  1. What is the price tag on the lives that were destroyed today?
    Do the CEOs of Western companies that continue doing business with and in the russian terrorist federation read news about such depraved atrocities as committed today by the fascist terrorists, knowing that they helped to finance those strikes? Do they feel remorse? Do they feel anything? How about those responsible for useless sanctions? What about those who applied balls and chains to Ukraine’s desperate fight for survival? What about those who outright side with the fascist terrorists?
    Is there any shame?

    • I just done a quick look through various US media sites. MSNBC don’t have one word of this terrorist attack, but managed to get 15 articles about Trump on its front page.

      • No surprise several top media sites have Trump followers or leanings of their CEOs. I’ll see if I can track down the list, but even CNN has a Trump supporting CEO.

      • That doesn’t surprise me one bit. I think we’ve mentioned numerous times what a piss poor job the MSM has been doing over this war. They have voluntarily surrendered their original calling. Reading their low-quality reporting is equal to reading comic books.
