Six Embassies Damaged In 'Barbaric' Russian Attack On Kiev

At Least 6 Dead After New Ukrainian HIMARS Attack On Russian Town

Cross-border tit-for-tat missile exchanges between Russia & Ukraine are really accelerating fast...

FRI DEC 20, AT 11:05 AM



Ramping up............... 👎
Multiple embassies housed within the building...I wonder what else was housed there?

Every time Ukraine launches missiles into Russia, the retaliate. The msm states how barbaric the Russian attack was, but makes no such mention of the corresponding attack previously launched.

Well, the building that housed those embassies? There is video of the strike, Toronto Business Center,...kind of "sparkly" I guess would be the term? Some are saying it could have been a partial hit, and the Ukraine air defense brought down a missile before impact. Other things are said like it could have been an air defense missile coming in as a miss, or an errand slow missile (non-hyper). All those are pretty possible. There looked to be a more high value target hit a few blocks away. The Luch aerospace headquarters was hit, and they make both air defense and cruise missiles. Funny, no images of that building in the MSM. Also no images of the Holiday Inn that was destroyed that morning as well. Seems like a hotel and office building would be headliners as well.

@regor , look up the LA fires, and the Ukrainian leaders who lost homes. Kind of funny.

Also, some videos out of the attempted bribery of Russian soldiers near Gorlovka. The soldiers took the money, reported it to their superiors, and didn't vacate the areas they were asked to.

The videos show the FSB laying out nice, crisp, bundles of American currency.

When King Trump speaks.... All others squat and Shit.
Something tells me Putin isn't squatting. A meeting between him and Trump would have to be really interesting listen to.

We joke about Trump being "gangsta". What I was thinking though, being in real-estate in NY, he's probably had to deal with the mob types to some extent...like the gold chain teamsters boss and people like that. I think both leaders see it as numbers. Trump, dollars either spent or to be made. Putin, bodies stacked, either side. Neither of them are stupid, and both want the best outcome for their people.

Sadly, I really think both Putin and Trump care more about the Ukrainian people more than the Ukrainian leaders. Now, with USAID shut off, and no more spending from Biden, those same leaders will be scrambling. I'd like to see Trump sieze the properties of those leaders here in the states. The Lord works in mysterious ways though...a few of them did lose mansions in the Cali fires.

First of, F'k the war walrus.

Secondly, Zelensky is probably holding out for a golden parachute before he signs anything. Once he's out, his own people will lynch him, or the FSB will drag him to the gulag. He wants a beach house somewhere with a new name and and a pocket full of cash.

He needs some of those Dinero platform deals. Him being the whore he is though, will probably end up wearing stilettos and latex (that's an image that'll etch your mind's eye)
I think that there is already a music video of him in that outfit.

Made of German tanks. 😆

I know, I know........................REGOR IS A RUSSIAN AGENT!!!!!!! 🤣
This will probably be seen as "Putinism" or something...but that's an amazing structure. I haven't traveled places, but love seeing architecture from places. Old churches worldwide have artwork like murals and sculptures nicer than most museums. To me, the most shocking thing isn't that the filmed church was in Russia, it's that any part of it was constructed within the last century.

Ok, looked up "Russian Church of the Resurrection"....apparently there are 500 of them, common name for Russian Orthodox churches. Used the same, and looked at images to find out stuff. The above cathedral the "Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces". It was consecrated in 2020 for the 75th anniversary of WWII. The floor tiles aren't just Panzer parts, guns, knives...basically all the Nazi collectibles. What looked like paintings of soldiers are actually mosaics. It looks like the church is at the end of a place they call Patriot Park, military museums, memorials and displays.

That cathedral is 20 years newer than my house, but I thought it was old, and remodeled after WWII.

Off topic, but if you can look past the shithole that is Detriot - Man there are some really neat old structures there.

Been probably 10-12 years since I was last there, but you can tell at one time it was beautiful...

Same with LA, some very "Metropolis" looking modern architecture from the 30's and 40's in commercial buildings, mixed with Spanish revival homes from the 30's and 40's.

The European Union has FAILED to reach a deal for Ukraine, as “emergency meeting” ends with NO funding or rearmament, per NYPost
European Union leaders concluded an emergency summit without reaching a consensus on additional funding or rearmament support for Ukraine. The discussions included proposals to increase defense spending and the potential seizure of $227 billion in frozen Russian central bank reserves to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction. However, these measures faced opposition from some member states, notably Hungary, leading to a lack of unanimous agreement.
