    It's total dictatorship, forcing the public to fund state sanctioned war mongering. That is what BBC does 24/7, calls to arm Ukraine to the hilt is a declaration of war on behalf of its taxpayers. We are handcuffed!

    Putin's regime forces the Russians to support his war mongering, but you're a total hypocrite.

    Ukraine forces SHOOT DOWN Russian attack helicopter with UK rocket launcher


    Попал! What an absolute nightmare this must be for Russian pilots, given the small size of the weapon, its man-portability, and its range. There is just no way they can see this coming.

    All over the fake news, you mean. All you ever post are Russian lies and absurdities.

    Sucker born every day. Tell us what manpad has a missile with a 30 second flight time? At a slow 500 m/s, that would be over 9 miles away, well beyond the range of ANY manpad made. And no smoke trailing? Seems like a controlled landing.....and faked video.

    And if that is a UK manpad, it's likely 1250 m/s. So you're telling me a rocket flew 23 miles when it has a 6 mile range? :roflol:

    From your link:

    The ministry’s report admits the chief reason why so many women wind up being prosecuted is because they are more likely to open the door to inspectors.

    What? You have people knocking on your door to see if you've paid?? That's outrageous.

    I read the blurbs, articles of interest and read what people say here then I decide for myself what is credible and what is just politics from either side. I am opposed to hard left and am losing faith with the right because they don't define themselves. I know what I think Biden gets wrong but the GOP isn't outlining what they will do if given another chance.

    If you knew anything about Russia, you would know how furious the Russian people are over the atrocities committed by Ukraine's criminal regime - as well as with the West for supplying them with arms. If Putin didn't protect the Russians there, he wouldn't be in office very long.

    I specialize in lies
    for I'm super wise
    and I know that by doing so.

    I can easily confuse you
    with some kind of ruse,
    so you'll think that you're in the know.


    And when thus deceived
    by what you've received
    from me through my immoral state.

    And your passions run high
    from me and my lies
    and I filled you with malice and hate.

    Then I'll know that I've won
    and my harm has begun
    and what happens is bound to astound.

    For all chaos will start
    as the world falls apart
    and crumbles with few to be found.

    - Jeannette

    Ukrainian military wipe out Russian saboteur group near Zaporizhzhya
    Tue, June 28, 2022 at 8:46 AM

    Referencing intelligence data, the report notes that the enemy saboteur group consisted mainly of convicts released by the invaders from prisons and drafted into the army in order to compensate for the losses of soldiers it has incurred in Ukraine.

    “They are sending everyone they can to fight, without thinking ...” noted the head of the regional military administration.

    “During the clash, six invaders were eliminated, and one was taken prisoner. He turned out to be a former convict for serious crimes, who was serving his sentence in a correctional institution in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk Oblast.

    ... https://news.yahoo.com/ukrainian-military-wipe-russian-saboteur-134600854.html

    Sadly, I'm not surprised. It's what I would expect from the world's #2 army.

    Updates from key battlefields: Witnesses at destroyed mall describe scenes of ‘horror’ and ‘hell’

    Zelensky shows video of the moment a missile struck Ukrainian mall

    Video shows moment of Russian missile impact in Kremenchuk
    1:07


    Ukraine released CCTV footage that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said shows a Russian missile strike on a shopping mall on June 27. (Video: Volodymyr Zelensky)
    Day after day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has denounced Russian attacks on his country as war crimes. Anyone who doubts it, he has said, need only look at the evidence, so much of it captured on video.

    On Tuesday, Zelensky screened some himself.

    During his nightly address, which is regularly viewed more than a million times across social media platforms, Zelensky focused on the Russian strike at a shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk. At least 18 were killed in the attack. Moscow has denied that its military targeted the mall and described it as “nonfunctioning” — a claim rebutted by firsthand witnesses who spoke to The Washington Post.

    Taking aim at “Russian propagandists who lie about this terror,” Zelensky vowed they would be punished and said Ukrainian authorities are collecting evidence against them.

    “Today, I want to end this address with one such piece of evidence, so that no one dares to deceive about the missile strike at the shopping mall in Kremenchuk,” Zelensky said. “They wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city, in a regular shopping mall. Here is what happened in Kremenchuk.”

    He rolled the tape, which appeared to be captured by a nearby security camera. It showed, in chilling slow motion, a rocket colliding with a building and exploding, sending up a conflagration and a dark plume of smoke.

    BF one last point I stumbled upon was about the invasion barges. The large majority of them were requisitioned river barges that were commandeered for the invasion, not purpose built vessels with sea going capability. The point was though that those barges and their crews played a key role in the industrial economy of Germany transporting goods and raw materials to the heartland of German industry. This meant their requisition for the invasion soon started to cause logistics bottlenecks at home that were only getting worse as time went on. So assuming the invasion actually went ahead?

    Wouldn't it be simpler just to show the crater? Why yes it would.

    Why bother? You can see exactly where it hit on video and Russia is neither a credible source nor has offered a credible counterclaim to what is clearly visible in the video evidence.

    Russian account of Ukraine mall strike 'absurd', residents say

    ...

    The Russian army claimed Tuesday it had hit a nearby weapons depot with the explosion sparking the blaze at the shopping centre, which according to Moscow was "not operational" at the time.

    But several Kremenchuk residents interviewed by AFP said they had not heard of arms being stored in the area.

    "We heard that, it's absurd," said Polina Pushintseva.

    Funny that none of the debris that is clearly flying out from the explosion made it into the parking lot.

    You are grasping at straws in defense of a war crime.

    Actually he's making a common sense point. If the building didn't catch on fire, the damage would likely be minimal. Best I can tell, it hit behind this so-called mall. But there will be a big ass crater, no doubt, so let's see it and we'll know exactly where it hit.

    Meanwhile you fellas could shift your outrage to the multiple rocket attacks on civilian targets....in the city of Donetsk...made with US weapons. Or would that not fit the narrative? Plenty of video out there for you to ponder.

    According to Earl Grey, there were no casualties in the Kremenchuk Mall because there are no records of any stores functioning in it for 4 months. Also, the photo of people standing outside of the building didn't show any women or children - only men and most were in uniforms.

    An aerial photo showed a large warehouse or industrial complex next to the mall, which
    according to the Russian Defense Ministry housed the foreign arms shipments meant to supply the Ukrainian army in the Donbas. This is what was hit by Russia's precision missiles, and it was the explosion from the arms that set the mall on fire.

    I guess after losing all their newly arrived ammunition, the only thing Zalensky felt he had left was his propaganda and lies.

    Hee, hee, hee!

    You'll know it's me when there's no peace
    From all my lies which never cease.
    For this is my own special work.
    And something I shall never shirk.


    And should the truth once more be told.
    it works through those in my control.
    For it's my will and what I deem,
    wherever hatred reigns supreme.
