“We told you so.” Syria was a prelude

シリアでのプーチンの成功体験とは、1083の民間施設を爆撃、930人の医療従事者、20940人の市民の殺害、法で禁じられた兵器の使用、やりたい放題やっても、罪に問われなかったこと。もしこれらの戦争犯罪に国際社会がしっかりと対応していたら、何か変わっていたのかなあ。https://t.co/iE54kvHL1B

Missing white woman syndrome

Syrians have been reacting to the painful events unfolding in Ukraine on social media, not only through an outpouring of sympathy but also with this message to the world: “We told you so.” Syria was a prelude, and a testing ground, for Vladimir Putin’s war in Europe.

世界の・・・というか欧米の反応の違いにはまじびっくりする。 

 Breaking the norms of war by targeting civilians is a common theme of Russia’s tactics in Syria, Chechnya and other regions, and so is undermining medical neutrality and the Geneva Conventions

チェチェン、シリア同様、ルール無用の戦争になるのでは、と懸念する人は多い。

The Biden administration and the international community must confront Putin’s aggression with a show of force, not just with sanctions, and they should consider a humanitarian no-fly zone. Putin should be held accountable for his war crimes in Chechnya, Syria and Ukraine.

これは無理だろうね。
