Is the destruction of critical infrastructure

Of course that would be our doctrine. But what happens when it butts up against tactical considerations? If a bridge allows for the transport of food and heating oil and the transport of troops and munitions, I'm not liking the bridge's chances.



No, there's no comparison. But the whole discussion around "war crimes" is absurdist in the extreme.
Of course, the bridge is a legitimate target.

You are a good company man, Hello/Goodbye, thus any presentation of historical events reflecting poorly upon your bosses, results in a 'when did you stop beating your wife?' type questions.

It was in no way an accident.
Congressional testimony by CIA warlord George Tenet testifies the mission was "the only one coordinated by the C_A in the bombing assault"

The coordinates were entered into the bombs At Whitman AFB in Missouri.

Were they verified multiple times by the AF? apparently not?

Oh Sorry!
What the heck does this "company man" crap mean? I don't understand your conspiratorial mind.

Link the testimony. What he testified to was incorrect coordinates, not that it was a deliberate attack on the Chinese embassy. They intended to target a legitimate Yugoslavian military facility. Also, explain what we could possibly gain by deliberately targeting a Chinese embasssy. The answer is NOTHING was to be gained by it. It's stupid.

You are career military.
I believe a while back you mentioned some post-active duty involvement; training or some such? If I'm wrong on that piece I'm wrong.
What I'm not wrong about is that you always, reflexively discount any critique of the Leviathan. You have the canned reply mastered.
Even WIKI exposes the lie.
Tenet claimed they used 'incorrect maps' and that
'Sat photos showed no indication the target was an Embassy;no flags, no seals, no clear markings".
Pure lies.
The Observer/Politican investigation showed the Embassy was on NATO's no hit list, and the address was listed on NATO computers.

Aloha was career military and he is right that it was an accident during the fog of war. The wiki doesn't expose a lie about it and it supports that it was an accident. Aloha asked what benefit did NATO get by bombing the Chinese embassy?

I'm an Air Force intelligence officer does that disqualify me too? It was an accident.

It was NOT a NATO mission, it was the ONLY mission run by the CIA in that conflict.
As stated in numerous sources, all missions were not collaborative. The US ran a number of missions without NATO. As the previously noted article states, the correct coordinates for the Chinese Embassy were on NATO'S 'no hit' list and also on NATO computers. Tenet lied through his teeth, on one hand, his sat. showed no outward appearance of being an embassy, (a lie)yet targeting depended upon agents 'drawing parallel lines on maps to establish it's location' by address.
There's no God Damned reason to lie continuously about almost everything.
This country is sick of it.
We're going to put a stop to it.

The operation was a NATO operation but the US did some sorties that were parallel to the operation. That doesn't change anything and was approved by the chain of command. You claim Tenet and everyone else is lying when they say it was an accident but you provide no evidence that it was anything other than an accident. You're screaming about a conspiracy theory you read on some dumbass website. What benefit did the US get from bombing the Chinese Embassy? The obvious answer is none but your dumbass website might have some really kooky explanation on why we would do it. It was an accident.

How are you going to put a stop to the so called lies?
 
Russia was exercising some restraint earlier. Punishing brother Orthodox Slav civilians was not the aim. Russia wanted very much to get a look inside the dozen or so biolabs in Ukr. and reduce the NATO,(USA) war machine that was 8 years in the making. The main live fire training was directed towards Donbas, majority Russian-speaking Ukr. citizens. These civilians were slaughtered by predominantly USA-provided munitions, training and technology.

As of today, Ukraine has no air support other than drones. Most of Ukraine has no electricity, fuel (diverted to the war machine) or potable water. A satellite photo of nighttime Ukraine looks identical to one of North Korea. Russia did not sabotage the Nordstream pipelines. It was in their interest to allow Germany to find accommodation to somewhat ameliorate Europe's energy problem. The USA destroyed the pipeline, which took away any chance of Germany's economy being somewhat protected. Germany was the economic engine of the EU.
Not any more.

When the ground freezes in the next few weeks, Russia will come across the border in force; I have read estimated troop strength of the force at 300 to 700 thousand personnel.

Ukraine is committing suicide, and the USA is providing the rope.
Come across the border where? Into the teeth of Ukraine's HIMAR defense?

Good luck with that.

Where are they going to find 700,000 more troops?

Except, evidently, 90% of Ukraine.
Are you really this ****ing dumb?
 
Wait a sec. Did UncleMark and DANC just agree on something?

Wow. I'll have to check my notes as to whether that is the second or third of the four horsemen signs.
