How many women and children who didn't deserve to die, have died because of this totalitarian?

They get upset because somebody tried to kill a murderer?

It’s possible this is a Ukrainian attack, they are certainly capable of it now.

However it is equally likely this is a ‘false flag’ operation, bearing in mind a Ukrainian offensive, however limited, is likely any time now.

Either way it ups the anti more than somewhat.

Having looked at the various bits of video I don't think this is real. The whole thing looks faked from start to finish, there were even two people actually on the roof of the building that they allege was hit. There is no visible damage to the building. I think Putin is looking for a bit of sympathy.

Of course it's a false flag show..now they are trying to blame the US. Putin never stays in the Kremlin, let alone in the Senate building...

This could have something to do with it:

Seems the only thing not in short supply on the Russian side, is blame.

Where is Shogun when you need him, to explain how this is actually Putin on the verge of victory, with large numbers of expensive and difficult to produce ‘glide bombs’ clearing a path to Kiev and victory, when they don’t even have enough shells for the conventional Soviet era artillery???

And all this is before any Ukrainian counter attacks have even begun.
