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.”

Read the posts, lying is lying, making up nutty claims is just that and my posts are accurate.

You launched a very passionate and drawn out personal attack as you do but you did not correct post 31, why not?

True.
Can’t wait for the false flag ops in ernest.
They already launched missiles into Poland and blamed Russia before sane voices said “hold up”.
Wonder what else they’ll do.

You never do, your interest is in personal attacks and emotional responses and seeking emotional interaction on FR, not in accurate information.

Your interest is in trolling and attacking good freepers.

You've been called on your BS by the owner of the site himself.

Like other greasy lying good-for-nothing trolls on Free Republic, you have no shame - even after you're exposed.

You're just here to get off on the disruption and chaos that you cause.

LOL, pure emotion, when you see false information being posted you should respond with the correction, but this emotional process you do is your real interest in being here.

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?

🧐 I knew something smelled funny.

I invite you to take a look at the forward-deployed US strength in both Japan and South Korea, increased and intensive ROK-USA and ROK-Japan-USA training and drills, AUKUS, the new Camp David cooperation agreement between South Korea and Japan (unfathomable), and while you are right that there is indeed a totalitarian/authoritarian-led alliance more closely emerging (esp. Russia-DPRK), from what I see here the Free World Alliance including Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, USA, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, UK, Canada is actually getting stronger and stronger, dealing with interoperability issues, rapid response, and joint operation command and control. Nobody I know is talking that disastrously here, though they are alert and don't dismiss Beijing, Pyongyang, or Moscow, at all. Case in point: EU and Japan/Korea:

At the very least, you have your dates correct:

The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2014. Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia occupied and annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported pro-Russian separatists (as well as infused Russian military under cover of local separatists) fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas war.

What version of ATACMS is being used. There is multiple but the older shorter range ones are cluster.

All according to those words spoken about taking down the US a few notches, or was it a blck eye, by a certain Mr. Obama many years ago.

We have certainly turned friends into acquaintances, and adversaries into enemies. It has been done malice by the DNC and years of Hoaxes and blaming imaginary boogie men.

Guess American wants a war to anchor our financial & economic hegemony. We have entertained a generation improvious to WWIII. Amazing what was accomplished by the in 17 years.

You are correct, and maybe dead right. Thanx!

———-
I am not a supporter of corrupt senile Joe, his war, nor corrupt St Zelensky. The Ukrainian people are much like us, saddled with corrupted leadership.

St Zelensky ran on a platform of Peace with Russia. He deceived, the West deceived, meddled, and here we are.

I have no need for and interest for Joe Biden but I will say that under the previous administration it was precisely a case where friends became acquaintances and are very adversaries became appeased friends… At least they’re not friends in my book, Venezuela, Hong Kong under the Chinese, red China, North Korea, and Russia.

Just today for the next days, South Korea, the United States, and Japan will conduct the first massive multi-area joint training of the three countries, ‘Operation Freedom Edge’, at the southern high seas of Jeju Island. This will piss off North Korea all right but it’s very important for our readiness and interoperability. South Korea, the U.S. and Japan are also showing off their stronger unity while they are closer militarily, such as signing a treaty equivalent to an alliance on the occasion of the summit.

This training will be held out of the three-country summit held at Camp David August last year when it was agreed to implement multi-area training. Earlier this month, the defense ministers of the United States and South Korea agreed on a plan to implement the Freedom Edge at a three-country meeting on the occasion of the Shangri-La conversation in Singapore. He’s are all productive and positive things happening in Asia regardless of whether we support the administration or not… In your news sources are you even getting any of this information or can you see the scale of it in the unprecedented nature of the cooperation in Asia…? It just doesn’t jive with your “we are eroding our alliances”

First, Ukraine has likely gotten 170-mile M48 or 190-mile M57 ATACMS with 470-pound warheads in addition to getting M39 and M39A1 ATACMs with submunitions. Second, the M48 and M57 are more accurate than many observers assumed. The Soviet’s S 500s… We’re certainly no match for them.
This is striking a chill in the heart of Putin’s heart for he cannot afford to have Crimea attacked like this, in Sevastopol and hitting Russia’s Center for Long-Range Space Communications in the village of Vitino in the Saky region was cake icing, and other places in the psychological damage it is starting to create but it’s just a forerunner to what I suspect will be increased missile and drone attacks and sealing Crimea off from Kherson and Melitopol, taking out the Kerch bridge again (or the ferries too) you name it. Lots of target rich RF military things to consider

Sources I find openly speak of the dimished status of the United States as realiable because after implementing “unlawful measures” to steal the 300B or so from Russia; something pointed out in over 40 years was not done to Iran, scares the hell out of other nations, especially those with positive relations with China, Russia and Africa. Sanctions and the shifting sands of Biden’s “Rules based International Order” - againt shortsighted gains for long term damage.

I read from a variety of other sources form these, but the have a pulse on current daily events.

https://usa.liveuamap.com/

The Duran Alex and Alex

History Legands is insight and yet funny

I read the Russian Government ministries as well as our State Department. I scan the MSM in the west but it is raw-raw war escalation, etc.

Biden Admin appears to be running out of time. Maybe this is why unprecedented extra-legal measures are used domestically and internationally to achieve his goals; becasue one must legally stop Biden and his merry band of thugs, this is not lost on the world. Time. Somethiing the DNC has wasted and needs more. Trump advancing his advisor’s Ukraine/Russian proposal was sheer genius. It allows Trump to punish those who impeached him, and force the west to negotiations; something Russia has all said they will do, sit and talk, and negotiate. The void between the two sides is given a incentive to Ukraine to talk fast now, or as we Bush did brilliantly in Chad (remove leaders who won’t talk by killing them), eventually you get to someone who is left in charge and doesn’t want to die.

By the time Trump is president, our 1T monthly injection into our economy will have destroyed his ability to fix it. The Obama/Biden regime is throwing a monetary hissy fit, designed to ensure the conditons for their continued destruction of the service economy devouling into an EU styled socialism will leave consumers not much money or ability to spend outside their kitchens.

Too bad the Democrats are so invested in the EU model, because had we opted for the Asian model there would be lots of individuals engaged in economic pursuits supporting themselves.

Our military is still the greatest on earth. But one wonders if we can afford not to maintian its vast reach. Economic considerations have one big positive area - the MIC will have to replace all the prior generations of equipment - Trump will have a Regean Military ReArment Moment, and the MIC is currently the engine that must be used to pull the US out of its product downturn. Reagan’s buildup was contingent on Carter’s budgets - timing. Since 2007 the US has replaced economic activity with QEs to increase what the Fed Res was about to stimulate and manage. No longer can the Fed lend money, increasing the money supply by repayment of debt. Now we see China, Japan and many others forgoing UST’s for their own needs. The worlds central banking is seeing a managed QE program between nations growing their internal money supplies leaving allowing the US to maintain the status quo.

The countries where QE can’t fix their problems, are the ones joining seeking entrance into Brics. Eventualy, the poor with have their own economic bubble, and rich will in the US economic bubble. The poorer nations will have value for value, but the west will continue to need to buy cheap externally and sell high internally.

Mismanagment of the Oil and NG or esentially the NEW GREEN Policies are in a sense the reason our economy, and by extension the EUs economy are struggling. Trying to kill the energy trade worldwide is another reason countries consider when going into Brics.

The Asian Times and Asian news sources are usually something their readers can take to the bank.
