Yeah, Putin had women and children injured and few killed. Some of the women were pregnant and wanted their baby.
Thank you for that very simple and succinct explanation of international war crimes. I’ll add, there is no way to police crimes by nations, we can police international criminals, but prosecution of a country that commits war crimes is basically done through more war, including economic warfare and sanctions.
Pay attention. Babies, children, and women were killed. Many were injured. It was reported on several sources, but I guess you are blind to that, because your Putin can do no wrong.
How do you sleep at night? Anything you or DJ say about “collateral damage” from US forces or any other forces, really means nothing now. You are making excuses for bombing a maternity ward. You have lost the last shred of integrity that you had.
I sleep just fine. No, I am not making excuses for bombing a maternity ward you fool. What is the logic behind bombing a maternity ward? You tell me. What is gained? As always, stay away from the subject matter and resort to calling people names. Very shallow.
I bet you do.
I hear sociopaths don’t have any problem sleeping either.

Oh what about simply destroying a freak’n hospital that people depend on? - What I hear you two saying is that you think evacuating it, makes it’s destroying a hospital okay. What kind of morality dimension are you in?
The willful amoral disregard for what’s actually happening over there indicates how far we as as a civil people have fallen. The future doesn’t bode well, if we are incapable of learning anything.

There isn’t any logic to it. You are the one who said they were targeting cell phones. I’m commenting on your bad logic.
Terror, destruction and punishment !
I am sure that they targeted the hospital. And if they were targeting the cell phones, it is no better.
Putin armies have done so in Chechnya, in Georgia, in Syria,
He thought and he claimed that the Russian army was freeing the Ukrainian people governed by addict neo-nazis. The Ukrainian people resist him and rather successfully. they must be punished and destroyed.
Remember that Putin despise the ideas of freedom and human rights.

Terror! It is a statement of intent to commit genocide.
The greatest weapon in any war.

Good point @write4u. Logical doesn’t necessarily imply rational, I guess. Vulcans were known for making logical decisions that weren’t always humane.

Then that’s OK. I don’t expect anybody to be right all the time. Those who are, most likely aren’t getting much done. It is not my logic.
Moscow’s smartphone campaign targeted at least 4,000 NATO troops in Eastern Europe, including U.S. soldiers, according to the Wall Street Journal. Russia wants troop numbers on NATO bases, and the hacking into soldiers’ personal smartphones allows them to keep tabs on force strength.
Cellphones
- Researchers for Bellingcat, the open-source intelligence website, used soldiers’ social media posts to forensically trace the entire journey of the Russian military unit that transported the Buk missile launcher, which likely shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) over eastern Ukraine in 2014. Bellingcat used painstaking geolocation work on selfies the soldiers uploaded to popular Russian social media platforms VK and Odnoklassniki to determine the whole route. Some soldiers made the job a lot easier by photographing themselves in front of place-name signs along the way.
- In January this year, during a military exercise in the Mojave Desert, a US Marine Corps lance corporal ‘got his whole unit killed’ – hypothetically — by posting a picture of them on Facebook. Nowadays, every conflict zone is “an electronic warfare-type environment,” said the Marine Corps’ head of education, in a widely syndicated article clearly intended to get the message across the whole US military.
- But it’s not all soldier selfies. The 2018 Strava case showed that a popular fitness tracker, used by many in the US military and diplomatic services to record their favourite running routes for other app users, had exposed the locations of military and intelligence installations around the world.
Wow, 4000 troops stationed on various NATO bases in western Europe is sufficient threat to assemble 250,000 Russians troops and invade Ukraine, because Russia is in eminent danger of being invaded???
Anybody who buys this “pig in a poke” argument deserves to live under a dictator who has absolutely no respect for human life.
Putin is used to ordering the assassination of people he doesn’t like. This man has no conscience.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned the United States about the potential consequences of transferring weapons to Ukraine, saying convoys with foreign weapons would be “legitimate targets.”
I interpret that to mean Russia could bomb convoys in Poland - as a "Defensive"move.
Can’t say the US hasn’t played the same card in another game.
- and I’m not siding with Putin/Russia. Just pointing out how some things don’t change.
During the 2008–09 Gaza War, Israel shelled several UN schools. Among them were the Boys School in Beit Lahiya, the Asma Elementary School in Gaza City, the al-Fakhura school in Jabalia and a school in Khan Younis, which were run by the United Nations and were shelters for displaced persons.
19 May 2021 - Fifty schools in Gaza and three in Israel have been damaged in the last week – Save the Children
17 May 2021 - Israel-Palestine: Gaza hospitals targeted in heavy Israeli bombardment
11 Sept 2014 - Israel: In-Depth Look at Gaza School Attacks 45 People, Including 17 Children, Killed in 3 Attacks
Are there ‘two sides’ to attacks on healthcare? Evidence from Palestine
Israel regularly claims that the dozens of medical facilities bombed in Gaza are attacked because they house militants or arms. In some cases, the bombing is considered collateral damage for attacks on nearby facilities thought to be holding militants. In others, the Israeli military admits a target was a mistake. This reveals the entire premise of Israel’s approach to security: that their actions should be construed solely as self-defense in ongoing warfare, with the other side equally if not more culpable for attacks on its own people.
The 2021 attacks on Palestinian healthcare workers and facilities are therefore not isolated incidents but represent a pattern of illegal targeting, which may amount to war crimes. In response, the International Criminal Court has recently opened an investigation into these and other potential crimes in the oPt since 2014, and the United Nations Human Rights Council voted to open an investigation on violations of IHL after this latest assault. While too many lives have been lost, it is not too late for the international community, including health professionals, to change course and demand accountability.
I feel Russia being in the Ukrainian speaking parts of Ukraine could have been avoided. That it is because of the actions of the Biden Administration that this is going on.
I didn’t say it was OK. I’m hoping I just misunderstand you, and you aren’t saying that dropping bombs on maternity wards is OK.
I don’t remember where the bioweapons comments were, but here’s a fact check for you all:
Especially if it’s maternity and children’s hospital. Think of how many women and children you can kill just by hitting such hospitals. It is pure genocide, but luckily he didn’t kill as many as he probably wanted to, which would have been all of them. He’s a true sociopath, who’s completely out of touch with reality. As the president of Ukraine said, everything that Putin accuses everyone else of doing is what he is or will do.
More concerning Putin and what he’s doing. I don’t think Repugs really want this for the U.S., even though some, like the dotard, are in bed with Putin.
