In the last few hours, a photo of a Ukrainian girl sitting on a window with a lollipop in her mouth and a rifle in her hand has gone viral. In her hair she wears a blue and yellow ribbon, colors of the Ukrainian flag. She looks outside, as if she is watching. She was even shared on Twitter by the former president of the European Council, Donald Tusk.
The picture was taken by the girl’s own father, the Kiev photographer Oleksii Kyrychenko and published on their Facebook and Instagram accounts with the title “Young girl with candy”, “girl with a candy”.

If U.S. Marines invading Japan had been met by some of those same children, armed and killing U.S. Marines, I would find it difficult to claim moral superiority.
Had the Japanese experienced more success in the War and invaded California and, knowing some of the misconduct by Japanese forces in China and elsewhere, I am not sure that I would consider it a war crime to arm American children.
Too many Americans, I think, want to pretend that war is like a refereed boxing match, rather than the life or death struggle that it virtually always becomes.
You said: “Why did you post this knowing some would pass out from worry and concern?”
First, when we consider how her neighborhood is in danger of changing (?) and then consider the lack of social rules regarding male-female relationship normally shown by occupying armies throughout history, and -finally- also consider her age, sex and size... I sincerely hope she knows how to shoot that shotty and can remove (or redesign) whatever part of a rapists face shows from under his helmet. PTSD is a serious problem but if it’s combined with a slit throat it becomes incurable.
Oh no, you’ll trigger concern snowflakes with that comment.
Assuming it’s real, I wonder how much Dad paid for the M-60.
Too many Americans want to pretend that war is a video game.
Why are her hair ribbons the Ukrainian flag then?
The "Dad" in the picture is a US Congressman who has plenty of resources to buy whatever he wants due to his success as a business owner and inventor in his younger years.
$70k to buy it, and probably $500 a minute to operate it.
This comment didn’t age well
Yes, looks like a pump 12ga. Maybe a Benelli.
That’s not a rifle.

At least no kids are used to solicit money from tv viewers; with their pot bellies showing and the flies crawling on their faces.
Turning the channel you can either save a whale, polar bear or wolf for the same $19!!
For many, it is.
“...you can either save a whale, polar bear or wolf...” for the same $19 as a child. Wow!
Reminds me that back when I was single you could be on a dating site called Big Church for Christian singles, but the same outfit also sponsored the fag friend finder site and the whip and chain connect up spots.
