    Are we in agreement that Bucha is a little fishy? I mean come on, not even a week after Ukrainian forces were being criticized for treatment of POWs, right after the US kept suspiciously banging on about an impending chemical weapon attack we suddenly get a video of the most classic of atrocities: A village being killed with bodies littering the streets. Riddle me this, why would the Russians, who are already getting tons of negative press throughout the West and withdrawing kill off an entire town and then not clean up the bodies?

    If my gut is right, this the most blatant false flag in years.

      I´m usually very cautious with stuff like this because I don´t want to get in the conspiracy theorist corner. It could be a lot of things, for example a squad within the Russian army killing innocent people. Honestly, I don´t see the Russian army giving explicit orders for this. There´s absolutely no reason for it. So a squad of absolute subhumans seems to be a more reasonable explanation.

      I´ll wait for more details in the next days but if this is the case I hope Russia holds them accountable.

        I’m also a little fearful of a manufacturing consent campaign going on right now with the whole ‘They will use chemical weapons’ and the extreme increase in ‘All Russians are racist fucks’ I see on Reddit.

          I know the feeling, this feels like a campaign to make us accept doing something horrible to Russian people. That being said, despite all the praise Biden’s getting on Twitter and Reddit for his saber rattling, I get the feeling that his approval rating will absolutely tank if we suddenly commit troops to fighting Russia. Going to war right now would not have the effect the Dems are hoping for on their popularity.

            That’s the thing I’m worried about lol. That they are making it so that there will be support. But I could also be seeing ghosts (not of Kyiv) so who knows

        Given Zelensky’s orders to hand out weapons to citizens and given the existence of Teroborona, even if there were plainclothed people killed, they may not have been civilians per se.
