WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said it did not support Ukraine launching attacks inside Russia after two drones from Ukraine damaged buildings in Moscow earlier on Monday.

"As a general matter we do not support attacks inside of Russia," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in a press briefing.

Russia vowed to take harsh retaliatory measures against Ukraine, calling the two drone strikes, including one close to the Defence Ministry's headquarters, a brazen act of terror.

"This is a war that Russia started. This is their war," Jean-Pierre said. "And they can end it at any time by withdrawing forces from Ukraine instead of launching brutal attacks on civilians."

What a bunch of pansy-assed hypocrites.

Surely even Ukrainians are smart enough to know these people have their OWN agenda...and it's not yours.

Why don’t you go over there and tell the Ukrainian people, who you care so much about, that they aren’t really fighting for themselves?
Just my guess that they would shoot you.

Concur. What’s ironic is many of these people who support Russia would be shot by the Russians. Because, well...Russia.

Ukraine will reap what they sew. The gloves are coming off. For those who think Russia is Evil, they have not yet seen Russia deploy cluster bombs on the scale Ukraine has started. Russia promises to give 10x in return.

My arm chair quarter backing says that Ukraine needs to focus on destroying Russian equipment, supplies and personnel inside of the borders of Ukraine. If they concentrate on destroying the army, territory will follow.

Every member of the Biden administration can go straight to hell as far as I’m concerned.

But you have someone on here tonight calling for the Chechens and Wagner to conquer Western Europe, and for Russia to attack and destroy our cities.

And that’s just crazy nonsense.

I will be more than happy for Trump to be elected and end this war.

Sometimes the racism behind the Ukranian trolling effort really shines through the incessant propaganda. There are days when a Ukie troll insists all Russians are filthy pigs and need to be shot. There's your post - Russians would shoot someone because...well, Russia.

That shines through in the trash propaganda - wherein the Ukrainians are insisting Russia was targeting hospitals. I recall the early efforts in the war where the trolls were insisting that the Russians were torturing, raping, pilaging - it's not like they had a military mission. They were falsely portrayed as sociopaths tormenting for sport.

So it makes sense to you with someone ofyour mindset to say people would be shot because that's what Russians do. Others, myself included, think there's a war going on and actions on both sides are primarily militarily useful and being undertaken by people who know they may die if they don't perform those military functions, or do so incorrectly. I know there are war crimes - the Ukrainians, for example, filmed themselves executing Russian POW's with a bullet to the back of the head. Where there are war crimes - punish.

Just don't expect me to sign on to your sick view that the Ukraine's enemies are genetically mindless killers.

I think the Ukie attitude is where the 'ethnic cleansing' comes from, with East firing on West in hopes of exterminating persons of Russian descent living in Eastern Ukrainian. They see no barrier to ethnic cleansing because, well...Russia. Just filthy pigs living there, right? *shudder of disgust*

What a bunch of jackasses.

Here they are sending tens of billions worth of arms over there, and then take issue with what they do with them.

I do not support our involvement over there, but were I the Ukrainians, there would be a giant middle finger to the Biden administration.

They shouldn’t be worried the pipeline would be shut off either.

Why are you still here in America Williams? Don’t you have the courage of your convictions to go fight over in the Ukraine?

Mariner probably cares as much for the Ukrainian corrupt satrapy as I do, not a rat’s a$$. I assume you care at our current rate of $10Billion a month?

There are crazies for both sides on this forum now. A few want a Russian victory and some want Russia destroyed and dismembered. There are the smears and insults to anyone who advocates peace negotiations.

Liars. Isn’t that what you sent all that crap over there for? Not only for distraction while you launder the cash, but making politicians and donors rich via investments in the military complex.

If that was the case, then they would have made it mandatory that every dollar and weapon that was sent, would be fully accounted for on the other end. They could give a rat's a$$.

“Surely even Ukrainians are smart enough”

Nope they’ve shown themselves to be an incredibly stupid people. Anyone there with an IQ over the idiot level left that country long ago.
