Remember, this is not just Putin's war, it's russia's war.

There are many, many pro-EU voices in Scotland, in Brighton, in London - if Italian troops suddenly marched in and put them on the news it wouldn't in any way justify an invasion. Same thing here.

O.

'Britannia' was once part of the Roman Empire, after all.

Three hospitals hit this morning. If I was still a religious man I'd be praying for an asteroid to hit Moscow, but since I no longer am, a nuke will do.

Spud is usually quiet. No doubt absorbing all the russian propaganda. It was definitely a russian cruise missile.

Presume you mean unusually?

Presume you mean unusually?

Yes.👍

[ad_orientem]

Just in case anyone's wondering.👇

[Spud]

I agree, but I don't think the hospital was targeted deliberately. The other targets hit were military facilities. 1.2 km to the north.

Yes, and I don't think you are naive.

So are you saying that russian cruise missiles only have and accuracy of around 1,2km? Kinzhals are actually quite accurate. Somebody programmed the coordinates knowing it was going to hit a childrens hospital.

And he obviously has no idea what he's talking about. There are no signs of any damage on the missile. And we know it's definitely a kh-101. The telltale sign is the jet exhaust on the underside at the back end of the missile.

It seems one of the pilots who launched the missiles committed suicide. Rest in piss!

I agree with that, assuming the photo hasn't been manipulated. But there are still questions, if you don't mind? I think a doctor and a child were killed by that particular missile. Would Russia deliberately use an expensive missile for that purpose? Would they not want to hit the main building where more patients would be?

If it was deliberate, I would also point out that it may have been a revenge attack following the recent Sevastopol incident.

Just saying, we don't know either way, at this point.

Well of course, they didn't have to launch the missile at all or start the war.

Is Orban the man to bring peace? I have my doubts but at some point there has to be some form of peace.

Here is a screenshot from a video that shows three kh 101s hitting the Artyom plant. It looks different - shorter and wider, and wings clearly visible.
The other missile has small stabilisers in the middle, rather than wings. And it seems more slender. But apparently the damage to the surrounding buildings suggests a more powerful warhead than a SAM carries.

Ultimately, that's for Ukrainians to decide though. Meanwhile, all russia has to do is leave and that is still all we should be concentrating on. No land for peace. All Orban wants is Transcarpathia, not peace.

The 'other' missile is reviewed at a different orientation.

"Chief of Staff of the Azov Regiment Krotevich says: "No peace without victory. There is only one victory – not a single Russian soldier on Ukrainian territory. We will not leave this war to our descendants, and you won't either because if you try, it will be bad. For you and for them. If this is a test, don't even think about it. I wrote this calmly."

Azov based as always!

[Spud]

Azov based as always!

What do you mean?

[ad_orientem]

What do you mean?

Based. As in well founded. In this case, no land for peace.
