Note no pictures and no mention of the nationality of those killed and injured. Not even any pregnant civilians.

Completely guessing here, but really doubt if very many of these foreign fighters are pregnant.

Galloway doesn’t name his source in what appears to be an excerpt from a longer video, but he often knows of what he speaks:

14 March: Youtube: 2m12s: Ukraine has imported hundreds of Islamist fighters from Idlib in Syria. What could go wrong?

Gads. Whose bright idea was it to send them there in the first place? And now they’re not going home but off to join other US troops in neighboring countries?

Isn’t this just what Putin claimed as the reason for the Russian invasion in the first place? Security concerns about the accumulation of foreign (Western European and US) forces in Ukraine near its border - and we were assured by our feckless “leadership” that this was all Putin’s paranoid fantasy. Meanwhile they’re dragging us into war as fast as they can.

Need a shower after wading through this thread, to rinse the GRU, Mossad, and The Company (See Aye Yay!).
