Robert Scales, a retired US major general and a Fox News military analyst, said Tuesday regarding the US involvement in Ukraine that "the only way the US can have any effect in the region is to start killing Russians."
In response, Russia's Investigative Committee has launched a criminal case against him under an article on "Public calls for unleashing an aggressive war through the mass media." The investigators believe that such statements "break not only the norms of the Russian legislation but Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, which prohibits any war propaganda and any instigation of discrimination, enmity or violence."
