Russia only looks silly trying to deny responsibility; but even stupidity isn’t a crime.
Stupidity in the conduct of an unlawful war is a crime. No Russian transnational unlawful warfare, no deaths.
Russia is fully culpable here and for the over 1,000 Ukrainians they have already killed in pursuit of political goals. Those deflecting blame are supporting the murderer of 80 kids so he can attain his desired political outcome.
The shooters are guilty of criminal negligence and need to be tried, then taken out and shot.
No doubt about it.
Beyond that fact, Russia is no where near as responsible as the corrupt bastards who started this all with their coup, a coup defiantly funded and aided by the same one-world scum who helped organize the mobs in Libya and Egypt, once in power chose the worst possible approach to a dealing with people who refuse to go along with the lie that the coup crowd are a legitimate government, an approach they euphemistically call "ATO", and refused to agree to a prolonged truce Russia, Germany, Poland, and other European countries begged them to go along with so the OSCE could deploy in force in Eastern and Southeastern Ukraine.
When Western Ukraine is in turmoil too, we all know who we can rely on to repeat the lame Kiev BS about it all being due to foreign or "Russian" agitators as if people on FR are so stupid they can't figure out that a government run by people who call their opponents subhuman is a government run by fascist scum.
Have a nice day now, ya' hear?
