Funny, it's new Ukrainian minister of defense who has proclaimed "This [Russia] is a nation, along with its leadership, that has no right to exist."[0], but it's Russia who is in the "fascist form"
>Like, are you going to personally volunteer to take revenge for your Wildberries orders being more expensive and arriving late?
It's odd that you don't consider revenge for workers who were murdered by Ukrainian drones. And people who lived through "democratic 90s" don't care about Wildberries orders being late.
People are volunteering in many ways. For example, by donating money to buy stuff for soldiers when military procurement fails them.
>logistics officers facing a shrinking budget and rising prices, who might ration supplies to the front in response.
Of course not. Civilian warehouses, especially in Siberia, have nothing to do with supplying the front.
> US analysts investigating possible Russian link to attacks on CIA facilities
> Russia has provided targeting and other technical support to Iran during the war
How dare they do to us what we do to them!
"But after a C.I.A. expert identified the refineries’ Achilles’ heel — a coupler that, if destroyed, would keep a refinery offline for weeks — the drone campaign would take off. According to one U.S. intelligence estimate, the energy strikes would cost the Russian economy as much as $75 million a day.
The C.I.A. would eventually assist with Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian “shadow fleet” vessels in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean."[0]
>whether or not something is a war crime depends on the state of mind of the decision makers
The state of mind of Ukrainian decision-makers is there: "a psychological effect on Russian society and, likely, on continued support for the war". It somewhat puzzles me why they want to create widespread public support in Russia for escalation.
I wonder where is traditional "deliberately targeting the civilian population"?
Oh, right, it's when Ukrainian civilians die.
When Russian civilians die, BBC only quotes multiple justifications from Zelensky and some Ukrainian official:
"The primary rationale for striking Wildberries' warehouses is to disrupt Russian logistics and the supply of dual-use goods, critical electronics, sanctioned goods and the like to the Russian army and Russian arms manufacturers," he said.
"The collateral damage from such strikes could also have a serious impact on the Russian economy, as well as a psychological effect on Russian society and, likely, on continued support for the war."
"a psychological effect on Russian society and, likely, on continued support for the war" - isn't it a definition of terrorism? Chechen terrorists once captured a maternity ward with the same goal.
>Great, you've managed to dig up a negative review
Google shows it at the top of first page and it's a review chosen and published by National Space Society, not just some rando's opinion.
Your reviews are on Amazon from ordinary people that after 5 years of relentless russophobic propaganda in the West are eager to consume more. Of course they like a book that mocks long dead people that beat the US in the early space race despite the USSR being in ruins after WW2 and loss of 26 million people.
One review among "Top reviews" even prizes it specifically for being entertaining and hilarious. Right, let's mock Soviets for their poor electronics instead of being in awe of what they have achieved with what they had.
Compare that, for example, with a book by David Scott and Alexey Leonov[0] telling parallel stories of Moon programs that has better rating and almost no 3-star reviews. If you read "Top reviews", they are all excellent.
Never heard of it before. Who exactly calls it "one of the best" besides you?
Here is a review from the National Space Society:
"As the title suggests, the book is extremely negative in tone and hostile to the entire Soviet space effort, from top to bottom. The book portrays the Soviets as bumblers and fools, veering from catastrophe to disaster. Soviet space successes (including the first manned spaceflight, the first flight of a female Cosmonaut, and other missions) are treated as lucky breaks or close calls, and nothing more. While some may find this fun or amusing, it has little basis in reality. The Soviet space program was a monumental undertaking that, like the U.S. space program, demanded the service of the nation’s top engineers, manufacturers, pilots, etc. Many books, including Colin Burgess’s outstanding Soviets in Space, James Harford’s Korolev, William Burrough’s This New Ocean, and other works all portray the Soviet effort in a much more realistic manner and demonstrate what a massive and serious effort it was. Even Bryan Burrough’s Dragonfly, which is highly critical of the Russians and details more than a few life-threatening misadventures aboard the Mir Space Station, does not portray the Russians as clods the way that Strausbaugh does. ...
The problem is that one could just as easily write a similar book, with a similar tone, about the U.S. space program. The loss of the Mercury capsule during Gus Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 flight, the Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three U.S. astronauts, Gene Cernan and Dick Gordon’s deeply troubled spacewalks on Gemini 9A and Gemini 11, respectively, as well as the Challenger and Columbia disasters could be described in the same manner and it would be just as unfair and disingenuous."
>Another complete lie, constantly perpetuated by Z-patriot zombies. And if you actually read the source you linked to, you would see that most of the antagonists of the clashes on this day were russians.
You are not making sense. The article debunks what you are saying:
"Rumors and conspiracy theories
Nationality of the victims
... Later reports showed that none of the identified victims was from Russia or Transnistria. Out of the 48 people killed, 46 were from Odesa or Odesa region, one from Mykolaiv Oblast and one from Vinnytsia."[0]
>Here, I have something for you.
The thing is that you are receiving medals from the Kiev regime for staying far from the front line and Ukrainian men are forcibly taken to the front line to die.
Among my Ukrainian acquaintances and their acquaintances two were grabbed on the street, one of them was dead in a month and another one was taken just recently.
People like you who support Kiev regime and its Western puppeteers are the reason that man is dead.
It's Odessa, the city founded by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great in 1794 on the land taken by the Russian Army from the Ottoman Empire.[0]
The only thing Odessa is known for under the Ukrainian rule is burning 42 pro-Russian Ukrainian citizens[1] by Ukrainian nationalists. After that a Ukrainian president, billionaire Poroshenko, praised the city for being truly banderite[2] city. Yes, that is considered a praise by the Kiev regime.
"The European Court of Human Rights Court held, unanimously, that there had been: violations of Article 2 (right to life/investigation) of the European Convention on Human Rights, on account of the relevant authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events" [3]
>Because Odesa is Ukraine forever.
It's not for a Polish expat to decide. The Kiev regime is not hunting you when you walk the streets of Odessa.[4] They won't grab you and send to the frontline. When men are desperately calling bystanders for help, you walk by, look away and keep supporting the regime that does that.
Here is one of the top Ukrainian propagandists posting in his personal channel a video from Belgorod (Russia) that shows wounded Russian women screaming and thrashing in agony (the text reads "Happy New Year, bitches") after Ukrainian MLRS strike at the city: https://t.me/dmytrogordon_official/39688
Here is the Ukraine targeting the same high-rise apartment building in Kazan with multiple drones: https://t.me/readovkanews/91042
>fighting evil in this world is highly commendable
So that would mean fighting against Ukrainian regime.
Watch the thousands of videos where men are grabbed on the streets of Ukrainian cities to be thrown into meatgrinder after two weeks of training[0]. Hearing the terror and desperation in their screams "People, help me, I want to live" is heartbreaking.
