The headlines today- Russia Blames Ukraine for Fuel Depot Fire
Now I will be the first to admit that I did not read The Art Of War in it's entirety. But I do know that customarily, parties at war can and often will strike back at the other where THEY live.

Not in Russia they can't.
Read an article about citizens of Maripol being 'evacuated'. Russian troops overran the shelter they were in and told them they needed to leave 'for their own safety'. They were all put on trains to the section of Ukraine under separatist control and 'processed' - meaning they had to hand over all of their papers and give the nice Russians helping them the passwords to their phones and social media accounts before they were provided with food and shelter.
Then they were moved into Russia. The woman interviewed said that if you had some Russian connections or money (rubles only please), they let you leave to stay with the relatives. Otherwise they kept you (she didn't know where, because she and her family were lucky and able to leave). The other thing she said was that almost every Russian they saw supported the invasion - all the news was about how Russia was 'helping' Ukraine. They even had footage of a woman who was in the shelter with her who was being provided 'medical care' because of an injury. Left unsaid was that the injury was caused when the Russians bombed her apartment building.
As you've noted before John, the Russians are propaganda experts. And there aren't a lot of Western reporters in Ukraine who can get the real story out as to what they're doing there. Just hoping we hold the line on sanctions and tightening them, along with condemning Putin and his actions over and over.

Ukraine is saying it wasn't them. Ok. Maybe it was Israel.
BFD. Ukraine should be sending some troops to Russia to bomb the fuck out of their happy little enclaves. Maybe then their people would wake up and realize this can effect them too. Other than the 1000s of bodies being sent home to mother rusky in parts and pieces.

It was probably Russia, with their own errant artillery rockets.

Probably was Russia.
And those bodies are being sent home as heroes - warriors defending the Motherland against the evil West.
