Bollestad calls Putin a war criminal

Leader of the Christian Democrats (KRF) Olaug Bollestad believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has set aside all respect for Ukraine.

“Putin is a war criminal. Putin has thrown aside all respect for his own neighbor – at all levels. Broken international agreements. Ignored the international legal order. Raw use of force has been and is Putin’s recipe. 

“There is no reason to believe that indulgence on the part of the West will appease Putin,” Bollestad said in the Norwegian parliament (Storting) after Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre’s statements about the war in Ukraine on Friday.

US President Joe Biden has also called Putin a war criminal. Støre, on the other hand, has said that he does not want to resort to such labels.

  1. … blithely overlooking how Biden&Blinken and the West refusing the Russians the fair security treaty we owed them after our broken security promises … and then Zelensky’s implied threat of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons seems to have been the specific trigger … are what actually caused this tragedy.
    How very coat-tailingly unChristianly pro-war.
    Yet more Lemming Fever.

    Any Christian mention of civil defense/sivillforsvars for our families, in Olaug’s diatribe then … at all?

    Calling each other names and talking down to one another has never solved a conflict. In fact, it exacerbates the problem, no matter what you think of the other person.
