I would think highest priority targets might include ammo plants, arms factories, nitrate factories, diesel stores (fuel for tanks), machine tool factories and metal casting plants.

If there is a Ukrainian anti-aircraft gun nearby there will also be a falling Russian bomb or shell as well.

The Russian may also lob shells into parks to rattle the civilians.

If a Ukrainian general is communicating from his residence, the residence might come under fire.

By giving them propaganda fodder so shills like you have something to crow about on forums? Sounds legit.

Doesn't really cost anything but innocent Ukrainian lives, which hold no value to Putin or to Russia.

Civilians in the Donbas have been getting shelled for eight years now in events few Western media found newsworthy.

” So who are the mongols, who claimed to destroy them within 3 days and 3 weeks later can’t get more than 5% of the country ?”

I’ve never heard of such claims. If anyone claimed that they are a fool.

It took Germany several months to defeat Ukraine in WWII...it’s not a small country.

But I suspect the modern Ukraine to surrender in a few months.

said, "Hey maybe the left had a point when they say some of us on the right are in a cult."

Yes. the left have a point.
We're in an evil cult that are terrorizing the country. We shouldn't have a voice and should be locked up or executed for the greater good.

Yeah.. the left have a point that you seem to agree with.

Oops. Putin must have got confused and thought there were Chechen terrorists in that theater.

Well, that is...interesting:

Information allegedly came from Mariupol locals ( reminder - they are mostly ethnic Russian) that
neo-Nazi from Azov gathered Mariupol women, children & elderly into the building of Mariupol drama theatre and are going to blow it up, blaming the victims on “Russian shelling”
10:12 PM · Mar 12, 2022·Twitter

March 12. But maybe it’s Russian disinfo. I’m starting to think there was a reason the building was targeted unrelated to the bomb shelter.

Maybe they’ll hold out for a few more billion from us before they throw in the towel.

Was it a smart move for Zelensky to give the order to arm civilians? Are they still civilians after they've been deputized?

Especially “truth” from a bunch of arm chair warriors thousands of miles from the actual fighting!

This was written three days before the explosion.

There was also a person from Azov who surrendered a few hours ago and reported about the theater.

As for Azov’s behavior : Mariupol is occupied DNR, Azov sees it as a hostile territory and has no problem with killing civilians... they were doing this for eight years.

If it were up to me Putin and his Generals and the Western fools and Zelenski who choreographed all this would get the high jump.

But trying to understand something doesn’t mean agreeing with it. It was guaranteed that Russia would never let the Ukraine fall too far out of it’s zone of influence. Russia will never allow its interests in the Black Sea, it’s only European warm water access, to be threatened. The Western Deep State thought it could corner Russia by enlisting the Ukraine to block Russia’s access. How foolish can one get? I predicted that Russia would go nuclear if necessary to protect it access.

Is this fair? No. Is it just? No. But it is reality. Zelensky is a fool. Another thug who jails his opponents and shuts down rival newspapers. The Ukraine is as dominated by Oligarchs as Russia. Why is Zelensky better than Putin? Eff ‘em all. It’s the people at the bottom, the one’s who work the jobs and raise the families and make the society work, who end up paying in blood while the Zelenskis and Putins and Kerrys and Bidens rake in the millions. Eff ‘em all.

What Z did with that was arm all the gangs in Kiev. There were never any assassins in Kiev, just the gangs going after each other with Z’s rifles . LOL - never let a good crisis go to waste

asked, "What about the US bio weapons labs ?"

BIOLABS IN UKRAINE ALSO CONFIRMED BY HOMELAND SECURITY Under the $85m five year modification contract, Black & Veatch will provide support for the implementation of the agency’s Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) with the Ukrainian Government.

NATO isn't going to intervene militarily, and neither is the U.S., so even if it is just propaganda, it won't make a tangible difference.

But for a Russian army that wants to pressure the Ukrainian government, and doesn't want to engage in urban combat in Kyiv...killing civilians is one way to perhaps make that happen.

Now, maybe that's what happened here and maybe it isn't. I was just addressing the argument that killing civilians cannot serve Russian interests.

Yeah yeah. What we are really seeing is Moscow under attack by Ukrainian neo Nazi stormtroopers, aka cossacks.
