^^Russian missiles struck Odesa, the Ukrainian port city, overnight Sunday destroying Transfiguration Cathedral, damaging the Count Pototskyi Palace (Palace of Scientists), killing one, and injuring 22 others, including children.^^
You are repeating the narrative that is fed to you. Ukrainian claims that the Orthodox cathedral in Odessa was severely damaged by a Russian missile strike are false. It will have at best been a missile defence error by Ukraine, or worse, a deliberate provocation. When we ordered the Ukraine military to fire at the nuclear plant, of course we reported it as Russia firing on it (despite controlling it and having no reason whatsoever to fire at it). Or when we blew up the Nordstream pipeline, the largest infrastructural terrorist act of the 21st century, we similarly put Russia as the culprit and when it was embarrassingly obvious that it was Washington, we turned the camera away. The UN are not even investigating it despite It being central to their concern and normally warranting being front page in the paper until it is shown that Washington organised this terrorist act. Return to this story about the cathedral combing in 2 years, once our propaganda is overshadowed by actual analysis, and you will find it to be highly unlikely that Russia is blew up the cathedral. Russia has the incentive to go after military objects. We have the incentive to create a war zone. In our media the line is "every bombing as Russia has no purpose except to create havoc". The truth is the diametric opposite of that. We are creating the havoc, have been doing so since 2014, and Russia is doing everything in their power to protect Ukraine from our rampant war sponsorship.
I sincerely do not blame you for following our own military PR narrative because prior to visiting Ukraine many times I had no idea how brainwashed I was myself. The first two visits I was still brainwashed but I started to read history, listen to everyone, and over time I learned that I was being lied to in the US. This is much like our soldiers visiting Vietnam - at first we are liberating the place, and then we realise we are destroying it without purpose. I saw the military and media take-over in Ukraine sine 2014 with my own eyes.
Imagine administering Russia, having been devastatingly invaded twice last century, and having our weapons on almost every inch of their border and asking repeatedly to have them removed. They removed the Warsaw Pact to create peace and the idea was for NATO to, if not be removed as unnecessary, then to at least stay far from Russia's border. So what do we do? We move NATO all around Russia repeatedly. Imagine standing in Russia between 2014 and 2022 and watching 14,000 Ukrainians killed by weapons supplied by us with the goal to try to lure Russia in. But they keep their cool and put efforts to have Minks I peace accords, then the Minsk II peace accords implemented, originally agreed by Ukraine. We don't even report these peace treaties because it would be so embarrassingly obvious that they should be strictly adhered to. So we turn the camera away, keep smearing Russia and our weapons continue flowing in after 2014, and promises announced that NATO will be more and more involved. Russia gave repeated warnings that this was a red line and we ignored every warning as if they were just bluffing. Our military wanted the war, continue to want the war (though some of the hysterical support at Washington goes over the top at times to far too dangerous and the military try to calm them a little).
The reports you are reading have the goal to encourage you to cheer for more weapons to be sent in. Nothing else.
The conflict there can end straight away if Washington actually wanted that. They would just listen to what Russia has been asking since 2008 which is for Ukraine to remain as a buffer zone. There more we send weapons in, the longer the war will go on for and the end will be the same - Ukraine will be disarmed and returned to peace. But we want the proxy war to go for as long as possible, our military does not want peace, and we in the public are being led to cheer it as we cheered every proxy war that we sponsored.
I'm afraid to say we are the criminals here. Furthermore we have the capacity to hold our own criminals to account legitimately owing the ordinary concept of sovereignty, but we should concentrate on criminals in other countries. Similarly if you live in Canada, you concentrate on the crimes of your own politicians, rather than going after US politicians. You criticise firstly your own domain with ten times more weight than other domains, because that is what sovereign democracy is. But concentrating on crimes of others is a non-democratic US policy trick to create hatred and emotions, and reducing accountability of our own politicians.
