Russia Hits Kyiv, Lviv With at Least 1 Dead; Presses Offensive in Ruins of Mariupol
Newsmax ^ | April 16, 2022

Posted on 04/16/2022 10:14:18 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Russia's warplanes bombed Lviv and its missiles struck Kyiv and Kharkiv on Saturday, as Moscow followed through on a threat to launch more long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities after its Black Sea Fleet's flagship was sunk.

In besieged Mariupol, scene of the war's heaviest fighting and worst humanitarian catastrophe, Russian troops pressed recent advances, hoping to make up for their failure to capture Kyiv by seizing their first big prize of the war.

Moscow said its planes had struck a tank repair factory in the capital, where an explosion was heard and smoke seen in the southeastern Darnytskyi district. Kyiv's mayor said at least one person had died and medics were fighting to save others.

Replacing Biden with Trump will also achieve peace. Crookedly won elections not only have consequences; they may start WWIII.

Why are the Russians launching their dead at Kyiv and Lviv? Have they run out of missiles and arty shells?

No. I don’t really think Putin cares who is president. Because the math remains the same. What America can do about this is very little. Anything beyond sanctions and “selling” arms would escalate things and put us on that WWIII path. Trump could sound tougher and smarter while doing the exact same things, but he wouldn’t actually be able to do anything different.

You believe bombing and killing civilians is winning a war.

Did I say that? NO! Stop trying to put words in my mouth that I didn't say.

Says a lot about Russia and you.

What I post does say something about me, but only if not twisted by lying neocon weasels trying to put words in my mouth.

It doesn't say anything about Russia, I'm not in Russia, nor spokesman or employee of Russia.

Failed assertion.

Meanwhile, Ukraine stopped the Kiev armored assault and has sunk 2 Russian navy ships, including The Moscow, one of only 3 Russian supercruiser ships.

Future movie: “Sink the Moscow”

This is exactly the silly Ukraine cheerleading that I am making fun of in my post.

Wow, a war ship was sunk in a war! That's an amazing proof of victory.

It's amusing to me that some of the same people who so objected to the MSM coverage of:

these same people are none the less all in on echoing the very same propaganda outlets (CNN, Fox, AP, Reuters, Washington Post) in their coverage of the war.

Most specifically the preposterous proposition that Ukraine is "winning".

Like this ridiculous gem: " Russia might want to consider consolidating Crimea or they may lose it.

Ummm, NO. That's not really likely, is it.

What's likely is that in typical Russian fashion they slowly advance until their goals are met. When the war is over the polity returning with less territory than they began with will not be Russia. The polity with the destroyed military will not be Russia. The polity with no Navy will not be Russia (Ukraine's Navy? Oh, yeah, it's destroyed already).

These are simple facts, that any honest observer not invested in repeating Globalist propaganda would readily understand.

Failure to deal objectively with facts in war leads to much more suffering than would otherwise occur. The blood of the innocent Ukrainians (like the lady pictured) is also on the hands of those preposterously supporting the fatuous claim that Ukraine can somehow "win" this conflict, and therefore need not negotiate (and indeed, were acting intelligently in treating the Russians with contempt in the run up to the invasion).

I Agree, but to be fair, the Russians only catapulted ONE dead guy/gal, the rest must have been alive.

Agree, the author could have specified Catapult or Trebuchet.

I feel your pain for the Russian military being humiliated.

It must be tough, rooting for our Russian enemies, where what can go wrong, does go wrong.

Helluva plan Putin. What a genius.
