Donald Trump described Russia’s double ballistic missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy that killed 35 and wounded 117 as a “mistake” by the Russians.
But it’s no such thing.
The Sunday attack on Sumy, like the April 4 strike on Kryvyi Rih, where a Russian ballistic missile filled with cluster munitions killed 20 people and wounded 80, is actually part of a Russian military strategy. The aim is to terrorize the civilian population and turn them against the Ukrainian military and government, forcing them to sue for peace with Moscow.
How would that be a mistake? What’s he gonna say next, Hitler just made a mistake too? He thought the Zyklon B were Vitamins? But what’s his excuse for when he inevitably starts gassing too, he also thought it was vitamins?
