What's with you copying my "Sparky" label for you, Sparky?
I guess you think I'm clever...

Too funny!
Your Post #38 is either a result of your inferior intellect, or it was a deliberate lie to advance your agenda.
So, which is it, Sparky?
I hear there's a lot of that on the Oryx threads.
You should go there, and hang with your intellectual peers..
“You need to lay off the neokoolaid, Sparky.”
Ridiculous crude comment directed at a much esteemed Freeper.
Not enough treats from your Goddess, Chrystia Freeland?
You're a sanctimonious hypocrite, Mumsy.
“publicly identified FR Navy Seal”
The vast majority of SEALs take the Quiet Professional thing very seriously.
Talking to YOU, Sparky. Unfortunately, you are one of those rare individuals who, whenever you talk, or post, you do not advance human knowledge; rather, you subtract from it.

Still with the insults to a veteran, anonymous chatbot?
We’re not angry at all. But YOU are.
Hell, we are amused by you. It’s like watching the agitations of non-sentient life forms as they react to stimuli, yet they have no capacity to understand why: They just react.
thumbs-up on that
You do you, Sparky. Carry on.
Nice try. I explained Sparky to you a long time ago; I guess you recognized yourself in that story, and have taken your namesake to heart. Are you still chasing after bicycle tires?
The targeting of 330 kilovolt transformers in various switching stations has cut some 50% of the distribution capability of Ukraine's electricity network. These transformers weigh up to 200 tons. There are no replacements. You do not buy them at the next corner but will have to order them with years of lead time. As far as I can tell Russia is currently the only producer of transformers of that type.

The lack of energy is degrading the railway network that brings weapons from the west to the eastern front. It makes redeployment of units from one front section to another very difficult and time consuming. It will give the Russian forces the advantage when they change the Schwerpunkt of their attacks from one corner of the frontline to another.
Another effect of the strikes on the electricity systems and the blackouts in the big cities that follow them is a renewed stream of refugees that will want reach western Europe. It will over time change the public opinion and the political priorities of those countries. If they fail to end the war they will have to carry the burden.
I was the first one to use "Sparky" as your nickname on this thread.
Now you're trotting out some BS story to try to minimize your poltroonery.
What a buffoon!
Not one leader in Europe can stand up his or her hind legs and call for an end to the sanctions war.
it was interesting hearing that the sanctions train has been hijacked from the purview of the UN.
I didn't know that.
“The vast majority of SEALs take the Quiet Professional thing very seriously.”
Yup.
Years ago I was the judge advocate of our local American Legion post. Thus, I had access to the records of all our post members (especially DD-214s).
We had some Navy vets who claimed to have been SEALs. Three of them in particular talked the game when they were in their cups. Blowhards. Their records did not support their claims.
Well, we did have a genuine SEAL in our post. He did not come in often, and when he did he’d have a beer and watch whatever was on TV, then leave.
One day he was in the post bar nursing his beer. These three jamokes were also there, talking their usual smack. Well, the REAL SEAL listened for a bit, ordered another beer, and simply and thoroughly exposed those three guys for the frauds they were. The three gulped down their beers and made their exit.
I have no idea if there are any SEALs on FR. I would not be surprised if there were.
Nice try, Sparky.
I’ll retell the story to see if it jogs your memory.
Let me tell you about Sparky.
Sparky was an annoying little ankle-biter; a real pissant.
Sparky was a Chihuahua; couldn’t have weighed more than three pounds.
I grew up in the 1950s and early 1960s. We were Baby Boomers. Every house in the neighborhood had kids. One of our neighbors had a Chihuahua named Sparky. Sparky would always sneak up behind us, snarling, and nip at our heels and ankles.
Sparky was usually let out in the front yard to take his little rat-sized craps.
One day Sparky met his fate. One of the kids in the neighborhood was riding his bike along the sidewalk in front of Sparky’s house. The kid had his bike all decked out with old playing cards attached to the frame by wooden clothes pins, such that they would be struck by the rotating spokes and make a high-pitched rumbling sound like a small engine. Well, Sparky went after the back tire of that bike and tried to nip it, but he caught his teeth in the spokes and in a flash he was smooshed between the wheel and the frame and the bicycle seat. Sic transit Sparky.
Anyway, about a month or two later, four of us kids (we were, I think, 12 at the time) got together behind the garage to smoke; one of the kids had copped a couple of his mom’s cigarettes. Well, we’re back there, sharing the smokes (there were two cigarettes and four of us, so we doubled up), and one of the kids’ little sister showed up. She must have been about 4 or 5 years old, a couple front teeth missing, and hair in dog-ear pigtails. She kind of whistle-hissed (missing front teeth, you know): “I’m gonna tell mom on you!” Well, one of us – not her brother – just looked at her and said, “Get lost, Sparky.”
And, it just evolved from there.
From that time on we called any whiny, bratty, sneaky, tattle-tale, Sparky. You know; any annoying little shit.
Not only are you a poltroon - you’re a foul-mouthed poltroon, Sparky.
“you’re a foul-mouthed poltroon.”
You should talk, Sparky.
