..and bombed themselves when they moved out, after painting "children" on the courtyard outside. They did the same on the missile they fired at Kramatorsk station.

@Gorbyrev And how do you know Medicins Sans Frontieres were not being used by anti-Russian propagandists? Both they and the Red Cross are suspected of being vehicles for CIA infiltration and propaganda. Russia gains nothing from incidents such as these.

@Gorbyrev Not all by any means, but atrocity propaganda is widespread in war. I would certainly say that most accusations are fabricated, especially those involving children and people in hospitals. The Ukrainian Azov Battalion and other extreme anti-Russian elements in the Ukrainian army already have an appalling record, at least equal to that of the Russians. Under stress, especially if fuelled by alcohol and/or drugs, most troops are capable of unspeakable acts, but cold-blooded bombings of civilian targets of no strategic importance is more rare, other than for propaganda purposes when the other side can be blamed. They are more often accidental, as was the case with the RAF bombing a hospital in Kosovo during that conflict.

@Gorbyrev And the dead Ukrainian civilians, until five weeks ago, were all killed by Ukrainians. And you can't ignore history. The creation of Ukraine as a country in 1991 was a disaster for Crimea and Donbass. Both areas have a strong preference for ridding themselves of government from Kiev. That Russia should wish to aid them in doing so is only natural. That it should come to war on this scale was totally avoidable and it is Zelensky's conceit and stupidity and utter willingness to allow his country to be used as a pawn by the US deep state which has caused it to happen.

@Gorbyrev Russian support is equivalent to what the Americans would call "military advisors". I make no comment on the Malaysian airliner incident. America and Britain, of course, have been utilising their special forces to train the Ukrainians.

@Gorbyrev Crimea was "taken" with hardly a shot being fired. Half the Ukrainian army went over to the Russians within hours. Crimea IS Russian. Around 68% are of Russian descent and less than 16% are Ukrainians.

@Gorbyrev Not with you. Sorry.
