Quit acting like a neocon clown.

It was a chilling shooting: Russian soldiers caught on camera killing unarmed Ukrainian civilians as they walked away from an encounter on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv.
CNN first reported on the shooting in May, after obtaining exclusive surveillance video of what is being investigated as a war crime, a shooting targeting civilians.
Now, Ukrainian prosecutors say they have informed Russia that their pre-trial investigation has zeroed in one of the Russian perpetrators they believe is responsible. The Bucha Prosecutors' Office in the Kyiv region says CNN's exclusive reporting was instrumental in helping identify the Russian soldier.
Prosecutors say the suspect is Nikolay Sergeevich Sokovikov, adding that Russia was informed of his charges of "violation of the laws and customs of war" and "intentional murder."
CNN has requested comment from Russia's defense ministry but has not had a response. CNN also asked the Russian MOD for response to our original report in May and never received a reply.

The Ukes just spent 8 years shelling civilians for the crime of opting out of the 2014 coup. Nobody cares.
Quit acting like a neocon clown.
That calls for more American tax payer money sent to homo-erotic dancer and failed comedian Zelensky /S

The Ukrainian troops selected to carry out this operation clearly had advanced training. Some sources report that the British did the training and MI-6 had the lead in planning the operation. The CIA’s role appears to have been providing support on the information warfare front (i.e., getting Ignatius to tee up an article). Ukrainian sources are privately bitching that someone leaked the op to the Russians. It was an elaborate ambush. These are troops Ukraine could not afford to lose. There was a substantial investment in time and money to train them for this mission. I estimate at least two months were devoted to the training and equipping of these two attack elements.
This was not the brain child of the Ukrainians. This has the fingerprints of western intelligence all over it. That is why there were so many western reporters on hand. If Ukraine had succeeded, the operation would have dominated western news coverage. “Ukraine’s stunning victory.” Success would have bought Zelensky and Ukraine more time.
But this was a failure and it is likely to have some rather nasty side effects. The Ukrainians have lost some, if not all, faith in the competence and promises of the British and the American intelligence offices. I am pretty sure the Ukrainians were promised that this would be a swift victory and would catch the Russians with their pants down.
Just consider how things would look if Ukraine had pulled this off. With Ukrainian forces in control of the ZNP plant complex, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection team would arrive and would have certified that Russia was shelling the place. In fact, with the IAEA present, it would have been crazy for Russia to try to take the facility back. Note that the IAEA team came prepared to leave some of its members behind. I would not be surprised to learn that the head of the IAEA team was briefed on the upcoming operation and was prepared to play the role assigned to him. Whoops. Russian killed those plans along with almost 100 Ukrainian troops involved in the operation.
One Telegram channel offers a dire assessment of the Ukrainian Kherson offensive:
The second wave of Ukrainian offense on Kherson ends in a predictable disaster, 2000 or more KIA, and between 5 and 6 thousands wounded. The hospitals in all the nearby large cities nearby are full. Yet, Ukrainians cling to the bridgehead near Davydov Brod, that can indicate their intent to try for the third time.
Russian intelligence uncovered the plan of Ukrainian spec op on Zaporozhye nuclear plant to capture it shortly before the IAEA mission would arrive. Some 300 elite Ukrainian elite special forces operatives lured into a trap and destroyed.
Apart from creating tensions between Ukraine and its western allies, this failure also is likely to exacerbate strife within the Ukrainian leadership. There are reports that the Ukrainian military leader, General Zaluzhny, was at odds with President Zelensky over the timing and scale of Ukraine’s “offensive”. This is not only a loss of face for Zelensky, it is likely a loss of support from key members of the Ukrainian government.
Hmph. So, CNN reports on ANYTHING and >one village idiot believes it? And, possibly the most corrupt politico in the world, Zelynskyy, claims something and the same idiot swallows that? Let’s not forget, Zel told US congress reps to shut up about asking questions on how US $$ are being spent.
Note, these “civilians” were leaving the scene of an encounter — whatever the ‘Ell that means. An attack, perhaps, by non-uniformed folks? If they had on armbands they are militia/mercenary — valid targets even if shot in the back. If not, this is the same type of crappola routinely used by the Palestinian terrorists.
How clever. The Russians have figured out how to fire weapons fron a CNN report. What next? Firing from a NYT article?
Invading Russian soldiers are animals.
It’s been months since Russia left the Kyiv region, but local police are still finding dead bodies. This unknown man was shot dead with a sack put on his head and with hands tied behind his back. They buried him in a pit near Zdvizhivka, that’s some 15 km from Bucha.
All Ukrainians civilians in occupied Bucha were required by the Russians to wear white armbands.
Reuters reported that civilians in Bucha were told by the Russian forces to use white armbands to identify themselves.

“Invading Russian soldiers are animals.”
Uh, ah. Orcs, animals. Dehumanization has another side to it. You are going to cry like a little girl then.
Azov has been shooting ukes for the entire war and then some. Russians would set up corridors for people to leave areas and Ukrainian military wouldn’t let them leave, often shooting their own. We should talk about this.
Yes lets. War started with Putin's little green men in Crimea, Donbas and then an outright invasion. There would be NO SHOOOTING in Ukraine without Putin's intervention.
Please, Russians have already dehumanized Ukrainians, From calls to de-nazification to now outright calls to de-Ukrainize Ukraine.
Russian mercenary plays with Ukrainian soldier's skull, 'will make into goblet'
In his speech, Mangushev said that Russia is at war with the Ukrainian idea, so all Ukrainians must be killed

What of the above is dehumanization? You aren’t very smart, aren’t you?
Minus the raping and killing prior.
