After all we have seen from the Russian regime, it is still shocking to see their callousness.

    Those prominent musicians who continue to sing and play there as if nothing has happened and nothing is happening, receiving RU state money (there is only one source of finding for culture there) – they are acquiescing to all those atrocities and crimes. And yet they effortlessly move between engagements in various distinguished venues in Russia and abroad. Examples and names are plentiful, the hypocrisy of theaters in Italy, Germany, Austria and others feels nothing short of disgusting.

    ” We’ll destroy it…Then we’ll rebuild it.”

  • Zarathusa says:

    Only a total a**hole would say something like that!!!

  • Minnesota says:

    Just hideous.

  • Zarathusa says:

    What Ukraine needs to do is “arrange” a surprise “slice-and-dice drone-attack” on Putin like the Americans did to Zawahiri on that balcony in Kabul! In the meantime, why not just bomb the heck out of Putin’s “secret” Palace on the Black Sea? Gotta do something BIG, right?

    • Max Raimi says:

      It is highly unlikely that if this was done Putin’s successor would be an improvement. Putin would become a martyr uniting the country in a desire for vengeance.

      • Tom Phillips says:

        True its impossible to overestimate the sheer barbarism of ANY Russian leader (and their worshipful followers).

  • william osborne says:

    War becomes great sport when the enemy can be bombed and they can’t respond in kind. The world sees this frequently in various countries. The translated subtitles say they will “destroy Odessa, or at least the harbor area.” They then add, “I know we have to keep the opera house.” This, apparently, to show that they are cultured and civilized. This barbarism is only going to get worse.
