Scenes of Horror as Putin Hits Mall With ‘1,000 People’ Inside
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | June 27th, 2022 | Shannon Vavra

Posted on 06/27/2022 12:08:01 PM PDT by Mariner

Russia fired a series of rockets at a shopping center in Kremenchuk, Ukraine, on Monday, raising alarm bells that Russia is stepping up its attacks on civilian structures regardless of the loss of life.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday there were more than a thousand civilians inside the shopping mall and the casualties to come might bring even more shock and horror to Ukrainian people already confronting so much death and destruction as Russia has been waging war in Ukraine for 124 days.

“The number of victims is impossible to imagine,” Zelensky said on Telegram. “The mall is on fire, rescuers are fighting the fire.”

Not intentionally or as a matter of policy. Big difference.

You're kidding yourself.

Can’t trust the fake news. Does anyone remember that the Daily Beast was the one that published the Fake Trump material that included that Trump peed on Russian prostitutes? Yet people actually post their material here.

It’s funny how these lurid Deep State headlines turn to jokes in just a few hours. Every time. The warmongers buy into them every time. Truly the most gullible rubes in history.

If Ukraine “deserves” to be invaded and bombed, then so does the U.S.

Absolutely no difference.

You want us invaded? I bet you would cheer if Nazi Putin invaded the US.

Disgusting!

“What makes you think every school, hospital, and church, and shopping mall is a legitimate military target?”

I don’t.

I believe only those which house fighters or war material are legitimate targets.

I live in a blue state. The Bluest of Blue.

On my drive to and from work each day for the last seven years, I first had to go through the BLACK LIVES MATTER signs, THERE IS NO HATE IN THIS HOME signs, then the HILLARY signs, then the DEFUND THE POLICE signs, and finally, the RESIST signs.

Many of these yards had all five of these signs. Yes, my state is full of these moonbats. Full of them.

Then, within days of February 24th, 2022, I began to see the Blue and Yellow WE STAND WITH UKRAINE signs. One might think they were printed in advance. And being pushed by the same people domestically with those yard signs listed above. (In observing this, it brings to my mind Leftists in America who fervently advocated staying out of WWII when the Ribbontrop-Molotov Non-Aggression Pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union was signed, but reversed their stance on getting into the war overnight in 1942 when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa. The same people.)

THE VERY SAME PEOPLE.

Could be coincidence, but I don’t think it is.

Add to that, Ukraine’s involvement in our politics, the people agitating for western involvement in Ukraine (Soros, Trudeau, the entire Biden Administration and American Left), and I have no choice but to fervently oppose any involvement whatsoever in Ukraine.

The people agitating for Ukraine, both inside and outside of this country, are not friends of America. They do not support American values. They are agitating for the destruction of the Constitution and this country. I will not support those people or their “cause”.

No I am not. We develop precise weapons specifically to maximize effectiveness and minimize fratricide. There have been cases where we put our own on trial for war crimes, the famous Lt Calley and mai lai being the most notorious.

Before precision munitions, civilian losses were expected. Today, they are and should be the exception.

“Uh, no it really hasn’t, despite all the accusations from Putin’s cheerleading squad.”

Even a retard can search google and find pics of Ukrainian “soldiers” embedded in civilian areas with military equipment.

Probably even you.

They are defending their home turf. You expect defenders to only bed down in open terrain? Talk about retarded....

"There’s only one war criminal in that conflict his name is putin."

Free education upgrade:

The Situation in Ukraine

A real WAR between Russia and Ukraine would last 72 hours or less. The ONLY reason this operation is lasting any longer than that is that Russians are taking extreme care not to harm civilians or civilian infrastructure. That should be obvious.

NAZIS, of course, do not have any such scruples. A totally reasonable assumption is that any sort of evidence of wanton killing and destruction you may be seeing in news from Ukraine, is the work of the bandera-Nazis and not the work of the Russian military.

This is more like a rescue mission, since Russians still generally view typical Ukrainians as fellow Slavic Orthodox Christians.

"A rescue mission ?" you might ask...

As in,

And put an end to the gargantuan deep-state child trafficking and money laundering ops and other forms of extreme transnational gangsterism.

The thing that is really new and different about this operation is that, historically at least, nine ways out of ten when Christians have had to face off against barbarian hordes, the Christians have gotten wiped.

THIS TIME THE CHRISTIANS HAVE WON!!!!

In fact, not only won but won in spectacular fashion. Acting with no more than about 15% of its available forces, Russia has produced a candidate for greatest demonstration of maneuver warfare since Genghis Khan, and all of that with a force no larger than a third or so of the bandera-Nazi defenders while standard doctrine says they should need three times the size of the defending force...

There is no definition of patriotism that includes stooging or taking the side of Nazis against Christians. The potential for conservatives who have taken the side of the deep state and the banderaNazis in this business to end up looking and feeling stupid, is vast and I don't think they're going to have to wait very long for that.

And embedding on your home turf is not ‘using human shields’

“You do realize you’re on the same side as Biden, Soros, and the mainstream media, don’t you?”

Hilarious.

I suppose stupid people might believe that.

The soft targets we hit during the Second World War were hit as a matter of strategy; our intent was to burn cities to the ground.

Is it possible we've developed a collective conscience since then? Maybe.

We aren’t discussing WWII. It’s been more than 50 years since carpet bombing was a legitimate war fighting tactic. Precision munitions negate the need to devastate civilian population or whole cities, unless you are intentionally in the mindset of genghis khan. Those with that mindset are now called war criminals.

“I live in a blue state. The Bluest of Blue.”

Don’t feel too bad. I live in a red state. Among the reddest of the red. The Bible Belt.

Since this began I have heard some of the most ignorant, bloodthirsty comments in my life. I have yet to meet one single individual who has the slightest idea what “Minsk II” is and when I try to explain it to them their ears slam shut. It is the *nucleus* of the entire matter and they don’t know and they don’t want to know. They refuse to know.

Typically what these thoughtful individuals have to say is: “Trump would blast the hell out of them”. I presume they mumble this barbaric sentiment to each other in church. It is frightening, sad, and pathetic at the same time.

No difference between the US and Ukraine.

You said it, as stupid as it sounds.

Get back to us with a cogent argument instead of hysterical emotional outburst.
