  2. Do NOT despair : the lying and disgusting comments, most of them come from fake profiles paid in bananas RUBLES AND POTATOES by the KREMLIN. Russian trolls and bots are desperate and without a moral compass or sense of humanity

  9. The only reason why putin invaded is cause ukraine has some of the lomgest underground tunnels used to transport ppl, mostly the young ones, ukraine was the first country to proudly team up with hitler

  11. You are claiming that Russian took responsibility. Meanwhile they are denying l. So I know you’ve got that wrong.

  15. Has someone checked the missile type ??? Naturally the non elected Z. say that was the Russians. Just to remember the reactor was the same trick but then nobody has swallow it.

  18. Who could ever forget the disturbing vids of shock and awe as US prez Bush illegally invaded Iraq. Complete destruction of cities infrastructure was job #1 for war criminal Bush. Yet for US media outlets only Putin is a war criminal. Netanyahu blew every hospital but one to pieces. Destroyed every center of learning. Every government building. Cutoff water electricity sanitation. Yes Putin's a war criminal there is no doubt. Unfortunately US media today has devolved into government disinformation services. Lies of omission are their leading products. We must have peace

  19. Wars give desperate Presidents boosts in polls. Bush Sr. tried it in 1991. Watch all of this suspiciously as Biden may be planning some drastic "heroic" international action as the election nears. It's his only path to re election. Thousands of children in Ukraine have died and been injured over this war. But election years people care.

  24. It’s was a NATO air defense system missile which failed to intercept the Russian missile, which than hit the hospital on its way back down due to gravity, Russia’s missiles all hit the Artem industrial plant as was intended. Western fake news has no shame or honor!

  38. Amazing, where was this same outrage over Gestapo IDF soldiers bombing Palestinian hospitals with patients in them? Oh wait.. they're brown people right? What was I thinking. GFY
