Doesn’t look like the same building to me.

I liked the part about russian troops so hungry they shot people who were in the front of food line so they could take their place . LOL - just more propaganda. no way to know what’s real when the propaganda is non-stop.

Russia’s idea of negotiation with a smaller country is to invade and bludgeon and then get them to sign some deal. An unnecessary suffering for a lot of people. Hopefully it ends soon.

“Nothing new for Russians, they destroyed a theater in Moscow nearly 20 years ago to ‘solve’ a terrorist/hostage situation, killed about 300 hostages.”

No, they didn’t destroy the theater. They gassed the people inside and killed them.

Shrug, same net goal, break the enemy’s will to fight.

Ultimately saved untold GIs (dad was at Okinawa) and millions of Japanese who had taken a sacred vow to fight with bamboo spears to the last man woman and child.

Yes, the top picture is the back or park side of the same theater.

Who fired the weapon? There are many reports of the Ukrainians firing on their own people. Including a tank running over an old man in his car. Claiming, “I lost control”

Nazis are panicking. Did they just lose their civilian cover?

And on the sides of the theater there are windows like the ones on your bottom picture. I have done a walk around the building on Google Earth and I found the same fencing in the park that is in one of the destroyed pictures.

I believe the Drama Theater has been destroyed.

Thank you. That totally proves that everything is on the level here and every part of whatever this story says is true. Because everything else that has come out has been so trustworthy.

Agree, no value to them in targeting actual civilians.

Sure there is.

Worth a shot to the Russians, right? Doesn't really cost anything but innocent Ukrainian lives, which hold no value to Putin or to Russia.

The Putin Puffers are just following script. None of their claims are real.

I was half right - the pictures are of the same building, just different sides.

This isn’t anything at all like that situation. It doesn’t even take 20 seconds comparing the two to come to the realization of how ridiculous it is to even think about doing so.

Ah, good work. The photo in the original article was much better for propaganda purposes. It was framed to make it look like nothing was left but a hole in the ground.

The next question is whether the bomb shelter under the building did its job. (I think the article said it would in the basement. Must have been the entire basement if it held 1,200 people.

I’d think that targeting civilians would have negative value. A waste of ammo and more grist for the neocon propaganda machine.

Not if your goal is to pressure the Ukrainian government to capitulate.
