Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of attacking the bridge to Russian-annexed Crimea, saying that it was an "act of terrorism".
"There is no doubt, this is an act of terrorism aimed at destroying Russia's critical civilian infrastructure," Mr Putin said.
Seriously?
I mean, I’m not even a pro-Ukraine person (I’m not pro-Russia either, in case anyone gets any confusing ideas about it), but this is so blatantly hypocrite, surely even Putin can’t think anyone will take him seriously.
I mean, he’s fukking destroyed 70% of Ukraine’s infrastructure in a 6 month war.. and he accuses them of terrorism???
God damn. The balls on that man.
He’s bare-backed horse riding version of bloody trump.

Define "terrorism".
Is war terrorism? If it is everyone who invades other counties are terrorists. Then the terrorists who invaded call the people fighting against their occupation terrorists. See how that works?
You need to define the term, otherwise you are just being biased and hypocritical. You are accepting certain terrorism while rejecting others. Is a civil war terrorism? Are civil wars a justification for invasion? If so, why are some civil war interventions justifiable while others are not?
Ukraine engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Explain to me what kind of terrorism justifies another form of terrorism, an invasion. Can you do it without becoming a huge hypocrite?
@shavixmir
Who are the terrorists, the USA for invading and occupying Syria or the Syrians who are fighting the occupation?

Is it both?
@metal-brain saidBlabbing utter 💩 again MB the Russians ethnically cleansed the eastern part of Ukraine and Crimea of Ukrainians when they invaded in 2014 and they continued in that vein during this invasion using atrocities in places like Bucha to get as many Ukrainians as possible to flee westward before the Russian advance.

I think you’ve missed the point as usual, why is one attack on infrastructure a terrorist attack and a constant 6 month barrage of attacks on infrastructure not terrorism?
9/11 was a classic terrorist attack because it targeted civilians and was carried out by a non state actor.
I’m guessing Putin had his usual slimy little smile on his steroidal bloated slimy face when he made that statement.

It's defined already
"You need to define the term,"
Not when there is no genuine misunderstanding and just a lame attempt to divert the discussion.
@shavixmir saidIt's not meant to convince anyone with a brain. It's just supposed to give people who support him already another reason to support him.

"9/11 was a classic terrorist attack because it targeted civilians and was carried out by a non state actor."
So when a nation state kills people it is not terrorism? If that is the case then Russia killing people in Ukraine is not terrorism. Only those that fight their occupations are terrorists.
Under Obama 90% of people killed in his drone strikes were civilians. Since he knew that and continued killing innocent civilians does that make him a terrorist? Was the bombing of Dresden a terrorist act? The British and Americans targeted civilians. Right?
Ukraine engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Burning people alive is not terrorism? Many of those who attacked and burned the building wore swastikas and other fascist insignias. You are defending Fascists.

No, but a "special military operation" might be.
@woofwoof saidWhat do they call those, military interventions?
"Is war terrorism?

Isn't that what they call wars nowadays?
The war against Libya is called an intervention. There are euphemisms for war too. Doesn't Russia call it's war with Ukraine an intervention?
@metal-brain saidYeah? So?

@metal-brain saidI’m sure it’s surreally true that states excuse themselves from the label of terrorist simply by virtue of the fact that they are states.

Ukraine accuses Russia of being a terrorist state because of its constant targeting of civilians and their infrastructure such as municipal facilities like water and power, given the strategic value of this bridge for resupplying Putin’s occupation forces it doesn’t really fall into the category of civilian infrastructure so as usual your pal Putin is spewing nonsensical lies whilst laughing up his sleeve.
It’s what he does.

That is the euphemism for brutally killing people.
Fallujah and Sirte are examples of terrorism then, unless nations killing civilians is not terrorism. Dresden was a good example of how the USA and UK deliberately targeted civilians to wear down the people's support for the war, right? Why shouldn't Russia use the same brutal tactic? Because it is a violation of international law? LOL! Nobody respects international law. You know it too. The USA doesn't respect international law, so why should anybody else?
