Modi Rebukes

Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Moscow on the same day that Russia attacked three hospitals in Ukraine, including the children’s cancer hospital Okhmatdyt. The visit started with a huge between the two leaders — one psychopath, one so blindly dedicated to the short-term oil profits that he is willing to ignore psychopathy.

Bellingcat has issued a comprehensive article about what is known about the attack so far — evidence is conclusive that it was a Russian Kh-101 missile, and this is verified by cell phone video of the strike itself, where the missile is visible for several frames. The Kh-101 has a distinct shape, one that clearly shows it was not an air defense missile, as claimed by the Russian Ambassador to the UN and by Jackson Hinkle. Fragments of the missile were recovered by the Ukrainian military, and the explosion was far too large to have come from any air defense missile supplied by NATO. Elon Musk’s “Twitter” briefly labeled the Bellingcat article as “unsafe.”

Biden called the attacks “a horrific reminder of Russia’s brutality” and then had his official reiterate that Ukraine will not be allowed to strike military targets in Russia further than 100km from the border. The missiles are launched by aircraft and ground-based launchers that are often within the range of ATACMS and other weapons systems but beyond the 100km limit.
