UKRAINE DARKNESS: Kiev Fires ATACMS With Cluster Munitions at Crimean Beachgoers, as Russia Rips Its Power Infrastructure – Citizens Receiving Just 8 Daily Hours of Energy
Gateway Pundit ^ | 24 Jun 24 | Paul Serran

The US-made long-range ATACMS missiles supplied by the Joe Biden Administration from hell to Kiev may not be the game changer they expected, but it sure turned the Day of the Holy Trinity holiday into a bloody tragedy on a Crimean beach.

Russia immediately stated that the US was responsible for the attack with five missiles that killed four people, including two children, and injured 151 more.

Reuters reported:

“The Russian Defense Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air Defense systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.

Footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers.”

Watch: US ATACMS Cluster munitions strike Russian Civillians on a beach near Sevastapol., A US recon drone had scouted the area. 5 are dead, including children, 124 people have been reported injured five of them children who are in intensive care. US weapon, US Intel, Russian Dead. (Chay Bowes at X).

Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out’, the ministry said.”

5. Chose to use Cluster Munitions
————
Good summary. Being somewhat of a munitions expert, I find the use of cluster anti- personnel munitions appalling, but remember the Ukies have documented use of these munitions on civilian markets in Donetsk and Belgorod and they were US supplied. The available video and pictures confirm they were NATO western munitions.

My take, the Ukies are using the US supplied drone intelligence for these terror attacks- question: is the US giving their approval? Or are the Ukies making these terror attacks withoutUS approval goading the Russians into taking down the US drones in effect trying to drag the US directly into the war?

The Ukies are clearly off their chain. Monitoring non Western MSM, the world is outraged over this terror attack- especially with the geo located video of the attack spreading across the internet.

In any case, I am sure Vlad will take “ appropriate “ action. The Russian people’s outrage insures this.

Not a bit of this nonsense would be happening if Russia hadn’t first have invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022.
————
……Or if the Ukies had honored the Minsk agreement and not begin shelling Donetsk and ethnic Russian provinces in 2014. This war began in 2014, and the US meddling and over throw of the elections is fact.

US’s “ Project Ukraine “ has failed, miserably. The consequences have severely weakened us. Prepare for the US becoming “ weak and irrelevant “ in world affairs, not my words, but many world diplomats….

Very good video. Let’s hope it makes the rounds…” The US has lied, cheated, …” encroached and invaded.

What is coming is our “ reward”. Pray hard for Trump, he will be the only one that can manage effectively our decline….our world “ decline” is not a bad thing.

Just stop with the equivocation, plese. Your snarky comments are expired. There is a WAR. There is no talk. There is only continued escalation as Russia overcomes each and every weapons system sent by Washington.

Let’s talk about cluster munitions instead. Most of the world outlawed them. Yet Washington introduced them to this theater of war. Most of the world said long ago cluster munitions were in the category of war crimes, but Biden sent them anyway to kill Russians. Only after a shortage of conventional munitions were cluster munitions sent to Ukraine for last years offensive... Russia is using with great effect on Ukraine.

I hope you have fabulos day.

Brics is the group which the short sighted Washington Isolationists miscalculated. When China and Russia, North Korea and Russia both form military agreements with Russia we can no longer simply pivot to Asia. We now have a one front military good for two weeks against a 2.5 front military alligance. We are burning down the international order and it is real assembling itself into an alternative to the US led international order.

The CIA is well known for fighting their own war within America’s wars. That it requires the reaper drone intelligence, and US personnel with TOP SECRET CLEARANCES to handle the CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEY MATERIEL to program the targeting data this was sanctioned by US SECURITY CLEARNANCE HOLDING PERSONNEL.

We supplied the crpto, the coordinates, the fingers to load it, the munitions, the drone surveillence and we pay the paychecks of every Ukrainian civil servant and soldier. Without the US, Ukraine does not exist.

Ukraine is financially propped up and Biden paid for all it while lining his pockets.

Yep.

And there's no contradiction in praying for the survival of the American Republic at the same time we pray for the demise of the American Empire.

I like the excuses for dropping ATACMS on civilians, this was purposely done as that munition is satellite/gps guided meaning someone put in those target coordinates.
It’s absolutely insane.

Not just long ago, a list was compiled of Congressman who have/ had dealings with Ukraine’s corrupted financial system and their known shell companies….about twenty names, children ( Hunter), politicians, etc….there were Republicans on that that list and is no longer on the internet.

We need another full scale investigation.

What a load, Russia was using cluster rounds from the beginning, the cluster ammo we finally sent to Ukraine are the ones that President Trump saved from being removed from inventory and being destroyed, their use against the military is NOT a war crime, and since when did you start pushing the idea that America needs to join international liberals and non-fighting countries in telling us and President Trump what weapons we should have?

Your spin, my spin neither of us can agree even to disagree.

However, you love our country as much as I do.

So its time to pray for our military, and remember why they defend Amerika today.

Biden and Obama have broken the peace which was no broken even during the Cold War. Our Amb has been informed. Of cousre your immediate incantation is to write, and you probably will, that Russia did it. I will concede your made made the diplomatic notification as truth, but the provacations reached their limits.

Your Ukrainian supporters cheer for an escalation to this uneasy peace in the breaking. You will be happy when Americans are killed for Ukraine because this is a good war against evil. Tell it to families after they’ve been tagged, bagged, zipped and shipped.

Let’s agree to disagree and love our military enough to want peace.

I like peace initiative Trump has given coursery approval.

I say Ukraine used cluster rounds in 2014.

Your argument is with me and if your prove me wrong then I will prove you wrong. Your job is so easy because everything you reference is DNC/MSM approved.

You see, there is nothing much from Biden, his CIA/MSM, DNC/MSM about domestic politics or foreign affairs I trust, and it has been BS for so long I find your realiance on our MSM insultingly lazy.

Its not you personally it is your highly DNC sourced materiels. Americans are blind. I didn’t totally wake up until I was in the State Department and suffered the endless spin.

Im sorry and I appologize to you if I have offended you.

However, our MSM has lost all conservatives even before Obama, and to rely on them about Ukraine is a nonstarter.

If you are really interested finf independent news not party to this conflct.

https://liveuamap.com is a telegram site that links to sources. It covers the world. Go two or three sources deep.

Dozens of nonBiden approved sources.

See post 31.

You add so many lies even to your rambling personal attacks, making up false politics, and false claims that are silly on their surface and which you know are lies, you have no limits, you just spew stuff out.

You appear to be a senile jerk.

You've been warned by The Boss about this kind of trolling before, you old pimple:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3310145/posts?page=115#115

That was back in 2015 when you were harassing freeper onyx, and starting in with your usual abusive rounds of posts, calling other freepers "liars" and "trolls".

The Ultimate Judge of FR put the Forever Stamp of Shame on your senile noggin, and we will know you for what you are, forever.

Begone, creep.

See my post #39 about the trolling little creep.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4246535/posts?page=39#39

BTW - did you know that he disappeared from Free Republic for SEVEN years after the 2016 FR primary wars [probably a NeverTrumper], and only re-appeared in 2022 when he got re-activated by his neocon handlers for the FR Ukraine propaganda wars?

This creepy assaultive behavior is his usual mode of operation. He projects his behavior upon his debate opponents.

That’s what he got smacked down for in 2015.
