It's an air defence missile, at the five second mark you can see the fragments impact the face of the building

Literally everything you say is bullshite, it truly is astonishing. But I suppose to be expected from someone who has more culturally and spiritually in common with the Ayatollah than our founding fathers.

It’s juvenile trolling for kicks or actual Russian troll farm bots at this point

I think Russia has been running operations for a while. On the kentucky rivals board. There is a Ukraine thread. And a guy called ''warrior poet31'' started posting shortly after Feb 2022. After Russia started mobilizing more men for Bahkmut. He disappeared...

Yes I know that. You know all of those memes with the Russian soldiers holding logs. Or the old Russian women looking tough? Versus a ''weak american soldier''? Those were made around 2008. When they invaded Georgia. They've been doing this for years.

Seriously, Russian or not, the fact that you’re actually attempting to make excuses and redirect a deliberate terrorist attack on a children’s hospital is disgusting. No matter what your nationality, those are kids with fricking cancer. If you have no feeling towards that then you seriously need to seek help. Not kidding at all. Also, your bullshite excuse that it was an air defense missile is, well, bullshite! Air defense missiles don’t carry near the amount of explosive payload as the Kh-101 (about 1,000 lbs) does to make anywhere close to that damage. The picture is unmistakably a Kh-101 and you still argue it. They really do train you people to be sheep.

Key Takeaways:

A Russian Kh-101 cruise missile hit the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in central Kyiv during a wider series of missile strikes targeting critical Ukrainian infrastructure throughout the day on July 8.

Russian officials and information space actors are attempting to deflect responsibility for the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital strike by making false claims about the missiles involved and the state of the hospital — all contrary to available evidence.

The July 8 Russian missile strikes likely employed a new and noteworthy tactic to maximize the damage from such strike series

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and People's Republic of China (PRC) President Xi Jinping continued to posture themselves as potential mediators to an end to the war in Ukraine during a July 8 meeting in Beijing, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's rejection of serious negotiations or any third-party mediation.

Russian Vice Admiral Sergei Lipilin replaced Vice Admiral Vladimir Vorobyov as Russian Baltic Fleet Commander.

Ukrainian forces recently regained lost positions in Chasiv Yar, and Russian forces recently advanced near Donetsk City and in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin called on July 8 for Russia to increase its domestic production of drones fivefold by 2030.

White House Maintains Weapons Restrictions Despite Children’s Hospital Strike

In response to a question about the Russian strike on Kyiv’s Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital this morning, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby stated that the Biden administration is not considering loosening its weapons restrictions on Ukraine. Despite the attack, President Joe Biden remains firm in his decision to restrict the use of long-range weapons for striking deeper into Russian territory.

Today in Warsaw, Poland’s Prime Minister @donaldtusk and I signed the Agreement on Security Cooperation between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland.

This unprecedented document includes a provision for shooting down Russian missiles and drones in Ukraine’s airspace that are fired in the direction of Poland. We are committed to implementing it. We will also cooperate on combat aircraft—both those already transferred by Poland and the possibility of transferring more in the future.

In our security agreement, we have formalized the formation and training of the Ukrainian Legion, a new volunteer military unit, on Polish territory. This unit will be trained in Poland and equipped by our partners.

Thank you for your solidarity with our country and people, and for all your support and assistance!

Argentina has decided to send weapons to Ukraine, according to Defense Minister Luis Alfonso Petri.

He said that Argentina will apply to join NATO, buy F-16 combat aircraft instead of Chinese machines and help Ukraine by sending it the weapons it needs to fight a war with russia.

When did this happen?


Like a week ago?

Your pro-Russian bias is not logical.



Observing a sequence of events is pro-Russia bias?

Wanting escalation to end is pro-Russia bias?

Escalation ends if Russia just goes home. If that isn't going to happen, which it appears not to be, we have to be more mindful of our own actions while also not giving Russia strategic advantages or capitulating to a geopolitical terrorist.

No, I don't.

If you actually READ what I said, I said they UPPED their attacks on infrastructure, which they did. I didn't say they just now STARTED.

And am I the only one who's worried about the prospect of a Nuclear Poland?


There has never been a weapons system on earth that was built, and then never used.

We will see a nuclear exchange between hostile countries sometime in the next 50 to 100 years. It is almost statistically guaranteed.

But it won't be Poland who starts it.
