So, uhhh, the recent news about ruskies bombing a fucking kids hospital feels like a psyop to me. Usually I don't try to find a psyop in everything, but this shit glows.
So, according to residents of Mariupol, said hospital, (particularly the part of the building that was shelled) was under some renovation project and there were no patients. Idk, most hospitals still work when they are under construction.
Then, some people claimed that majority of patients were sent home on the first day of the invasion, so there were no civies when the site was shelled. Seems legit, since most hospitals did the same when war started. Still, they still take in emergency patients and pregnant women, so there is a chance that there were civilians in the hospital.
Also, there is a rumour that the hospital was taken by Ukrainian marine brigade (sorry, bros, it's not Azov this time), and they set up an HQ there. Hiding behind civilian infrastructure is something that a lot of armies would do, in my opinion. An asshole move? Yes, it's very cynical. Will it work? Probably yes, and even if the enemy attacks you, they will look like monsters.
This also seems to be true, since Russians released drone photos of Mariupol, and it seems that Ukies take civilian building to hold their positions.
There is also the fact that Z made a video mere hours after the shelling even though he rarely does so. Makes you think, huh?
Dunno if it's truly a psyop, but there is some holes in this story. And I'm still inclined to believe that Russians can bomb a fucking child hospital, with motherfucking children, babies and goddamn pregnant women inside. They are Ruskies, after all.
