- 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.

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.

Was discussing that with my wife this morning. Not to worry if nukes fall from N. Korea and Russia. We're in the SF Bay Area. Not just one nuke would hit us, there would be dozens hitting all around the SF Bay to destroy financial center, mint, ports, IT tech, military bases, shipyards, farming, pharma/medtech, aeronautics/rocketry, universities, auto production, etc. . Total wipeout of life, instant death. No place to hide, no hills would protect us. No radiation sickness to worry about here. You folks in flyover country will have to contend with the fallout.

Russians vacationing in Crimea, in a war zone. What could go wrong?

Easy answer, go home.

NATO will be completely responsible for the pushing right up to the Russian border for this war

NATO is only a threat the way a bulletproof vest is a threat to a gun. The existence of a free & democratic Ukraine is a threat to *Putin* because its example shows prosperity & liberty are possible, in contrast with his dictatorship.

Is Putin just waking up? We have been involved with and directly responsible for everything Ukraine has done in this war.

NK probably supplied a bunch of 155s but I doubt they used overhead and satellite resources and the full depth of IC intel UKR (the US) has used in targeting and firing US supplied weapons.

The US is effectively fighting the war with its intel, its equipment and weapons with UKR likely only the trigger finger that squeezes when the US tells it go.

Putin can stop the attacks by immediately withdrawing his troops from Ukraine and ending his silly and unnecessary war, and I say that knowing full well how corrupt Zelensky is.

You sound like a Democrat since you fully endorse their war policy. You probably want the neocon Bushes to come back also...

RE: Medvedev: We are probably lucky he isn’t in power yet. He has a tendency to show his teeth more than Putin... probably a pissing contest between them.

I think the implication is they captured intelligence to prove it this time... probably decrypting satellite data..

Or give lethal weapons to the Houthis in Yemen, which will be dropped on US warships. That would be commensurate but I suspect the Russian bear will go for something closer to the US mainland.

A detonation on the CIA, Pentagon or White House by illegal alien sleeper cells would be a fitting epitaph to the corrupt Puppet Biden regime.

And for those Stasi FBI Rat scumbags monitoring these forums, your building would just be collateral damage. /spit

The war is neither silly or unnecessary. It is dangerous though.

IF the accusation is true, the US is guilty of terrorist murder.

Medvedev would have been launching nukes already.

“Putin has killed hundreds of thousands in his invasion of Ukraine.”

That’s a complete non sequitur.

It has nothing to do with whether US personnel configured the weapons and targeting that killed civilians in a completely civilian area.

A wider war?

It’s what the Democrats want.

The Kiev bastards re choosing a beach filled with civilians

Funny, Russian Ministry of Defense first claimed it was their fault, that their botched interception of 1 ATACMS had made it deviate from its flight path, causing it to detonate over civilians. But they quickly deleted it.

I stated it was probably the result of a missile intercept very early in this thread... I sure didn’t get that from the UKR/USA side, they haven’t commented yet.

After what the democrats did with covid, nothing would surprise me.
And they don’t clamp down the country for nothing. It’s always to accomplish further deterioration of America to gain control. Stealing elections is also very important to the current regime.
