I started teaching my daughter to shoot at 3 (bb gun) and 6 (.22). I will presume your statement comes from being raised by hover parents, and you lived a bubble wrap childhood.

CLAIM: A photo of a girl on a bus with a rifle shows “life in Ukraine, now.”

This girl is nowhere near a bus.

Propaganda for double sure. Non stop from the Ukie side, of course Soros is proud, he is funding Zelensky’s call for WW3. Just one look at who is supporting Zelensky exposes the agenda- war.

Don’t get sucked in.

From another report:

the girl’s father reconstructs the story behind the shot, Oleksii Kyrychenko, author of the photograph, on his Facebook page. It is in fact a “posed” photo of her 9-year-old daughter. “I took this picture to draw attention to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. It is my rifle – he continues to his father, referring to the weapon in his daughter’s hand – I gave it to him only for the image and it is unloaded”.

And why wasn’t he on the front lines defending Ukraine?

That “fact check” is referring to a different photo. Not this one.

A photo of a girl on a bus with a rifle shows “life in Ukraine, now.”

Where’s the bus?

Good for you. The snowflake mentality of today is sickening. Children are growing up afraid of their own shadows, always wanting some safety nanny overlord to protect them of every real or imagined harm. Then they vote accordingly once they reach voting age.

Rack off. Why can’t you condemn something as wrong without equivocation. Children should not be used as war props. The person who posted this exploitative post prob thought it was good for the ‘cause’. And if no one was around to condemn it you would praise it too. Instead you lamely suggested it shouldn’t have been posted simpky because it gives non warmongers ammo. Not for the fact it was exploitation of a child. You are a complete Cueer Qunt as we like to say downunder

Using your child a a war prop. I can’t believe anyone would do such a thing. You may have a different opinion.

“What does this girl have against the Russian liberators?”

I know! Like you think she’d be proud of getting gang raped by a bunch of Soviet invaders!

“Children should not be used as war props.”

I agree.

Is everything a war prop? It’s a picture a father took of his daughter. It’s not my thing to post family pics or even take selfies much less post them, but that’s what millions of people do every day. Some go viral. Once they are out there, hard to predict what they can be used for. But passing judgement about this mans ability to be a father based on what you see on the internet is pretentious.
