Putin's inhumanity in Ukraine emerges as calls for 'self-purification' of 'traitors' as mass graves are dug
Fox News ^ | March 17, 2022 | Peter Aitken

The assault on Mariupol has revealed the full extent of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s determination to take Ukraine as he claims that his country will undergo a natural and necessary "self-purification" of "traitors."

"The Russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and simply spit them out like a fly that accidentally flew into their mouths," Putin said Wednesday. "I am convinced that such a natural and necessary self-purification of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, cohesion and readiness to respond to any challenges."

Putin compared the West to Nazi Germany and accused Russians who opposed the war of having a "slave-like" mentality, The New York Times reported. He labeled the conflict "a struggle for our sovereignty, for the future of our country and our children."

But a fresh crackdown on anti-war sentiment – including a criminal case against a popular lifestyle blogger – pales in comparison to the horrors in Mariupol, where the Russian military has appeared to overcome any hesitation about pulling its punches.

Russia on Thursday bombed a theater in which thousands had taken refuge, even though satellite footage shows that the word for "children" in Russian was written on the ground near the theater, according to Ukrainian officials in the city. Ukraine's foreign affairs minister, Dmytro Kuleba, called the attack "another horrendous war crime in Mariupol."

The bodies of children piled up in a narrow trench hastily dug into the ground in the city. Mass graves now litter the outskirts, with citizens working fast in order to bury the dead and minimize the risk of danger to themselves.

"The only thing (I want) is for this to be finished," raged worker Volodymyr Bykovskyi, pulling crinkling, black body bags from a truck. "Damn them all, those people who started

I guess Fox still hasn’t found anyone to fill those ‘mass graves’, or they’re refusing to show it.

By the way, the mass graves are being dug by the Ukrainians and are needed, as they’re trying to maximize civilian deaths in order to use the media to their advantage.

And by the way, in the first picture, they were incredibly fortunate to have just have a High Speed Camera, active at the just the right time, and aimed dead center to the side of the building where the ‘Russian missile’ hit. One of those 1 in a million odds, I guess!!!

So, how many still believe the bombing of the Mariupol theater never happened, Ukraine did it to themselves, or Russia is not going to scorched earth tactics?

Another Spielberg production! Not quite as good as the slick, Hollywood production of Zelensky the clown show on Zoom in front of congress, though.

Russia is winning on the ground, but taking a beating in the media/propaganda field — at least in the U.S. & Europe. I think that’s alright with the Ruskies, though. They have given up on trying to win over any of the west. Russia, China, India, Brazil, and a few middle east and African countries will begin to rise now.

We’ve had a good 80-year run and it was sure good while it lasted (except for the last few years).

Let’s just hope the neocons don’t decide to force the Ruskies to launch a few of the big ones over our way. Never underestimate the stupidity of the DC crowd. Whatever they are hiding in Ukraine is not worth WWIII.

They sure as hell are trying to get us killed. I damn wish they would stop it.
They will run to their bunkers and leave us to get wiped out.
The NWO sucks and nobody wants it but the satanic world leaders. All of this isn’t worth it.

You think

Witches approve ..lol....1000s descend on Moscow

What’s unusual is every lie they promote no matter how crazy and easily refutable

They continue full speed ahead

Our media and tech overlords

A far large threat than Pootie

Are feeling their oats

But they are a pure laughing stock living in a bubble

Ukrainians in Mariupol had held off Putin's separatists just east of the city for eight long years.

Putin will now indiscriminately crush Mariupol.

A televised Putin speech is anti Russian propaganda?

“There is no way this is a “Spielberg product”

I guess you believe in the tooth fairy, too.

How about:
-let’s flatten the curve and lockdown the country for just two weeks
-major WMD in Iraq — got to invade now
-take the vaccine and you will never get sick
-no biolabs in Ukraine
-there was no election fraud
-Russia stole the election
-Jan 6 was a coup
-covid is going to kill you

Just a few recent media/government truths.

I’m sure that Zelensky knew all about MLK, and how he fought and earned freedom — just like Ukraine needs to do. Zelensky is a clown and a puppet.

Be sure and look under your pillow in the morning :-).

Hope the Azov boys don’t find out the President of their country is Jewish. That would be awkward.

After telling everyone else they are posting propaganda, I see you have finally joined in with your own.
