One of the targets was the headquarters of the SBU, the notorious CIA-allied 'intelligence' service that killed one of the non-country's own negotiators in the streets of Kiev.
My question is: why on earth was the SBU not targeted on Day 1?
It's really weird how Russia has handled this war like they don't have to actually fight a serious war from the beginning. Maybe they just didn't expect the US to turn it into a battle where the only two possible outcomes are the complete annihilation of Ukraine or the entire Russian government being deposed.
They hit the street (and random civilians in cars) and not the building, and the other thing you said also didn't happen.
This is the scene: https://twitter.com/KyivIndependent/status/1579406437813751809 (possibly this missile had been shot down, as in this very rare incident of civilian casualties in Donetsk city that you are still hyperventilating about so much for over half year continuosly - they shot down slightly over half of all Russian cruise missiles and Iranian drones from the barrage)
Why do you just continue to believe the Russian lies?

What I want to know is why they think that they will be considered to be anything other than an embarrassment in the future. People who are taking Russia's side here will be looked back on like the French screaming "Why die for Danzig?". I have even started seeing some saying that if China moves on Taiwan, we need to just roll over and let them take it (instead of, you know, lighting them the fuck up and showing them the error of their ways).
They pretend that Putin is some based warrior standing against the Woke, when in reality he is a thug who cucked Russia to the ChiComs, is using the hardcore Islamic Chechens as his personal kill squad to keep people in line, and is looking to reestablish the Soviet Empire, even if he has to kill all of the former states of the empire to pull it off.
Russia has been our enemy for much longer than now. I say, Kill'em All!
It would save them I guess…for a few months. Then he would demand Alsace-Lorraine as “Historic German Territory.” And then he would whip up a reason to invade and ruin them. After all, these are the people who humiliated them. Where do you think that will go?
The only way you stop Hitler and the Nazis? Sometimes, its as simple as shooting them in the face. And if someone else who hates them just as much can pull the trigger? All the better.
Because Russia didn't think it needed to. The russian leadership thought they'd win a quick victory. After they bogged down in March, they started firing a lot of cruise missiles, but it was too late as UKR targets had dispersed and the fixed targets were empty. The fact that the UKR air force wasn't destroyed on the ground is all you need to know about how utterly incompetent Russia was and is.
Russia is also fighting a propaganda war, and knows that the more it goes after cities and civilians, the more Ukraine can use this to appeal for more and more aid and get more and more attention from Western media. Russia's game plan has been to hope that the West gets bored of Ukraine and moves on.
The fact that UKR successfully took out the very expensive Kerch bridge caused Putin to tilt, and he violated his own strategy to order petty reprisal attacks on civilian areas, which is causing a huge propaganda coup in favor of Ukraine and against Russia this morning. The Western media and politicians are lit up and invigorated by the fresh Russian attacks on civilians.
That makes little sense. Even if I think that I "don't need to" do something, I'm still going to do it. You always have Plan B, especially if your Plan A is a highly unlikely to succeed coup de main.

You and others keep repeating this, but I don't think you can read minds.

How ironic that you cheer a LR attack on a civilian target, which killed civilians, while complaining about Russia allegedly doing that.

As if. Propaganda doesn't win you the war. Most brain-dead NPCs made up their minds in the first day or so.

"Because we are too nice to fight seriously" or "we fight using anime rules where we purposely fight using a lower power level, then, when we lose, we "get serious" and unlock our full power level" makes a lot less sense than simple arrogance.
You and others keep repeating this, but I don't think you can read minds.
I can use logical deduction based on circumstantial evidence from their words and actions. In addition, the Russian military establishment has made statements that they intended to inflict a systemic collapse on the Ukrainian defense immediately before it could organize itself. This logic was used to defend the initial strategy.

I don't know what LR means here. However, the Kerch bridge was in no way a "civilian target". It is a vital piece of Russian military infrastructure used to supply the Russian occupation of Crimea.
The fact that one or two civilian cars were in the blast radius is an unfortunate reality of war. The same would be true if a car happened to be nearby when HIMARS strikes hit the Antonivka Bridge. The big difference is that those civilian deaths were an unintended consequence of a strike on a strategic target, whereas with the Russian reprisals, the civilian deaths were the object and purpose of the strikes.
As if. Propaganda doesn't win you the war. Most brain-dead NPCs made up their minds in the first day or so.
It's highly likely that Putin's little tantrum will result in additional sanctions and/or military aid to Ukraine as a direct response. That's a meaningful self-own.

There's being arrogant and there's being stupid. Surely, the Russian high command is smarter than a "Reddit moderator", since you assured me that I am very stupid for being one (in the past)?

It just so happens that this 'logical deduction' is the same thing that everyone else is also claiming without evidence. Interesting.
In addition, the Russian military establishment has made statements that they intended to inflict a systemic collapse on the Ukrainian defense immediately before it could organize itself. This logic was used to defend the initial strategy.
But then the 'arrogance' card does not make sense. You would bomb barracks full of soldiers if you wanted such a systemic collapse.

Alright, so every single bridge in Little Russia is now fair game.
The same would be true if a car happened to be nearby when HIMARS strikes hit the Antonivka Bridge.
That would be awful. That might slightly damage the suspension!

More mind-reading? I just read, no idea if true, that 40 missiles hit with 11 civilian casualties.
Also, what strategic target is there in the center of Donetsk which is pelted with cluster munitions by Ukraine? C'mon, stop being a shill. I condemned the destruction of Mariupol, and you can act like an adult as well.
It's highly likely that Putin's little tantrum will result in additional sanctions and/or military aid to Ukraine as a direct response. That's a meaningful self-own.
More sanctions? Great, so more Germans will freeze and starve?
You are smart enough to know that the pieces of shit in charges of Europe and America don't care one bit about "civilian casualties".
Btw, Ant believed a lie (either they missed the SBU office or the missile was just shot down, it fell on a street nearby and killed only 5 random people in their cars at an intersection).
Another one hit a playground further down.
But I don't think it all even matters as they keep just leveling entire villages and towns elsewhere (currently mostly in the Bakhmut direction where the Wagner conscripted criminals are continuously thrown in frontal attack) and a few more missiles hitting this or that is but a distraction.

there is not a square inch of ukrainian soil worth global nuclear war.
Uhhh, the 'why die for danzig?' frenchies could've prevented the Nazi occupation, France declared war on Germany, not the other way around.

Not just Crimea, but the Southern Front. The route west from Donetsk is under the HIMARS fire from the north.
