"But, but, but...how dare you attack our illegal bridge!! "
I love Stephen King's quote. It's bang on.
Multiple Ukrainian cities hit by Russian missiles
Missiles hit the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv for the first time in months this morning as air raid sirens sounded in virtually every major city across the country amid a massive Russian barrage.
I disagree. A countries leader has every right to protect the countries interests domestically and abroad.
MOO
Has anybody noticed that one thing that started this is when ukraine blocked water going into Crimea (a Russian Territory effectivly) ?
Why would ukraine want to block the majority of another countries water needs when that country is mostly Russians? (roughly 65% Russian vs ~15% ukrainian)
"Ukraine cut off the fresh water supply to Crimea by damming a canal that had supplied 85% of the peninsula's needs before Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014."

Russia unleashed a lethal barrage of strikes against multiple Ukrainian cities Monday, smashing civilian targets including downtown Kyiv where at least six people were killed amid burnt-out cars and shattered buildings. The onslaught brought back into focus the grim reality of war after months of easing tensions in the capital.
Ukraine’s Emergency Service said a total of at least 11 people were killed and 64 were wounded in the morning attacks across Ukraine — the biggest and broadest since the early days of the war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose military invaded neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 24, said the strikes were in retaliation for what he called Kyiv’s “terrorist” actions — a reference to Ukraine’s attempts to repel Moscow’s invasion forces, including an attack last weekend on a key bridge, prized by the Kremlin, between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula.
[...]
Putin, speaking in a video call with members of Russia’s Security Council, said the Russian military launched “precision weapons” from the air, sea and ground to target key energy and military command facilities.
But the sustained barrage on major cities hit residential areas and critical infrastructure facilities alike, portending a major surge in the war amid a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive in recent weeks.
The missile strikes marked the biggest and most widespread Russian attacks in months. ...
[...]
The targets were civilian areas and energy facilities in 10 cities, Zelenskyy said in a video address. “(The Russians) chose such a time and such targets on purpose to inflict the most damage,” Zelenskyy said.
The morning strikes sent Kyiv residents back into bomb shelters for the first time in months. The city’s subway system stopped train services and made the stations available once more as places for refuge.
While air raid sirens have continued throughout the war in Ukraine’s major cities across the country, in Kyiv and other areas where there have been months of calm many Ukrainians had begun to ignore their warnings and go about their normal business.
That changed on Monday morning. The attacks arrived in Kyiv at the start of the morning rush hour, when commuter traffic was beginning to pick up. ...
[...]
Elsewhere, Russia targeted civilian areas and energy infrastructure as air raid sirens sounded in every region of Ukraine, except Russia-annexed Crimea, for four straight hours.
The Ukraine Emergency Service said the strikes left four of the country’s regions — the Lviv, the Poltava, the Sumy and the Ternopil region — completely without power, while in the rest of Ukraine power outages were patchy.
[...]
Kharkiv was hit three times, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. The strikes knocked out the electricity and water supply. Energy infrastructure was also hit in Lviv, regional Gov. Maksym Kozytskyi said.
Three cruise missiles launched against Ukraine from Russian ships in the Black Sea crossed Moldova’s airspace, the country’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nicu Popescu complained.
[...]
The attacks brought out a fresh bout of international condemnation for Russia.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s spokesman, Steffen Hebestreit, said the Group of Seven industrial powers will hold a videoconference Tuesday on the situation which Zelenskyy will address. Germany currently chairs the G-7.
The attacks brought a chorus of outrage in Europe. French President Emanuel Macron expressed “extreme concern.” British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly tweeted that “Russia’s firing of missiles into civilian areas of Ukraine is unacceptable.”
[...]
In an ominous move, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced Monday that he and Putin have agreed to deploy a joint “regional grouping of troops” amid the escalation of fighting in Ukraine. He offered no details as to where the grouping will be deployed, when and what for.
Lukashenko repeated his claims that Ukraine is plotting an attack on Belarus, sparking fears the stage is being set for preemptive action by Minsk.

Shock and horror after Russia's wave of strikes across Ukraine
Russia's latest attacks have left shell-shocked residents and fiery debris, says Paul Adams in Kyiv.
www.bbc.com
BBC News Kyiv, Ukraine rbbm.
The past few hours have seen wave after wave of explosions, not just here in Kyiv, but all across this vast country, from Lviv in the west to Kharkiv in the east and Odesa in the south.
For those of us who were here when Russia's full-scale invasion began in February, there's an element of déjà vu. We've been told to spend as much time as we can in the basement, as further attacks, using missiles and drones, are expected.
But this is also different. The explosions here in Kyiv are much closer to the centre. Not distant thumps from the suburbs, but loud reverberations close to streets and locations we've come to know well in the past eight months.
It's difficult to tell what is being targeted, but a statement from Ukraine's ministry of culture said museums and the Philharmonic building had been hit.''
''Symbolic targets? It's hard, this early, to discern the logic. But reports from elsewhere speak of a thermal power plant being hit in Lviv. President Volodymyr Zelensky says energy facilities are being hit all over the country.''

So @Niner do you think things like this are acceptable in a y way at all?Yes - thinking the same!! Calling it terrorism when he has been at it for the last 8 months...
Not just one article about it either: have 2 articles:

Ukrainian Soldiers – War Criminals, Torturing Russian Prisoners of War
PETER KOENIG—Western media fully ignore this fact when they repeat Biden’s accusation calling Mr. Putin a War Criminal and worse. The West, perhaps out of desperation, since the end is near, has become a dystopian, lie-infested world, beset by untruths, censoring free-speech, deleting the truth...

The 2 men are nothing alike.
I'll give ypu an easy question.
Which one had the first animal cruelty laws?
And some quotes:
"Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated
are confident they are acting on their own free will."
"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play"
"If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things."

I just want to know the truth on what is happening. No torture is no acceptable.
One question:
why should the US end up being the "care taker" of every other nation when they get into a bad spot?
Why can they not care for their own citizens?
We have our own massive problems to deal with and frankly shouldn't be 32 trillion in debt. we could easily help our own citizens first, then help others but it never seems to happen that way.
BBM
I can agree with that.
Nobody should be tortured for doing what they're told to do let alone what they themselves feel is correct.
This is why i read old books, the first edition of a book is always the most accurate. MOO
