There were no GPS guided bombs during WWII.

Historically, US strategy was to try and take out massive war machine related plants/centers, wherever they could be located if we could.

The endeavor was deadly and costly to crews, who would on average not last past a very limited number of flights — Meaning even far less less accuracy when getting to and over a target.

It was so dangerous, most would not come home.

As well, the enemy would fully utilize all forms of civilian infrastructure.

And to Hiroshima and Nagasaki —

US and Allied bombing of the heavily defended plants of the Japanese war machine, resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead. There is a wide range. But due in part to plants being crammed into population centers was absolutely deadly.

You know this, but estimates of how many Japanese alone would die in a Japanese invasion run anywhere between 5.5 to 12 Million more people.

The estimated combined number of those tragically killed instantly, or as a direct result in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has been placed by Japan at about 120,000 thousand.


I have served (multiple deployments, and dozens of missions) all over the Middle East, and across Africa, East Asia, and Latin America, and I/we have lost a lot of people trying not to hurt civilians, and often even getting between them and a sure death.

In my related job descriptions, I don’t even know Soldier, Marine, or operator who hasn’t been injured, or hasn’t lost friend’s who put themselves in harms way for civilians.

Unlike the myriad anti-American leftist Hollywood and academic gods have sought to portray and indoctrinate through schools, movies, and comedy, having also served within multiple Command C2’s, without reservation, while we absolutely will go after bad guys, our goals and SOP’s have always remained ZERO targeting of civilians.

I haven’t always agreed with it, but many times we will even seek to capture really bad folks, who have lived violently, and on occasion even killed, or been involved in killing Americans.

We still fight with a lot of rules, bu ut were very thankful when Trump allowed us to properly “react to contact” in a more reciprocal and decisive manner involving some of the worst. Even then, ZERO targeting of civilians, and everyone still running everything up the chain of command.

Immorality and leftism in all forms is pure evil and satanic. Leftist’s near chief satanicstrategy relies on carefully redacted context and truth. But this site is rapidly becoming a putrid and anti-American and leftist reverberating propaganda tool. And from what I am increasingly experiencing, offensive.

No matter how hard some on here may try, I will never turn my back on God and His word, I will never stop fighting for my family, I will never stop fighting for my country, and I will never stop fighting for our flag. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŽš

“Putin told you he would not accept NATO on his southern border”

No. Putin was always, always going to invade Ukraine since the Soviet flag flew over the Kremlin in Moscow for the last time on December 25, 1991.

Putin believe he is the ruler of the world. the SUPREME GLOBAL RULER. May God take him soon so Putin cab receive his just eternal reward.

“Russia has the capacity to destroy”

No. Putin has the capacity to destroy.

Ukraine has continued to honor the international commitments they signed and NOT attacked across the Russian border. Do not deceive yourself. The Russian public has not been and will not be galvanized behind Putin. The Russian public is fully aware of the ruthless, evil man Putin is and cannot protest or be severely punished.

“Worth a read, just saying....”

I found nothing new in this article. Just shows the continued evil of Putin as a terrorist bully

When you are stuck in your propaganda ridden bubble, makes sense you would find “nothing new”....

Here, have a smile, chuckle, or whatever.

“There is video of the site. No ukrainian equipment.
Russia indiscriminately attacks civilians in this war time and again.
But after all Russia is going to Russia.”

I would amend this to: Putin indiscriminately attacks civilians in this Russian special military operation invasion this war time and again.

The Russian people suffer from not knowing the truth. The intercepted phone calls, returning troops and mass exodus from Russia shows they are learning the truth.

β€œChoose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
-To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
-To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists
who control the fool.
-To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
-To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
-To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”

But after all Putin is going to be Putin.

“Figure of speech”

No problem. “Figure of speech” may be stretched enough to be considered a rhetorical devices: or language designed to motivate, persuade, or inform. But, that’s about it.

However, typically, on FR comments, a coment is made in a response to a previous comment. Otherwise, there is no discussion of posted article.

“Typically, on FR” we don’t incessantly spam thread after thread after thread with utter propaganda either.

That was typically reserved for the likes of DU or Drudge, but apparently, its the norm around here and has been since February....go figure.

"S-300 is an anti-aircraft weapon..."

There have been many reports with photos from Ukraine about S-300 strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure on the ground (mostly apartments, yards and streets).

S-300 missile system
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-300_missile_system

"The system can destroy ground targets at a range of 120 km (19,000 fragments or 36,000 according to various missiles). When launched against ballistic missiles, the range reaches up to 400 km.[9][72]...On 8 July, the governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast, Vitaly Kim, claimed that Russia has been using S-300 missiles in a land attack role by fitting them with GPS guidance and that some 12 missiles were fired this way.[100] On 30 September, The Wall Street Journal reported that 16 Russian S-300 missiles configured for ground attack struck near Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 30 civilians and wounding 50 others.[101][101]"

“spam thread after thread after thread with utter propaganda”.

Actually what is spam is the eye-of-the-beholder. All inconsiderate name-calling or labeling is just cringe worthy & wrong.

That's still BS and you know it. Russians are simply not going to WASTE AA missiles on land targets which they cannot even target with those missiles when they now have the Iranian bomb drones that are lethal, accurate,and dirt-cheap.

The ONLY people with anything resembling a reason to use AA missiles over hoho cities are the hohos. The BS YOU're attempting to spread is absolute sewage-grade BS.
