      They are barely holding on. Russia fires 7x more shells than ukraine. The absolutely need and should get more support from the free world.

        At some point I’d really like an explanation about why we can’t give 16s and M1As to Kyiv without also sending a few crates to Israel.

            “Money” isn’t an answer, you need to provide clarification.

            Corruption + money + a fair amount of racism

      they’re not a reliable source but there’s no reason for the ukrainian military or secret services to gun down a random concert in moscow

      Which actually makes me wonder: What do you mean with “source”? The Kyiv Independent doesn’t exactly have a track record of being uncritical of Zelensky, are you surprised that the journalists are not challenging his assessment? That they might, *gasp*, agree with him?

        I read that comment as meaning that Russia is not a reliable source as they go on to say that “he (Zelensky) shouldn’t worry about it”.

        The sentence places “the source” and “he” at opposition.

      The US Security Service has already confirmed the attacks were by ISIS, not that they were ever denying it.

      If Ukraine can get units that far behind the front line they’re not going to bother going after civilians are they?
