“But on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insinuated that the attack on Ukraine’s capital that killed at least 19 people, including four children, was an understandable response to Ukraine’s assault on Russian refineries over the last month.”

"was an understandable response to Ukraine’s assault on russian refineries over the last month.”

I have no words.

[u/TrueRignak → u/GreenEyeOfADemon]

I have two : "Russian assets".

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/TrueRignak]

Yeah, in this case they even speak the same language. And it is neither English or russian.

[u/Unfair_Run_170 → u/GreenEyeOfADemon]

Lady Liberty volunteered for Gulag duty with Putin. Hand in hand, they laugh at Europe and Canada.

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/Unfair_Run_170]

They killed 4 innocent kids, but apparently this was "was an understandable response".

[u/Unfair_Run_170 → u/GreenEyeOfADemon]

Understandable to Americans I'm sure. They've supported Isreal doing the same thing for years now.

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/Unfair_Run_170]

What is happening somewhere in the Middle east is not my concern and frankly I don't care.

[u/Unfair_Run_170 → u/GreenEyeOfADemon]

They don't care about civilians, in the Middle East, or in Europe.

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/Unfair_Run_170]

I care about Europe, since we have ongoing the biggest and bloodiest war after WW2.

[u/Fluid-Piccolo-6911 → u/GreenEyeOfADemon]

two faced twat

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/Fluid-Piccolo-6911]

Personal attack, the hallmark of someone with no worthwhile point to make.

[u/tablakapatarei → u/Unfair_Run_170]

Hamas is literally a genocidal terrorist organization.

[u/coprosperityglobal → u/Possible_Golf3180]

So if someone will kill some American children because of an oil issue with them is fine? Let me understand better

[u/Fluid-Piccolo-6911 → u/coprosperityglobal]

with the number of kids killed in school shootings in the usa it is obvious america does not care if kids are killed.

[u/Unfair_Run_170 → u/Possible_Golf3180]

They're Russia's ally now.

The USA isn't our friend anymore.

[u/SuggestionEphemeral → u/Possible_Golf3180]

Everything Ukraine is doing is an understandable response to Russia's invasion of their territorial sovereignty.

[u/DeadbaseXI]

Why do we treat this administration like we can expect the slightest competence, consistency or honesty from them?

[u/estrellaente → u/DeadbaseXI]

Are we talking about the United States or the European Union?

[u/slimfastdieyoung]

They’re all Putin’s puppets. Fortunately there’s a place named Nuremberg in the USA as well

[u/IndieRus]

Trump is a manjurian candidate.

[u/aticsom]

Trump is dead apparently 🤣

[u/ArdDC → u/aticsom]

They will make a puppet from his skin and no one will see the difference

[u/aticsom → u/ArdDC]

Mayhap they already did

[u/SodenHack69 → u/aticsom]

Wat?

[u/beti88 → u/SodenHack69]

Some random rumour on r/technology

[u/aticsom → u/beti88]

one can dream

[u/Vivid_Writing_2778]

So does it mean Ukraine can attack civilians and it will be drugged off?

[u/vegarig → u/Vivid_Writing_2778]

Of course no.

Once you have no nukes, you have no sovereignty

[u/bus_on_mars → u/vegarig]

Why, Ukraine has enough of nuclear fuel to cover in radioactive dust main cities. The possibility of such an answer to nuclear threat works almost like nukes.

[u/vegarig → u/bus_on_mars]

I'm sure there's a few ASMP-A and B61 with Ukraine's name written on it, if such a threat's to be attempted

[u/bus_on_mars → u/vegarig]

A dozen of drones spiralling over the capital can make the same job.

[u/GreenEyeOfADemon → u/vegarig]

Sadly true.
