Can I get a hexbear in here to tell me if this is a good thing or not

[–] maus@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, Hexbear's left nut here. Im trans btw. This is actually Ukraine's fault for accepting arms from the USA to defend themselves from Russian aggression. If the USA never offered arms to Ukraine, this could have been avoided.

When are the liberals going to wake up to the reality that they are directly responsible for these deaths?

You've got the basic tone right, but that message was far too coherent.

Half the time I only can work out about 50% of what they're on about. You also need to allude to conspiracies that literally no one outside of their little group has heard of e.g. how Ukraine actually signed an agreement with NATO to invade Russia or something.

How is being trans a conspiracy? 20 percent of hexbears user base is trans. I dont know why liberals feel so comfortable misgendering all of them when they say shit like this.

What's the point of hitting a market unless your intent is to spread fear?

Russias tactics in this war can essentially be summed up as "shoot blindly into the crowd"

Ukraine: We hit a billion dollar mobel electronic warfare trailer with our rocket!

Russia: We hit a fish market!

I'm sure Russia will try to say this is a legitimate military target.

Apparently they say it's the Ukrainians shelling themselves...

Now now, give credit where credit is due - this kind of Russian attack is better filed under “false flag attack”.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A Russian missile crashed into a market in the heart of a Ukrainian city Wednesday, killing at least 17 people in one of the deadliest attacks in months, officials said.

The attack on the industrial eastern city of Kostiantynivka came hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the capital, Kyiv, in a show of U.S. support.

The fiery blast came from nowhere, and within seconds debris and dust were flying into the air in video shared by Zelenskyy on Wednesday and geolocated by NBC News.

Blinken, the first top U.S. official to visit Kyiv since the counteroffensive began in early June, met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

Kuleba said in an earlier Telegram post, alongside a picture of him and Blinken, that they paid their respects to "fallen heroes" at Kyiv's Berkovetske cemetery.

Ukrainian forces are fighting to turn what appears to be a minor breakthrough in the south into a substantial breach of Russian defensive lines before winter sets in.

FWIW, the video of the attack makes it seem like the missile came from the Ukrainian direction rather than the Russian direction. This could be one of those glide vehicles, but that's rather unlikely...
