    I understand your point, but Ukraine was invaded, it's an act of war, and they're being bombed regardless.

    If you start shooting or launching missiles from these hospitals, then yes... they become fair targets.

    Also understood, but I'm getting a little lost about what your actual point is. The difference maker is that Ukraine didn't invade Russia. They're defending themselves no matter which way the misinformation or disinformation door swings. There's no disputing that.

    Nothing in Ukraine is a fair target...

    If there are armed men in thkse buildings it's a fair target.

    My point is that there's a lot of disinformation coming from both sides. They painted the maternity ward shelling as it was a total atrocity and attack on pregnant women and babies. It was on the cover/front page of pretty much every freaking newspaper or news website. But in reality they most likely attacked a military target that used to house pregnant women and babies.

    That laugh she does is definitely some kind of nervous tic for her. Not excusing it at all, just saying.

    Stop being an asshole. KKK references aren't in the least bit funny. How many times do you have to be banned before you wake the fuck up? Find another way to bust his balls.

    Clinton stood by while Chechnya was destroyed before Putin came onto the scene. GW Bush stood by while Georgia was invaded by his good friend "Vladdy".

    It would be totally against the grain of US-Russian relations if we actively intervened with military force in Ukraine.

    However it would be right in line with US history if we intervened if Russia crossed redlines into NATO territory.

    Thanks bickety...

    I don't give a shit if @barfolomew insults me... he's called me all kinds of names... some are even funny considering how off base they are.
    Most are unwarranted... I realize he's looking for attention and an argument.

    But the kkk thing is unacceptable to me... and it should be unacceptable to every user of this board.

    I think part of the equation is that Americans can be an odd and forgetful bunch. Nothing has been fought on our own soil since the the Civil War.

    we live in the United States of America where there are armed men in every building. No, that doesn't make them fair targets. Especially during a cease fire period. unreal

    It's in accordance with the laws of war. The whole invasion is a crime but im not going to cry every time a building gets hit or a shot gets fired

    Akkkad is good at it. He says all he wants and then likes to play the victim.

    Go find something Acad has posted that would make you think he's aligned with the Ku Klux Klan. When you can't find anything and you still think it's acceptable, then I guess we are all free to label you whatever we want. Fair enough?
