As Kremlin stooges ramp up nuclear threats
At least 25 civilians have been killed and another 50 wounded after Russian missiles hit a convoy in Ukraine Cars were heading from Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia into Russian-occupied territory at the time Images showed two lines of bombed-out vehicles with dead bodies lying on the road and blood on the floor Comes as Putin prepares to annex Zaporizhzhia and three other Ukrainian regions to Russia to 'protect' them
A Russian airstrike has destroyed a humanitarian convoy in southern Ukraine leaving dozens of civilians dead and wounded, Ukrainian officials said today.
Images show how a single rocket landed close to a queue of cars waiting at a checkpoint as they drove out of the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia into nearby Russian-occupied territory in the early hours of Friday, shredding the vehicles with shrapnel.
At least 25 people were killed in the strike and another 50 wounded, the prosecutor's office said. Oleksandr Starukh, the Zaporizhzhia regional governor, said all of the victims were civilians who were driving into Russian-occupied territory to distribute aid and to try and get their relatives out.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, one of Zelensky's senior advisers, said Russia had fired a total of 16 S-300 anti-aircraft missiles at Ukrainian territory, four of which landed - destroying the queue of cars along with a nearby car market.
The attack took place just hours before a speech by Vladimir Putin in which he will announce Zaporizhzhia - along with Donetsk, Luhansk and Kherson regions - are being annexed to Russia under the guise of protecting them.
And it came as Putin's propagandists used their state TV platforms to insist that Russia's nuclear arsenal is in full working order, after the despot threatened to use them to defend the 'new territories'.

Wrong country for that. If you wanted to root out the Islamic terrorsts in their safe zones, the target country was Pakistan, not Afghanistan.
How quickly people forget the way Z and the Ukes screwed Trump with a contrived controversy. All to protect the war mongering globalist golden goose.
Pointing out the rampant corruption and Democrat cronyism present in Ukraine doesn’t make one a fan of Putin.
Deep State stooges are everywhere and apparently live here as evidenced by rabid Ukraine support.
The Convoy had large signs marked “Children”. I highly doubt Russia needed to do this, they are winning after all. According to other reports not tainted by western Psy ops, the Ukrainians did it themselves. There are all kinds of outrage and investigations into this war crime going on as it is beyond the pail. It seems just another false flag by Zelinsky, just as the bombing of the theater in Marioupol, the bombing of the the Russian prisoner of war camp holding captured Ukrainians, the shooting in the legs and executing of Russian soldiers on social media, the farce that was the Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island debauchle, the massacre in the city of Dobra, the bombing of Zaporizshia NPP....no, from the track record of Ukraine and increasing unrest and desertion among it’s ranks, Ukraine is the more likely culprit.
Again, for what purpose would Russia have for doing this when they are winning. If people think the Kharkov offensive by the Ukrainians was a turning point for them, they have been successfully misled. Look where they are now. Lookat a myriad of sources and you will see they went nowhere and in fact the front line has been fortified and pushed ahead towards the Ukrainian forces.
The biggest false flag of all, which Ukraine didn’t even have the smarts to pull off and had to just sit back and watch, was the recent destruction of the NordStream pipelines through US machinations, I think most likely from mk 48 ADCAP torpedoes shot from a fast attack Submarine or mk 50’s launched from a surface ship or air dropped. For Russia to false flag itself like this is suicide for them, they aren’t that stupid or desperate.
To the root of it, maybe, but al-Qaeda was based in Afghanistan.
Yea...that is how I see it, also.
Interesting.
When you look at what Putin has destroyed most, you see his motive has been to either kill, or cause to leave, as many Ukraine civilians as he can. He can’t defeat Ukraine on military terms so he is trying to defeat the civilains of Ukriane until not enough are left to defend.
$50 billion thrown away on Ukraine that is about $150 for every man, woman, and child in this country.
Not arguing that point is your point that US election was bs so it’s okay for Putin? With the way the media doj fbi irs nsa …. and demonrat party is going I am sure our elections will soon resemble the “elections” there but that is not the point As I said tell me the difference between these referendums and say if Nazi Germany did referendums in occupied countries. I assume these sham elections were to allow Putin to legally send conscripts into the cauldron not that seemed to stop him before
Agree seems like a fair take. I read once that Russia needs 80-100$ a barrel for oil to meet their domestic spending. The reports of Russian economy doing well seems like pure propaganda like chines gdp. Of course reported by Chinese. Pretty sure Russian govt is subsidizing domestic economy to keep numbers down otherwise they would have a full blown revolt. People don’t fall out of windows, boats, and down stairs when things are going fine. Clock is ticking and not sure how long Russia can keep that up. When that happens things will get interesting
Where was Bin Laden (allegedly) killed in his headquarters?
In Pakistan… 10 years later. Videos in late 2001 showed him in Kandahar. I agree Pakistan deserves a beatdown for a number of reasons, but until bin Laden escaped Tora Bora, he was in Afghanistan.
