Bodies litter Ukrainian town's street
of death

Original Article

Posted By: FormerDem, 4/3/2022 10:48:22 AM

The bodies are strewn across the quiet tree-lined street in the town of Bucha as far as the eye can see. All 20 are in civilian clothing, and all have their different poses in death. Some lie with sightless eyes staring at Ukraine's overcast sky, some lie face down on the tarmac. Three of them are tangled up in bicycles after taking their final ride, while others, with waxy skin, have fallen next to bullet-ridden and crushed cars. One has his hands tied behind his back with a white cloth, and his Ukrainian passport left open beside his corpse, said AFP journalists who accessed the town. CORRECTION*

Comments:

Agence France Presse is reporting on what they saw, the bodies, they counted and photographed. They took pictures and interviewed the mayor.

Who knows what's true. There are also reports of the Ukrainian Nazi nationalists preventing people from escaping the country. Perhaps that's what this scenario represents. Who knows. It's not our war.

I am appalled at the ugly, cavalier attitudes of posters towards deaths of innocents. I suspect that if they had been around in 1940s, and told about the Jews being gassed in the death camps they'd say something like "Fake news". I just got an email this morning from a former colleague, and engineer, the mother of a family that visited us in the USA about 7 or 8 years ago. Their daughter had evacuated Kiev to a village in the countryside hundreds of miles away to the west. Now the mother has left Russia, where she was visiting a family member, and the daughter has escaped to Poland, and then on to Germany. Mother and daughter are now in Germany, trying to figure out what is next for them. The daughter was in college in Kiev, now trying to get back to her studies online, and the mother is trying to decide if she must get a job to support them. But at least they are now safe. She says her parents haven't been near the fighting, although the airport about a mile away from their home was bombed early on, and they have seen cruise missiles going over - similar to the buzz bombs the Nazis sent against Britain in WW2. Apparently both missiles were shot down, according to the parents. The mother tells me "I need some time to renew my brain and accept this situation." and that they still hope to return to Ukraine one day. I wonder if that is a realistic idea, but it is theirs to choose, if events make it possible. I have read for decades of all the horrors of war in Europe, and all the trials and terrible things that refugees lived through. I thought that was in the past, but not so. Putin has brought it to Ukraine, just like Hitler brought it to much of Europe.

I think a lot of us here have learned to not be influenced by the media. Kind of a reverse Pavlov’s dogs. They really want us to hate Putin. So we don’t hate him and are skeptical of these war stories. President Trump told us Zelensky is corrupts and he’s rarely wrong. So don’t be too harsh on us skeptics, it will be years before the truth of this gets out.

#1 and #7, these aren't fake. Get a grip. Spend 10 minutes on Google and you'll find dozens of different reports from different news agencies and other sources showing dead civilians with their hands tied behind their backs, shot and dumped into wells, shot and buried in sand pits, or burnt and run over by Russian tanks.

Both this story and the one posted below it are written by "staff", which I generally interpret as a "tell" for propaganda. I am not denying these people were murdered, or that the people of Ukraine are suffering. I am just not confident in the news sources, nor do I have a knee-jerk reaction that it was done by the Russian forces. Zelenski has accepted the Azov Battalion into the regular Ukrainian Army, and they are modern Nazi's with a bloody history in the Dumbass region . I feel for the Ukrainian people because their corrupt government precipitated this war, just as our corrupt government is orchestrating the downfall of our nation. I cannot suddenly believe the mainstream enemedia just because there is a war being fought against a peaceful populace. Everything they report I take with a pound of salt. If they want me to hate Putin and Russia, I'm inclined to support them. Just sayin'.

#14 " If they want me to hate Putin and Russia, I'm inclined to support them." Oh, so you're inclined to support a dictator who suppresses his population, poisons his political opponents, invades a peaceful country, flattens city blocks and kills thousands of civilians, and causes about *four million* refugees have fled their county ahead of a Russian army that rapes and kills civilians. Or are those four million refugees also fake? But you're inclined to support Putin. What a sad pathetic person you must be.

I saw a video week before last where Ukrainians (not sure if they were the Azov ___) were torturing their own people. Tying them to a pole or tree, wrapping their arms and body with saran wrap so they couldn't move, dropping their pants and beating them on the buttocks. One picture was of a father and son on the same pole. Who know who to believe any more. And this is not our war. Even though we seem to be paying for it.

An AFP news agency reporter in Bucha, near Kyiv, counted at least 20 bodies. At least one man had his hands tied. BBC journalists in another part of Ukraine found the bodies of two civilians killed by Russian forces.
