Kiev Shells Russian City Donetsk During New Year’s Celebration
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Chris Black

Posted on 01/01/2024 3:50:09 PM PST by davikkm

For people who don’t know, Christmas in Russia/Ukraine is a more traditional advent thing, and it’s not commercialized like in the West.

It’s also on the 7th of January, because the Eastern Church uses the Julian (solar) calendar.

So, New Year’s is the bigger celebration day of the period.

They’ve even started with the Western-style gifts, but they do it on New Year’s, not on Christmas.

All the fools who call Netanyahu a terrorist should also do the same to Zelensky.

Right, because under communism, Russia became godless, and it remains so today.

Makes me laugh, this bullcrap, when Russia just this week launched attacks on civilians throughout Ukraine.

So now this story. But yeah we now “know they are evil.”

All the fools duped by such obvious Bolshevik gaslighting should find another hobby.

Even Ray Charles can see the vast difference between business as almost usual in “bombed by Ukraine” Donetsk and the depopulated Ukrainian cities that have been genocidally erased by invading Russian Nazis.

For people who don’t know, the holidays in America have been perverted, like everything else.

Why would I want to be on the side of the people who call Netanyahu a terrorist?

We already know who Putin is and what he’s done. But why are neocons defending Zelvis as an iconic defender of democracy?

He’s acting as desperately as the Germans in the last gasps of WWIII. Shelling downtown London with V2s is no different than dropping missiles in downtown Donetsk. Or for that matter, dropping cluster bombs on Belgorod just 2 days ago.

And America is so godly? Russia has had a resurgence of Christianity while in America and Europe the churches are being burnt.

Try not to be propagandized prog.

Ukraine has been shelling Donetsk ever since they declared their independence in 2024.

I don’t know. Why would you want to be on the side of people who call Stephan Bandera a hero and love Biden too?

There are too many Americans duped by Bidet and the lame stream media. They believe fantasies such as “Oh, if only the Israelis got rid of Netanyahu, the targeting (sic) of innocents in Gaza would stop”.

At the same time, more intelligent observers like you and I can discriminate and note that Zelensky’s removal would actually improve Ukraine’s situation. Imbecilic strikes on Donetsk and Belgorod are only serving to inflame Russian public opinion and prolong the war. They have ZERO strategic value and serve only as P. R.

It is now. They own it, and the Duma voted it in. They all have Russian passports.

They’ve been shelling Donetsk since the 2014 coup that overthrew the government.
