Russia summons the American ambassador over a deadly attack that Moscow says used US-made missiles
ABC News ^ | June 24, 2024 | The Associated Press

The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the American ambassador on Monday to protest what it says was the use of U.S.-made advanced missiles in a Ukrainian attack on Russian-annexed Crimea that reportedly killed four people and wounded more than 150.

Washington “has effectively become a party” to the war on Ukraine’s side, the ministry said in a statement, adding, “Retaliatory measures will certainly follow.” It did not elaborate.

Kyiv’s forces have relied heavily on Western-supplied weaponry since Russia’s invasion more than three years ago.

Maybe the Russians should leave Ukrainian territory and go home?

If Russia doesn’t want its troops targeted by Ukraine, it can remove them from Ukraine.

Most likely telling the Neocons to not launch anymore of their big drones, unless they want them downed.

Golly, neocon Americans just love killing people! Look in the mirror, YOU are the baddie in the drama. Giving cluster bombs to a regime that drops it on a beach of innocent people is evil. The political class that does it, the military that programs the missile, and the cheerleaders on the side - evil.

A Dutch military analyst and professor in their war college said, “The United States is acting as if Putin knows he’s lying about how he sees Ukraine. But we have to listen to what Putin says and realize he may very well see reality that way.” (That Ukraine is and always was part of Russia. That the war was started by the CIA, etc.)

Nielsen also pointed out that the red line of not using American weapons inside Russia was established by America, not Russia. The Russians adopted it. He also thinks we are losing the propaganda war. Largely because the US has the first amendment and there does not appear to be an allied effort to spread propaganda that is anything like Moscow’s efforts. His is a very good channel. Whatever your views, he provides what appears to be unbiased facts even when they don’t swing Ukraine’s way.

The Biden administration has made no effort to sell the reason we are in Ukraine to the American people. That’s probably good as Biden is the worst speaker from any government with the possible exception of Bagdad Bob. If Biden delegated the sale, it would probably be to a black, trans-woman, Hispanic.

Biden is doing it, because he knows the Bushy Republicans love war, and will vote for him over Trump.

The U.S. complained to Russia when Houthis used Russian made missiles to shoot at U.S. warships in Indian Ocean. Russia said that after they sell a weapon system, they take no responsibility for how the end user uses it.

If you get my drift.

Russia is deliberately endangering U.S. lives in the Indian Ocean and disrupting economically vital sea lanes. Two can play at that game, Ivan.

As far as I’m concerned, Washington, DC, consists of an occupying force that has infiltrated this country and enslaved the American people. If Russia wants to retaliate against Washington DC, then just give the American people 24 hrs to clear the area, and then have at it.

The Russians were attacked in territory that the U.S. formally recognizes as Ukraine, and which Russia agreed was Ukraine in 1991. There is a long tradition of not rewarding aggression. Russian have no business being in Crimea.

And what of all the Ukrainian civilians who have been killed and wounded by Russian missiles?

Hitler thought the Sudetenland was Germany.

And Turkey thinks Cyprus is a part of Turkey, yet we still allow them in NATO.

Exactly. It’s a defensive war by Ukraine and the Russians should get out.

Brilliant Putin, placing families in a war zone that he created.
