The United State’s Pentagon, or military-industrial complex has “nothing to say,” after Ukraine used U.S.-supplied weapons to strike a busy Crimean beach. The deadly Ukrainian cluster munition attack on a crowded beach in Sevastopol, Russia on Sunday, killed at least four people, among them two children, and injured 151 others.
This is just one more step over the red line Russia has laid down.
Russia’s threats have been empty so far, and the West has continued to push further and further past the proverbial red lines in order to keep the war machine going.
RIA Novosti has reported that the Ukrainian attack was carried out with US-supplied ATACMS missiles and that Washington is responsible for providing Ukraine with intelligence data for the strikes.
When RIA asked the Pentagon about the use of US-supplied weapons in the strike on Sunday, an official replied, “We have seen the reports and have nothing to say.”
Moscow has placed the blame primarily on Washington, accusing it of enabling the “premeditated terrorist missile attack.” The targets for these US-provided missiles are assigned to Ukrainian troops by American specialists, based on their own intelligence data, the Defense Ministry stated.
Kiev deliberately chooses mass gatherings of people as targets, both out of hatred and to sow panic, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said following the attack. The day of the Holy Trinity holiday was picked deliberately, she claimed. -RT
The attack was purposefully carried out when there was a maximum concentration of people on the beach, Antonov told journalists when asked to comment on Washington’s lack of reaction to the deadly strike.
“The administration demonstratively supports the crimes of the Kiev regime. It took the side of international terrorism, and condones attacks on civilians by Bandera’s adherents,” the ambassador stated, according to a report by RT.
“It is obvious to policymakers in Washington that cluster munitions in ATACMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence. It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day,” he added.
The death of civilians (members of Russia’s slave class) could further infuriate Russia, which has so far withheld from any meaningful retaliation against the U.S., and the West at large. In fact, Russia’s restraint in this matter is the only thing keeping the globe from blowing up into a horrific world war.
