Any person can choose their side as far as how they wish the world order to look like. But only an ignorant person, or one who can’t make the simplest deductions, can blame Russia for all the criminally stupid NATO expansion and general provocations made towards them since 1991. If you want democracy and freedom then start by stopping the lies, regaining the integrity of the media, and fixing your own autocratic governments before you even dare to judge or condemn others.

You don't have to destroy an entire runway. All you have to do is damage one area on each segment that denies the fighter jet sufficient runway to land or takeoff. So, if it needs a quarter mile, just damage those portions that deprive the jet of a quarter mile on the runway. My guess is you would not need more than a foot deep crater to deny a jet a safe landing. Russia will easily destroy them all. MIT physics professor Ted Postol who was a weapons specialist/analyst for the Pentagon believes based upon the designed range, the trajectory, path, speed and point of origin, the destination was the center of Sevastopol which has no military targets.

The unenhanced video on Telegram does look much more like a Kh-101 than a AIM-120. So I have to go with the Kh-101 theory. However, saying that Russia wasted a $13M weapon to deliberately target a hospital with no military significance makes no sense. Especially right before a major NATO summit giving Zelenskyy talking points. The other possibility is that the Ukrainian defense system knocked it off target. It could have been knocked off target by a projectile or GPS jamming.

Alexander was amazingly polite and diplomatic with the host of this programme, who very obviously has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to anything Russia does. One does not have to like Russia, to realise that the 4 territories of Novorossiya will NEVER return to Ukraine. Nor does one have to like Russia, to realise that they are fighting with great restraint - the actual evidence of true war crimes is overwhelmingly against the Ukrainians and their Western backers. This host is an embarrassment - he is profoundly ignorant and deeply uneducated. Mercouris is erudite and hugely impressive, as always.

We can say more than that. Ukrainian have mobilised 4 times now and are currently doing the 5th mobilisation forcing people or taking people by force to fight. Ukrainian dead is over 650,000 KIA. With over 1.3 million wounded and no longer able to fight. The evidence are in the dynamics regarding mobilisation and subsequent trainings given to new Ukrainian conscripts who are thrown into fights after just two weeks of training. That is the dire situation the Ukrainians are with dwindling personnel. Why is Ukraine asking for Ukrainian refugees in the EU be deported to fight. We must remember that Ukraine started this war with 450K strong in Feb 2022. Before that year ended, they mobilised twice or so. And twice last year 2023. Forceful fifth mobilisation is ongoing in 2024. I do not agree with the presenter of this channel " blaming Russia for the invasion". The issue is who engineered and caused the war? I think we all know who that is. The Russians have every right to go in. Everyone seems to forget that the whole of Ukraine is the ancestral Russian origin when Kievan Rus was established before capital were moved to St Petersburg and Moscow. I wonder what the Americans will do if similar is done to them? We all know the answer to that.

The Dutch guy, the show host clearly doesn't get it. Time wasted, Alexander. One thing that does need to be understood by the West is that Ukraine as a state appeared in 1991 with the following conditions: 1. Military neutrality 2. Respect for it's ethnic Russian and Russian speaking population including their cultural and religious rights. And this is not a minority, but a majority in that country at about 60% Ukrainian authorities have grossly violated these principles after the West supported coup in 2014. Russia's mistake was to allow this coup to happen and not to support uprising against the coup in at least 10 oblast (regions) where people wanted to restore constitutional order. Now they are paying for their mistakes and procrastination with a prolonged bloody war.
