- Russia says US is responsible for strike on Crimea.
- Ukraine struck Crimea with U.S.-supplied ATACMS.
- Russia says U.S. personnel input flight coordinates.
- Russia says at least three people killed, 124 injured.
MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more. The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air. The ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles' flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible. "Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out," the ministry said.

Remember two years ago when Zeepers and neocons claimed: “USA is not involved at all in intel, targeting or planning for Ukraine’s attacks?”
Even that bit of propaganda became too ridiculous for them to repeat.
If you are attacking the fleet, you don’t use cluster munitions. The article said cluster bombs. Don’t know if it is confirmed or if it was fragments.
But either way, it’s US forces, shooting at Russians, in a base that they have had longer than America has had Ohio.
God help us get through the next 6 months.
You probably don’t have grandchildren...
Biden has Sh*t for bra*ns... that’s not bad breath from Joe. He is stinking up the entire world, and his supporters are the gatekeepers for the old Facist.
I believe since Catherine sent Potemkin in there... so yes.. as old as the USA... Can those cluster munitions be MIRVed?
Think about this when they cry about collateral damage in Israel.
“stinky mess for all.”
That’s if we’re lucky. If we’re not lucky we’ll be taking iodine praying our hair don’t fall out in clumps.
This is the first presidency during which I’ve gone out and bought iodine tablets... that’s a significant fact in itself...
“why is the US attacking the Russian fleet”
Because they think it benefits them.
“and doing it in ways that can be detected?”
They want it detected.
Russia won’t be responsible when a carrier group is target with hypersonic missiles and limps back into port. This is what is going to happen. The US is going to run into some Somila pirates who might be carrying a suitcase nuke.
The United States has changed since 2008 into something that the World despises today. Brics is growing. The main reason is these countries want stability and peace, something the Democrats give no one. The Democrats have created a world with all the same domestic nasty politics as Chicago - and the world isn’t buying.
It is sad that our military has become just another DNC Agency of the Federal Government.
This Nation as it now operates is irredeemable and on the way to the ash heap of history.
AmeriKa has become another failed Marxist Communist State.
“They want it detected” is the same as to say “they want war”... as things now stand I can’t disagree.
Tlozo, don’t you feel bad that the CIA has led the Ukraine into this disaster? All of the dead can be laid at the feet of the MIC, the CIA and the State Department components of the deal state.
No your words, Russians have killed…. Not Putin….
“are AMERICANS ready?”
I’m not. No good reason for any of this.
But the guy that lives on the rural road I just drove down to get home does. First time I’ve seen a Biden Harris sign. Maybe ever. He’s probably maneuvering for a block captain appointment. Then on to camp commandant. Those guys get to have their way with the inmates, anything goes.
Hard to come to terms with the fact that this is who my neighbor is. Bet the Germans wondered where all the Nazis suddenly came from too.
“No your words, Russians have killed…. Not Putin….”
Correct, it was Russian troops, to be exact. But we do understand why you guys use the likely poll-tested term for these troops: “Putin”
Well at least you admit Russia has killed hundreds of thousands in Ukraine. Its a start
Yup, Putin who launched an invasion into Ukraine is not responsible. Okay
Lemme see…where have we heard this line of blame before. Oh… I know…Gun controllers!
Victims of Highland Park Shooting Sue Gun Maker and Retailers
Lawsuits filed Tuesday in Lake County, Ill., argue that Smith & Wesson, the manufacturer of the rifle used in the Fourth of July attack, “deceptively and unfairly” marketed its weapons.
” The July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park wasn’t just an act of one troubled young man. He used a gun that was deceptively and unfairly marketed to him by Smith & Wesson, illegally sold to him by Bud’s Gun Shop and Red Dot Arms, and negligently put in his hands by his father.”
You left out the part about targeting done by US satellites.
“Well at least you admit Russia has killed hundreds of thousands in Ukraine.”
Hell, even Putin admits it. Unlike the Neocons who claim they had NOTHING AT ALL to do with essentially FORCING Russia to invade Ukraine.
