Why would Russia waste an expensive missile on an apartment building. More likely one of the Ukrainian S-300s either shot down the Russian missile or just missed and came back down to earth there. And it was just a small part of the building looking at the picture.

Because one is right and one is wrong.
The analysis per St. Thomas Aquinas “Summa” is perfectly clear.

A very good question.
But the location of the targets, whether the missiles were intercepted or not, shows a major shift in target priorities.
Electric infrastructure tends to be far from civilian areas.

One possibility is that these missiles were intended for bridges and highways, in built up areas (to create rubble) in order to hinder Ukrainian force deployments. A miss would be likely to hit civilians.

You might not like Ukraine, but what possible reason could you have for rooting for Russia?

___________________________________________________

Watching Lindsey Graham and John McCain go to Ukraine and talk !@#$ about Russia in 2016 should clue you in about the instigations that were going on by the US again Russia. Russia isn’t innocent, but if you want a reason, you can watch Linda in action here...

It is absolutely true. You don't want to believe it.

History has proved that car crime trials are governed by the victor. The US and Britain committed war crimes by bombing German and Japanese cities to the ground, killing millions. No war crimes tribunals were held to hold them accountable. Why? They won.

I do not agree. Ukraine is now a Statist Godless puppet of the NWO.

To terrorize and kill Ukrainian women and children and the elderly.

Where are the peacemakers?

Comrade Putin can halt the Russian attacks and pull his troops out of Ukraine at any time to stop the war.

That Russia needs such blatant and demonstrably false propaganda to justify their attack on Ukraine just shows how unjustifiable it is.

Your political hatreds are distorting simple facts.
And forcing you into rationalisations.

There is more than enough in the real world with which to condemn your enemies, without creating fantasies.

I hear you. Most Ukraine apologists don't like talking about Donetsk and Luhansk.

“When will Putin take his troops home?”

Why would he do that when his Russian army is killing Ukes at a rate of 7 Ukes for every 1 Russian?

The only way I can see the Ukraine beating Putin is to have NATO and the US get directly involved in the conflict on a large scale. Once that happens it won’t take very long for it go nuclear.
