Quite A Big Fire To Wake Up To

Early film of this is impressive :-)

Russia hits civilians (25 dead in two missile attacks yesterday)
Ukraine hits strategic targets.
Who’s got the better idea?

Well there goes the clean air zone.

The Russians will continue to deny that they are targeting civilian areas. I just wish the stranglehold that Russia has on its media etc could be broken so the Russian people could see what is really going on

The BBC - unintentionally no doubt parroting - the Russian reference to an “oil tank”
That’s a very big tank.
Yesterday the headlines talked of “25 dead in missile strikes across Ukraine” where it was actually 2 out of 23 missiles that were not zapped killing 23 in Uman and 2 in Dnipro: the dead in Uman include boys aged 1 and 16 and girls aged 8, 11 and 14.
The two killed in Dnipro were a young mum and her 2 year old daughter

Meanwhile the Russian- installed grad if occupied Donetsk claimed a bus in the city was hit by a Ukrainian missile, killing all on board except the driver.
As they usually do in cases like this they released a picture - of a burned out bus.
I’ll stick my neck out and say; “fake news”

This will sound flippant and I suppose it is, but I can't help thinking that the climate protestors should be helped to descend 'en masse' on Russia.
Otherwise, obviously it is obscene and evil to deliberately target civilians; but Russia, equally obviously, has a long-term 'demoralise to win' philosophy. Russian history does not give cause for optimism when it comes to caring about human life.

I think that’s about to become “demoralise and lose”

[jourdain2]

I can only hope so Ich..

It’s coming ;-)
