A volley of Ukrainian cruise missiles demolished the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, in Occupied Crimea. The strategic communications directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the attack that took place around noon Sevastopol time this way on social media:
(snip)
Fleet Headquarters was struck by two or three cruise missile, either British Storm Shadow or French SCALP-EG. In this video you can see one of them on short final.
There are reports of several high-ranking officers killed or injured in the attack. Unofficially, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was among the dead.
To understand how we got here, you need to look at Ukrainian military operations over the last two or three weeks. A little over a week ago, Ukrainian cruise missiles and unmanned surface vehicles destroyed two Russian warships, a submarine and a landing ship, and an antiaircraft patrol vessel was damaged while underway. That attack had been set up by a commando raid on a radar and antiaircraft site in Crimea that punched a hole in the air defense belt surrounding Sevastopol. Other antiaircraft sites have been hit in the last two weeks; Last week, an S-400 antiaircraft missile battery covering downtown Sevastopol, the location of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, was taken out.
These attacks opened a corridor for Ukrainian strike aircraft to get very close to Crimea before launching their missiles.

I already explained that in my very first post. You don’t read and comprehend what people write very well. You’re just so triggered with whatever filters you read stuff with you can’t objectively read what someone writes if it isn’t your opinion.
When someone makes a blood libel claim, they usually include the drinking of blood.
Calm down. I don’t know what post you’re referring to, but I did not see an answer to my question as to which side YOU believe is good (if not Russia or the Ukraine).
You’ve never seen me write anything in praise of Zelensky. He’s a corrupt piece of dirt and in truth I believed the Ukies if given western weapons would be heroic and survive maybe three months. It’s 600 days now and while the Ukies cannot win Putin’s forces have shown themselves both brutal and inept. As for right and wrong, Putin ordered the invasion of a sovereign country. And Ukraine was recognized as a sovereign nation by the UN in 1946 being nominated by the USSR. So Putin can take his historic Russia nonsense and stuff it. But you have a point. If Biden withheld support now or limited it by denying any more advanced weaponry that travels beyond the actual battlefield I would support that and I would support SQAB as a negotiated settlement and I would put Putin on notice , as Petain said at Verdun, Ils ne passeron pas.
I’ll leave the ghoulish stuff to you and yours, comrade.
If you want to say “a pox on both houses”, so be it. But the Ukraine made its own bed under 32 years of incompetent or grossly criminal leaders, with the present being the worst. My position from the start was simple: America needs to stay out of it. It’s none of our business.
> What was it a month ago? Do you know?
It has been at 90 seconds to midnight since january.
Hey Kazan, good to see you have stopped lying about the "Special Military Operation" being a Russian War of Conquest. Of course, you are still lying about (checks notes) everything else.
But hey, here is a NSFW video of a few Russian soldiers who won't be able to indulge in all the rape and pillage you so look to inflicting on Ukraine, because they got died from the Globalhomo Agenda, and drone delivered grenades, but mostly drone delivered grenades.
Well, keep looking. Its there.
It’s impressive how porous Russian air defenses have proven against even Soviet junk equipped with NATO PGMs.
This is essentially without SEAD as NATO would introduce and maintain.
Not for long!
You wrote “New World Order.” That goes without saying they’re the bad guys. Globalist oligarchs, Malthusian billionaires, Derp State, etc. Yes, obviously so.
But what I’m asking is whom do you perceive are the good guys ? Is there any government, or do you believe every government on earth or group is compromised ? I’ve laid out why I believe Putin is fighting against said globalist NWO, although you seem to think he’s in on it. I think if he was, he’d be in bed with Plugs the Pedo and all these other globalist regimes, and that there’d be no war or conflict with him at all.
Keep telling yourself that. Crimea was gifted to the Soviet state of The Ukraine on Khrushchev’s orders. That was the only time it was ever outside the state of Russia’s boundaries despite being an ethnically Russian territory. So you only agree with Crimea being Ukrainian because of a Communist dictator.
For you to comprehend how absurd the notion Crimea being Ukrainian is if, say, ex-Gov. Evan Bayh had given everything in Indiana below Indianapolis to the state of Kentucky. That would not mean that all those residents became historically and ethnically Kentuckians.
No, No good guys here. Best to leave it alone.
You’re very frustrating.
There is no “right” side. The nwo is using ALL sides for its agenda.
And btw there are 3 sides in this.
Have you ever considered the real possibility that you can have conflicts where no sides are good/right?
You and me both. Smedley Butler said it best .. "War is a Racket".
Well, you can say there’s only one good guy, and that’s Jesus Christ. I can appreciate that Putin’s enemies are the world’s worst monsters (and FR’s most disreputable and psychotic and Satanic trolls), so that tells me something.
Am very weary of this low-I.Q., specious argumentation.
Like asking, "Well, now that Operation Overlord has been launched, and our troops are streaming into Normandy, America can now abruptly stop financing her military, right? I mean: The conflict is now as good as over, right?"
When Putin's miserable head is rolling through the streets of Moscow, being spat upon by Russian patriots, then the conflict is over.
Regards,
Sure. The Nazis and the Communists in WW2. They were both awful, yet we (FDR) chose to align with the worst of the two, which blew up in our face in the long run. Should’ve stood by and let them each destroy one another. Of course, we also should’ve stayed out of WW1 to allow for a stalemate between the UK and Imperial Germany, but got sucked into that.
