Well, yes. However...

Only if there’s a W Heath Robinson / Rube Goldberg contraption that could’ve been used without an assistant. It’d still be evident.

But if one isn’t there, lone suicide is impossible. It’s either assisted suicide or murder.

It’s Occam’s Razor. If you need a whole bunch of wildly implausible and complicated hypotheticals for your hypothesis to stand up, and there’s a vastly more plausible scenario that doesn’t require ten dimensional chess, the simplest explanations are usually the best.

Multiple explosions in different areas at the same bade over 100km from the battlefield... Targeted enemy fire or collusion.

“It was an accident” is patent bollocks.

So naturally that’s what Russia led on.

True enough about the apparatus having to be there.

HARMs (anti-radar missiles) have been delivered to Ukraine. Watch the fun to come.

Those of us who follow the Ukraine War threads regularly know that you are alway posting and commenting on stories and ways that try to make Putin and Russia look good. How can you be favoring this mass of hospital, school, and apartment home wreckers and refer to those who support the invaded as people who should not be allowed to remain on FR. Why don’t you go home with your Russian masters yourself, unless you are already there.

Just heard the BBC World News report on this explosion. They say that if it is a Ukraine strike it shows a much greater deadly firing distance than was believed. Ukraine says it was their shot, and Zelensky is determined to reclaim the stolen Crimea before the war is over. Can’t wait to see positive confirmation for Ukraine bombing, and retaking of the nearby city Kerson (sp?).

Lovely series of photos, the wonders of modern mobil phones. There were also some good shots on the BBC World News story, and it appears a lot of people may ha They’ve had their beach resort experience seriously disrupted. The guy shown here does not look very happy, but at least he still has his beer, and are those shrimp in the other glass. Now I guess people in Crimea will have to worry as much as those at Odessa’s beaches.

Easy to do that when all of those people were in the pay of Russia or were active Russian agents. The Ukraine government is infested with KGB/FSG.GRU agents and sycophants.

\ That's ONLY because you are believe or repeating Biden regime and Ukrainian PROPAGANDA. You just don't see to get it -- this administration, along with WEF crowd, neocons and other globalists, like LIE THEY BREATH. They are part of "liberal world order", which Biden advisor Brian Deese says this proxy war is all about. Big money is involved.

My sources are NOT Russian but conservatives that see through all the propaganda -- Alex Christoforou, Alexander Mercouris, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Clayton and Natalia Morris, Jacob Dreizen, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and the guy that operates the Moon of Alabama.

You are literally defending the Biden regime and George Soros by defending our involvement in this war. You're either ignorant or doing so intentionally.

I am definitely doing this intentionally. My maternal grandparents came from East Prussia and Poznan in the late 1800s. I was cared for a lot by my Tante Lena, my grandmother’s sister as a child. Two of my grandmothers sisters were maiden ladies in their 70s when the Russians entered Berlin. THey both committed suicide as one sister was a gynecologist and knew how the Russians were treating women. During the Depression my mother, a teacher, and some sisters traveled to Germany several summers to visit family. My Aunt Helen (mom’s sister) married the owner of a furniture factory in 1932, she ended up stuck in Germany throughout WW2 and wasn’t able to get back to the US with my cousin until 1948.

My support for Ukraine against Russian invasion has nothing to do with Biden or Soros. It has everything to do with my knowledge of the evils of Russian dictatorships. I had joy and some hopes when the wall came down in Berlin. What a shame Yeltson was a drunk. What a shame Putin is a viscious SOB. What a shame you and others of your ilk are unable to see this or are required to see this and act on Putin’s behalf.

You sound like a bitter black liberal demanding reparations for slavery from a nation that slave owners no longer exist in.

Russia is NOT communist nation anymore. Russia is a freer country than Ukraine is.

Ukraine resemble a democracy or free country and is one of the most corrupt nations on earth. It's a nation that is epicenter of neo-Nazism in the world. The Ukrainian military has used civilians as human shields and targeting civilians with missiles and buttefly mines. It's not worth spending a penny of tax money on.

The new evil in the world is globalist "liberal word order" that Brian Deese, Biden's advisor, says this war is about. The reason it and the Biden regime care about Ukraine is because those involved have made oodles of money there working with corrupt oligarchs like the one that gave Hunter his phony job with Burisma.

HaHa, definitely a black liberal with Prussian, Polish, Welsh, and New England English grandparents. I forgot to mention other East Prussian relatives, mostly women and children, fleeing the Russians in sleds in winter crossing the frozen Baltic at great danger since others were killed when the ice broke. Demanding that a vicious invader go home is hardly demanding reparations. You sure have a screwed up sens of values, thinking like a Russian?
