    As horrific as this is, and believe me I would not suggest otherwise, Mighty Russia, supposed military rival of the U.S., has been trying its damnedest to murder Ukrainians and this is one of the deadliest attacks they’ve been able to make. There could be up to 200 dead here and I hope there aren’t, but if this is the worst Russia can do and it’s taken this long, that says quite a bit.

      Not as bad as when the Kremlin bombed that theatre in Mariupol full of children with an enormous sign outside that said “children”

        I was using that to illustrate what Russia has been traditionally thought of in terms of power- equal to the world’s largest and supposedly most powerful military. I’m not sure why you would think I was making it about the U.S. unless “U.S.” was the only word you read in the comment.
