I'm too young to remember the first cold war, but it seems totally insane to me that Russia is carrying out repeated war crimes routinely now, and the West is literally doing nothing to address it.

Is there any proof that it was Russia? Anything, even a shred of evidence? I see only a weasel expression "believed to" - not explaining by who and why.

It seems unlikely to me that hacking the doctor would allow precise localisation of the operating theatre within the hospital complex. It could maybe reveal there is a hospital in the area, but it's been hit 17 times before, so it doesn't seem necessary.

I think it's more likely that the hospital is regularly bombed, and this time the operating theatre is where they happened to hit.

What should happen is that the Doctor's computers should be sent for computer forensics to see if there is any evidence of this hack. There is no mention of this happening.

These dirty trick they always play when they see that fair play will not given them any advantage in their economical and political goals. All the yardsticks they use be superior are b.s now I think, like democracy, freedom of press/speech, human rights etc. Instead they are least democratic and free states run by conglomerate of capitalist like selling their rights with soap and diapers.

It's not insane if you consider the West is doing the very same thing (committing war crimes) but Western media doesn't report in the same way about it. Just check what the Americans did in Iraq, whom they deliver their weapons in Syria to, ... One thing I always ask myself: The war in Syria is basically won by the regime, so why the heck would they now resort to bombing hospitals and C-weapon attacks on the populati…

And that with the war on terror, we are in war constantly since 2001. But apparently this was not enough and we need the old enemy again.

Like the US is carrying out repeated war crimes and the West does nothing - or the "East" for that matter. If something goes to court in the US if it even does, punishment is light [2] and pushed down to the lowest levels (Lynndie England got 2 years [1]). Or pushed by the president (Drone kills without a declaration of war). If you have nuclear weapons and a large defence budget, you can do whatever you like to othe…

Drone kills without a declaration of war That's not a war crime in itself.

Last I checked waging war without declaring one is a war crime.

Can you check again? Where is that defined as a war crime?

Indeed, people have become skeptical of the mainstream narrative. Why does that happen? Because things don't add up.

mainstream narrative is nothing more than propaganda and any human with little brain can easily find the facts.
