Ukraine’s Kyiv area hit by Iranian-made kamikaze drones
The Washington Times ^ | October 13, 2022

Posted on 10/13/2022 3:50:20 AM PDT by McGruff

Ukraine’s capital region was struck by Iranian-made kamikaze drones early Thursday, officials said, sending rescue workers rushing to the scene as residents awoke to air raid sirens for the fourth consecutive morning following Russia’s major assault across the country earlier this week.

Kyiv regional governor Oleksiy Kuleba said the strike occurred in the area around the capital. It wasn’t yet clear if there were any casualties.

Deputy head of the presidential office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure facilities” in the area were hit, without offering any details on which ones.

"You mess with America and America messes with you.
We run the world and have since 1945, and it is our job to discipline anyone who gets out of line.
Like school children many of the nations resent such discipline, but the smart ones know that it is good for them."

It's totalitarian, arrogant attitude like that that it caused America to be in Forever War since 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell.

Collaborators should be brought to justice...

My post was for the first in the list, TR. I did not think you would make TR's post.

Timber Rattler: “Collaborators tend to get what’s coming to them. Go watch Red Dawn.” [Photo of a firing squad execution here]

DDFD: “Are you accusing FR posters who dispute your narrative ‘collaborators’ who deserve punishment? How far are you willing to go?”

{{{Timber Rattler posted a picture to Travis McGee of >>Nazi collaborators being executed.<< }}}

I cc’d Jim Robinson, but Timber Rattler’s insane “execute Nazi collaborators” death threat was soon gone:

“Comment #41 Removed by Moderator”

I’m still not aware of Congress declaring war on Russia, yet, so I’m a bit unsure about the “let’s execute collaborators” bit.

Isn’t you map out of date? You need Finland and Sweden joining NATO in 2022.

I thought about flagging TR’s “Collaborators” post for abuse but wasn’t sure he really meant that posters deserved punishment appropriate for “traitors” and what that would be. Biden seems to have inspired some fools with his speech about MAGA “extremists.” Funny how tricky it is to know what is dangerous or harmful. Maybe Elon musk will have to face that question if he buys twitter.

It’s rather humorous to see you address the expansion of
NATO. Evidently you think NATO sends its people out daily
to distribute door hangers to various nations, imploring
them to join.

It just couldn’t be that these people have never trusted
Russia after the fall of the USSR. They weren’t able to
notice that the leaders of the USSR transitioned with the
government to Russia. New name, same ruthless people...

They weren’t able to notice that the leader of the brutal
KGB had become president. They weren’t able to notice that
Russia’s elections best resemble our 2020 election, but
theirs have since the 1920s. Putin has been there for
eighteen years, and there’s not a hint that he is going to
be replaced anytime soon, unless he goes toes up.

They just weren’t capable of thinking for themselves and
coming to the conclusion they would be safer if they had
an organization behind them, that would help them if they
were besieged by Russia.

Then when they sent a formal request to join NATO, why it
was NATO’s fault. That evil NATO was behind it all. It
would have been far better for these nations to all align
with Russia.

As for the Ukraine it applied to join NATO in 2004. It was
turned down by this same organization you blame for everyone
else joining. In 2004, they said they would revisit the
decision on the Ukraine, but until earlier this year, I
don’t believe they did. That’s eighteen years. Boy that
NATO is sure desperate to add more nations huh.

The Ukraine applied at least once more this year, and
perhaps twice if what I read recently was true that implied
Levensky had tried again.

So far, that mean old organization that has plotted against
Russia for decades, hasn’t let the Ukraine join.

Now however, after Russia invading the Ukraine, the mean
old Finland and that other nation that never takes sides,
have finally decided they have no choice but to join NATO
themselves.

Damn that NATO. Poor Finland and Sweden. Boy have they
been hoodwinked.

The last I heard, the Ukraine had not invaded Russia.
We did not invade Russia. Our troops are not fighting in
the Ukraine. Russia invaded a sovereign nation and is
killing its people and trying to annex more land, land which
is rich with oil and natural gas deposits. It’s a landfall
of value to Russia, because it’s trying to steal it.

Now because Russia the aggressor nation can’t win using
its troops in a ground war, it has decided to attack
infrastructure and people even though it has no business
at all being in the Ukraine.

If Russia had been attacked, and it was trying to push
back invading troops and killing civilians as it did, I
would be defending Russia actions. I would not be damning
them and cursing them for not surrendering Russia.

Sincere, respectful reply, one long-time freeper to another.

I know you truly, sincerely, believe what you write. As do I.

Many gullible, good-hearted, loving, trusting, gullible dupes (like I used to be, an old Cold Warrior), feel the same way you feel now.

Please look at this, again, then reply to me.

Were the 200,000 DEAD IRAQI CIVILIANS just "collateral damage" to you?

"THEY WERE WORTH IT, MCGEE, IT WAS WAR!"

Were our bombs somehow, "Holy Bombs," because Americans were convinced that 1. Saddam was also behind 9-11 (total lie) and 2. Iraq had WMDs (also a total lie, to stampede us into war.)

I'm not just posting some insulting reflexive reply to you.

Do you really not care about the 200,000 dead Iraqis, or the tens of thousands of dead and maimed American soldiers, ALL KILLED OVER LIES?

"BUT THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! THIS TIME THEY ARE TELLING US THE TRUTH! I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT!!!"

(DO you EVER feel a twinge, that you are being played for a good-hearted, gullible fool? Saying that as a former good-hearted, gullible fool.)

I agree, but I’m still a bit surprised that Free Republic tolerates “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO COLLABORATORS!” pictures, with firing squad photos, and all that happens is the single post is deleted.

I guess direct death threats are okay on Free Republic. At least, the freepers are allowed to keep on, just the direct death threat is deleted. (#41, with the firing squad photo, directed personally to me.)

And I’m still a bit unsure about being called a “collaborator” for not wanting to march to a global thermonuclear war. I keep asking for a link to Congress declaring war against Russia, but so far, no replies.

JUST DEATH THREATS, TO ME. WITH EXECUTION PHOTOS. ON FREE REPUBLIC.

FWI, respectfully: all above is screen-captured, in case of somebody trying to murder me as a “Nazi collaborator”, as was directly threatened at #41, now deleted by a mod, complete with an execution photo, also now deleted.

I take death threats very seriously, even if you don’t.

Do you allow him to continue posting on Free Republic, to make death threats to other freepers, with photos of executions to make his point very clear?

Seems like there will be a liability if anybody shows up at my house with a gun.

Because threatening to nuke a country for repelling an invasion isn’t inflammatory or provocative but threatening you is?

“Because threatening to nuke a country for repelling an invasion isn’t inflammatory or provocative but threatening you is?”

Where or when did I threaten to nuke a country? I don’t have any nukes. Not even one.

But making a personal death threat against me, with an execution photo to make it very clear, I take that very seriously.

Is Timber Rattler is still a posting freeper in good standing, after making a direct death threat against me, with a death threat execution photo also directed to me?

The post was over the top but I don’t see it as a serious threat to anyone. Perhaps Timber rattler should chime in.
