Russian Government Murders At Least 10 Shoppers

wounds 40 with missile strike on huge shopping centre in Kremenchuk, central Ukraine

According to the military it was an X-22 (Ukraine designation) missile fired from Tu-22 M3 bombers which took off from Shaylovka airfield in Kirov and released the weapon over Kursk

This is an actual government - member if the UNSC - committing an act of terrorism in full view of the world.
Apparently without shame.
I’m struggling to think of a precedent - before this “special military operation” began

And to boot: a big cyber attack by killnet (Kremlin hackers) on Lithuania today

Would officially designating russia a terrorist state have any practical use?

The inside of your head must be a strange place indeed!

[Spicerack]

Well, admittedly it wouldn't be as roomy as your's, dave.

no apostrophe in "yours" (just saying)

[Spicerack]

Ta.

Gradually we smoke out the wheat from the chaff :-)
And I’m not talking about the burning of grain.
Better out than in tho …

Has anyone heard of Irish far left MEP Clare Daly?
She’s not worth the bother but if you did want to see pure bitterness in one individual then it would be …

[Spicerack]

Give us a clue about Ms Daly's sins.

I saw Leo Varadkar? being interviewed yesterday. He said, 'Young people in Ireland work hard but they can't afford a house. So they turn to populist parties and then they won't have a job, ha ha ha'.
Nasty ***.

I make a point of not getting involved in controversial discussions on AB but in this instance I just have to say that I think Spice is talking a lot of bo**o*ks. I would give the benefit of doubt and say misguided but maybe just stupid thinking and a deliberate unwillingness to understand very clear facts.

The pilots of the Tu-22 bombers have been named: four airmen from the 52nd Guards Aviation Regiment, who belong to military unit 33310 (Kaluga Region, Shaikovka settlement).

"Dinar", Denis Gabitov, Dmitry Golenkov and, my favourite: Evgeny Potseluyev (his last name means "kisses"!)

What's the world coming to when you can't bomb a few shoppers anonymously. What happened to "what happens in the plane stays in the plane"??

[Spicerack]

This narrative has fallen apart quicker than I expected.
Google Maps say the shopping centre has been shut for 4 years.
Don't worry about apologising Lady J. It's easy to get fooled.

[Spicerack]

Can't you send the Ghost of Kiev after them, ichi. Lol.

gogglr maps shows my labrador on the lawn ( er not in Kramatorsk) - yeah the one that died two dogs ago

[ichkeria]

Kremenchuk Peter not Kramatorsk.

Kramatorsk is where they bombed the railway station with a missile that send “in revenge for the children”. That’s also gone into conspiracy theory mythology because of that, but there are russians who genuinely believe Ukrainians eat babies ;-) They kind of have an excuse for thinking that in some cases given the relentless propaganda .
I don’t know if you saw the - I think France 24 - film crew with residents of Lysychansk who refused to be “deported” by a Ukrainian civilian rescue mission and were convinced it was Ukraine shelling their town. That was rather dumb really because a Russian or a Ukrainian shell will get you one way or another.
Not sure if they just left them.

[ichkeria]

I agree with Andriy Pyatov the veteran Shakhtar and Ukraine keeper who observed that the russians are worse than terrorists, who at least usually admit to or claim their atrocities

From the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg:
“Moscow’s version of events in Kremenchuk will be derided outside Russia, but promoted in the state media here. Russian MOD claims the shopping mall fire was the result of “the detonation of stored ammunition for Western weapons” in nearby arms depot & that the mall was not in use”

That’ll be news to the locals then ;-)

[Spicerack]

You have no shame, do you.
Were Google Maps collaborating with Russia, as well.
Sometimes you just have to give it up.
If you were taken in just admit it. Maybe if you ask the ABed or a Mod nicely they'll remove this thread and spare your blushes.
Save AB spreading misinformation too.

[lady-janine]

I have NOT apologised and do not intend to do so.

[Spicerack]

Alright. Although it's never happened to me, I know it's very hard to admit when you're wrong.
It's not your fault you've been made a fool of.....again. x

[ichkeria]

Have to admire your nerve:
You spout complete trash as janine points out and then blame everyone else ;-)

Moving on, it seems the Kremlin dint really care whether anyone believed them or not

[ichkeria]

Why in the name of goodness I am wasting my time with this but no matter

Now of course tragically out of date …

You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

[Spicerack]

^Lol. Are you honestly that gullible?
When they were made aware that they had accidentally exposed the fraud being perpetrated they, to the amusement of everyone, changed the status to open.
However, they a) Never thought to add any new reviews which, of course, stopped in March when the centre stopped trading.
b) Like you, forgot about Screenshots.

[ichkeria]

Unbelievable.

FWIW your screenshot has one more review, which is odd given it allegedly predates mine. Trading pictures from googlemaps though is irrelevant when it comes to the actual reality.

Your motives for peddling kremlin propaganda are your business however. You went off the radar for a while after Feb 24, so presumably you did have a little shame.
