Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital

[Bkk Brian]

Being provided to Ukraine by the UK, Starstreak missiles are seriously nasty & small anti-aircraft missile w/three dart warheads. Being laser beam riding, Russian flares are useless to decoy them. They are much faster than a Stinger & all the operator has to do is keep the crosshair on the aircraft.

 

Meanwhile Lada halts production of its cars due to sanctions and parts shortages......????

[ozimoron]

The United Nations nuclear watchdog says it has lost touch with the remote systems that monitor nuclear material at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the second plant in as many days.

"this is a fight for freedom and humanity or tyranny, take your choice"

You are completely right. This is a battle between good and evil. We know that Good always triumphs over Evil. So who won is the one who is good. That's why so many people are just waiting this battle to be finished - this will be the most convenient moment to choose the side of Good in this conflict.

Lavrov now spewing lies on air:  "We did not attack Ukraine"

 

now also playing the nonsense narrative of US funding the research of biological weapons in Ukrainian labs.

 

Troll in chief.

I note Kawaski, that you find the comments of the refugees in Syria cornered near the Turkish border amusing, the destruction of Syria civilians backed by Russia, the exploitation of Mali and several other countries in Africa for precious metals mostly gold, with it being enforced by Russian fighters, how can you be so flippant about the role of Russia in Africa and Syria? Is it because they are not white christians?

 

 

Why because the same has been done by western countries in the past but that's OK OK when it come to western media.

Shouldn't be necessary to tell the panel on this board, that if no invasion of Irak had happened, no Isis, no big war in Irak or Libya. Nobody have been crying about innocent civilians have been killed in Irak, Libyaa or Syria to mention a few, and what about the curds? Fighting for the allies, and what deleted happened? Left them behind, same as many have also been left behind in Afghanistan who helped the allies for years and saved many allies life's Shame shame shame! But, nobody care, and nobody understand that the cowardly and unsuccessfully withdrawal from Afghanistan, maybe was to last drop in favor of Putin's plan we see evolving now.

 

Just Google USA wars since 2. WW, how many they had their hands in indirectly and directly involved.

Full on whataboutary.

 

Let’s stop imagining what others opinions were at the time of past wars and get back to the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation under discussion.

 

The opinions of those taking part in this discussion are both on topic and a matter of easily accessed record.

Surprises me you think that is whataboutary, and at the same time do not understand Russians support Putin and believe he is doing the right thing for his country!

 

I remember the American protesters in USA being beaten up by their own police, arrested and even shot at with rubber bullets.

 

All they got served through tv was happy  Shias while the Sunnis hiding!

 

Later we saw the extreme Sunnis rising true Isis.

 

Chain of reaction and you can not deny it have led to the point we are today. You can single out this war as one incident, but do you really believe it yourself?

Refer the Opening Post for a clue to what the topic of discussion actually is.

Anyone else see the Lavrov press conference where right at the end he mentioned the "WAR" so far no journalist has picked up on this and should under Russian law get him 15 years when he gets back ????

Somebody refer to Russia's interven in the other crisis created by the west, and if not Russia helped out in Syria, we would have been fighting Isis much longer than necessary. 

 

Sometimes we need to open our mind a bit more, and understand our leaders have been doing war crimes on behalf of us, but when the Shepard leading the blind to waterholes, then you know the outcome!

Many countries has been involved directly or indirectly at various conflicts or wars.

Take your own country as example.

 

In 2008 Norway were the 4th largest exporter in the world of military equipment according to UN data base.

https://www.ssb.no/en/utenriksokonomi/artikler-og-publikasjoner/norwegian-weapons-exports-nearly-doubled-since-2005

 

Even tiny little Denmark where i live exported equipment used in war.

 

Not many of us can say we live in a country that has not been involved in the various conflicts/wars across the globe.

Earlier in the thread you thought i was anti democratic.

Living in Thailand for nearly 20 years it is not the same as my home country or as the US or the EU.

So i would like to know while Kamala Harris is standing in Poland making a speech about how united every is while the country next door is getting flattenedwhich democracy does that belong to.

Nearly all is a stab in the dark 

Two thirds of Indian military hardware is supplied by Russia 

[ozimoron]

The United States on Wednesday denied renewed Russian accusations that Washington was operating biowarfare labs in Ukraine, calling the claims "laughable" and suggesting Moscow may be laying the groundwork to use a chemical or biological weapon.

 

Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday embraced calls for an international war crimes investigation of Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, citing the “atrocities” of bombing civilians, including a maternity hospital.
