There it is

Pentagon/CIA has an active training program to help Ukraine to stop Russia from advancing. It involves placing military, far right nationalists in civilian locations. This playbook has been confirmed as way not to put NATO boots on the ground. It is disgusting. Also great Tv ratings and wonderful propaganda against Russia.

ukraine government, if they really care about their people, just recognize Donbass, and Ukraine independence. Then Russia will retreat, and I don’t have to play double for bread in Japan.

While other women & children are being killed, Putin’s long-time lover and the mother of 4 of his recent children, former Olympian Gold-medalist Alina Kabaeva, is believed to be hiding out with the 4 youngest of his children in a luxury estate in Switzerland, surrounded by a cadre of Putin’s chosen security. -

One of Putin’s own daughters, his eldest, Mariya Putina Faassen is a pediatric endocrinologist in Russia. Medical professionals across the world are pleading with her Mariya to speak to Putin and speak out against his actions.

To do so, would indeed, cause WWIII. Nobody in their right mind wants WWIII.

Do you truly believe Putin will stop at Ukraine? Especially now that he has sized up NATO as all talk no walk?

They did it in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Syria.

...but in Syria Turkey's lone (ie no help from NATO) no fly zone stopped Putin's murderous bomb anything campaign.

Last month they installed a puppet in Kazakhstan.

let’s not forget the muppets, I mean puppets in Belarus

The aim is to bomb and kill the Ukrainians into submission and surrender.

that’s the Russian military’s standard go-to tactics.

They did it in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Syria.

It’s against the Geneva Convention to use hospitals as military facilities.

Once again the Russians didn't do it', it's 'western media making Russia look bad' defense comes out, just like it did while Russians were bombing hospitals, weddings and schools in Syria and blaming it on the 'other guys'. The 'others guys did it' defense is one used by thugs everywhere, how about the Russian mafia, or are they the same as Putin's other thugs, maybe his football gangs. Is the 'other guys did it' defense what Russian thugs use after they get caught commiting a crime. But an 'honest Russian leader' has never been a term I've ever heard. Nor have I heard anyone say 'a Russian with integrity'.

Sickening and outrageous - but the fascist Russians have shown no hesitation in targeting hospitals, schools and apartment buildings. The aim is to bomb and kill the Ukrainians into submission and surrender.

They will never succeed. Madman Putin has severely underestimated the will of the Ukrainian people in fighting to defend THEIR land and their childrens freedom. Indepedent Ukraine is here to stay, as are the Ukrainian people. They will never give up their homeland.

And on cue the Putin apologists are here to tell us that Russian planes dropping Russian bombs on a children's hospital is the fault of everybody except Russia.

Because of course nothing Russia ever does is ever Russia's fault.

Russia under Putin's thumb is guilty of serious war crimes, at home and abroad. Russian intervened in Georgia a few years ago, installing a puppet. In 2016 thru cyberhacking they installed a puppet in office of POTUS. Trump supporters are really Putin supporters. Last month they installed a puppet in Kazakhstan.

Putin is trying to be a post-Communist 21st century czar.

NATO will do not anything, nor has any obligation to do anything, because the Ukraine is not part of NATO.

To do so, would indeed, cause WWIII. Nobody in their right mind wants WWIII.

That last paragraph made me literally start crying.

I want to assume those defending Putin do NOT have families,

And you know what...

It is assumed that Putin hides his 30 years younger girlfriend (or probably she is his wife already) and their children in Switzerland.

They enjoy a very safe and nice life in Switzerland, during this mass-murderer Putin and his insane mob are killing innocent children.

I want to assume those defending Putin do NOT have families, for fear their lineage would continue and carry this carnage on for future generations. Stop this madness, remove Putin and his fellow insane, criminal fascists from power.

Maternity Hospital victims slaughtered needlessly and then thrown in a ditch like trash.

War is hell. That's why we try to avoid it.

Joe Biden's sanction was powerful enough to stop those missiles?

I don’t believe they deliberately targeted the hospital, they simply don’t have the skills, training to do that. Sure they can fire at an urban area. What they hit is totally random. Both pilots and particularly artillery are not that well trained or supplied with equipment, communications that advanced countries take as standard. It’s a huge group of armed young men who have absolutely no idea what they are doing and as a result we get collateral damage that’s not intentional but to be expected.

The Russian military has an obligation to protect civilians whenever they can.

And by their being in Ukraine illegally that is actually worse for everyone.

@Mr. Noidall

Your comments are utterly without merit.

Biden is sticking to his 'escargot' - stay in shell, lid shut strategy rather than escalate like Putin has been since day 1.

Meanwhile...back at the ranch....

The barbarism continues. Deliberately bombing a maternity hospital, unbelievable. Barbarians . . . animals.

The hate for Putin has a uniting effect if you are truly a US citizen. Go President Biden. You got Putin’s head in a Vice. Keep tightening until his head explodes.

In Syria, the extremists where advised by their handlers to put command centers in hospital basements, especially children’s hospitals and maternity wards.

this is Ukraine, not Syria. Can you confirm this is happening here? These people defending their country are not extremists.

It’s against the Geneva Convention to use hospitals as military facilities.

and Russia is invading illegally in the first place.

I've got fed up of the news publishing what is for all intents and purposes hearsay without evidence

& We are all fed up with the typical pathetic responses from Putin lovers -

It wasn’t the Russians, it was the Ukrainians bombing their own hospitals

10 ( +18 / -8 )

It was an air strike, not artillery and the Ukrainians don’t bomb their own civilians. It’s just part of the random attack plan on civilians expect worse as the Russians don’t care.

Mariupol, where efforts to evacuate residents and deliver badly needed food, water and medicine failed Tuesday because of what the Ukrainians said were continued Russian attacks.

I expwct soon the anti-NATO, pro--Putin online army members to come along with their 'fake news, western media are biased' and the 'Ukrainians created the problem just to make Russia look bad' similar to how they defended the Russians bombing hospitals and killing children in Syria. Followed by a series of what-abouts.

What else and what more must happen before the NATO will jump in and finish this madness?
