    These random building attacks feel like a red flag operation. They don’t serve a military objective, they do more to mobilize the population. I just don’t see Ukraine targeting random buildings in Moscow downtown. If they’re going to go that close. They’re going to hit something military

      they do more to mobilize the population.

      Mobilize the population?

      Most of the population doesn’t give a fuck about their country invading Ukraine because they have their heads comfortably in the sand. Those who aren’t ignoring it, either already fully support it or are fully against it.

      “This is affecting me now. I don’t like it” is the more likely response you’d see from the majority. They just want things to be how they were, and them going to the front is the exact opposite of it.

      This “it could anger and provoke the Russians” rhetoric is not rooted in reality.

      They can’t strike military targets, they are too well defended. So they resort to terror strikes. They’ve been doing it each time there was a collosal military failure by Ukraine. Kiev regime is a terrorist one.
