Greenfield,
Mass. (Special to Informed Comment) – April, the month tax filings are due,
prompts us to ponder what our income taxes pay for. Are they used to provide all citizens
sufficient resources and public goods for human security and well-being – the
core of our national security?

In late March, the United Nations
issued a new report on war crimes being committed by both Russian and Ukrainian
forces. The document provides a shocking litany of brutal behavior on the part
of both militaries, although the investigators concluded that Russian units
have committed the majority of offenses. Given the extent of Western pressure
and the UN’s own biases, it is hard to determine the accuracy of that
conclusion. However, the evidence cited of Ukrainian abuses is far from
trivial.
