False. Supporting a market based economy is in no way aligned with communism

They even had a script on a Russian plot to kill Zelensky. This was a complete plot. The assignment was given to Chechens in the plot. See, Chechens make for better villains in a drama. Giving that role to Russian operatives will not have same dramatic effect. Problem is no one informed Chechens they had a mission to assassinate Zelensky. And Zelensky himself is enjoying his global speaking tour addressing parliaments too much to give the fiction a proper tragic ending.

I am flabbergasted when same folks who cheered Zelensky when he distributes arms to civilians somehow are shocked when the civilians become valid military targets. What were the civilians supposed to do with the molotov cocktails handed to them by Zelensky? And what are Russian tankers supposed to do when molotov cocktails rain down on them?

There are always spin, hype, distortions, omissions, outright fabrications in these circumstances but for many they just swallow every line so long as it comes from the Ukrainian side.

Yep, the whole thing has been an exercise in the bizarre.

How people can push for a war for years and then , allegedly, cry over the masses of bodies it throws up and be considered by others to be genuine is ridiculous. But ridiculous appears to be all the rage here at DP of late

As they say with wars, the truth is the first casualty.

I have an open mind on the alleged bombing of this theatre. It could be the result of a Russian strike or it could be the Asov Nazis using their own destruction of it as a false flag.

We have already had the mosque incident and the use of footage from other conflicts thrown into the mix.

What we see here though is the rush to believe anything and everything that comes from the Ukrainian side from the usual suspects and the populists. They are wholly predictable on this and you won't get anywhere challenging their need to believe

Alleged bombing?

Really?

Interesting considering I have not seen any photos of said victims or their rescue, only "eyewitness testimonies", despite Ukraine eagerly using previous instances to fuel their propaganda war.

Our US MSM seems to assign Russia's war policy as one bypassing the Ukraine soldiers, Ukraine Women & Ukraine Men,
to go full bore after the children. It's just too funny & imbecilic to listen to anymore!

Many more innocent civilians will perish simply because of the Azov Brigades who are the singular
force rejecting the Russian demand to surrender. The solution to end the siege of Mariupol is
surrender.

Mariupol has been held by the Azov Battalion since 2014. Now their fighters seem to be growing
desperate pleading for western military intervention.
See on youtube (Official appeal of Azov commander Denis Prokopenko)
Azov Battalion has allies of ultranationalist tendencies through out Europe, in fact their commander
in Mariupol Prokopenko is Finnish!

"Since Russia launched its invasion, Azov Battalion soldiers have been filmed preventing civilians
from leaving Mariupol – even forcing men out of their cars and brutally assaulting them while they
attempted to break through the paramilitary’s checkpoints."

So then, President Xi is not the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)?

The ruling regime in China is a Communist regime.
