are actually letting these perpetrators not just actually letting these perpetrators notjust be part of this club, but actually holding some of the most important positions in its? and, you

the guardian and i think they're right points out that the more draconian sanctions won't work on the oligarchs in moscow is because washington's oligarchs and germany's oligarchs and frances all ago, are their own or their entrepreneurs. they're there, they're together and they're working together in the banks and everything else. so i asked the same question about moscow's military industrial complex. will those influences keep this from being sent home because they are making so much money off of it and incidentally, burden is making lots of money off increase gas prices. so those influences might indeed keep us from having a settlement to this conflict. i hope not, but i know how i know how bad those influences are. even while the children of ukraine, the dying, there are legally they don't have these beneficiaries of this conflict that made it really that made a long that have such lobbying power can prolong a war. yes, yes, they can prolong or war, they can get a war. now if what you want doesn't happen and why, why do you think say saudi arabia wouldn't take joe by the school?
