Ukraine-Lights Out, No Water And Soon No Heat
Moon of Alabama ^ | 11/23/2022 | Moon of Alabama

Posted on 11/23/2022 7:25:01 PM PST by Nextrush

Earlier today the Russian military shut down the Ukrainian electricity network.

Previous attacks had limited the distribution capacity to some 50% of demand. Controlled blackouts over several hours per day allowed to give electricity for a few hours to most parts of the country. The attack today created a much larger problem. Not only were distribution networks attacked but also the elements that connect Ukraine's electricity production facilities to the distribution network. All four nuclear power stations of Ukraine with their 15 reactors are now in shutdown mode.

Kiev along with most other cities of Ukraine no longer has electricity.

Moldova is likewise affected as it received some 20% of its electricity from Ukraine. When the Ukrainian network shut down the only local thermal power plant shut down too. It is likely that it can be switched on again but that can be a complicated process.

Limited electricity imports from the European system into Ukraine may still be possible but that electricity would only be available in Ukraine's western cities...

Stop being an idiot.

Biden invited this war to keep the Maytag running and take out Russia in one swoop.

He could care less about the people of Ukraine.

Now the Maytag repairman has filed bankruptcy.

He gets to now address spending billions on a non-NATO confrontation.

I will gather you were pro-Vietnam as well.

Imagine freaking out over 50 billion in military equipment being used to destroy Russia's military--its very purpose in life-- when Trump spent over a trillion on Covid checks.

So, can you explain how this tactic is actually going to work or is proof of Russia winning in some logical way?

You cannot be this dumb. I'm starting to think you're actually with the Russians - trying make Uke harpies look as utterly moronic as possible.

CLUE: The country with no energy that's getting rained on by missiles after relinquishing vast amounts of strategic real estate is:

LOSING

You should understand losing. It's what you and your silly trolls are doing here and now on Free Repuvlic. It's likely what you do in life.

Losing is what the Uke sewer is doing for the US and Europe.

CLUE: The country

You mean Kyiv. Not even the Russians claim they've shut down power across the whole country. This is aimed at the capital and a few other cities.

with no energy that's getting rained on by missiles after relinquishing vast amounts of strategic real estate is:

Kyiv's power will be back on in 24 hours (some say it is already). Meanwhile, Ukraine has taken back 50% of its territory since July, and no Russian "great offensive" that they keep promising has materialized. We just see more videos of dead Russkies on the battlefield, more dead Russian officers and generals, while Russia is reduced to targeting the civilian population in hopes of forcing negotiations.

That didn't work for the Germans in WW2, it won't work against Ukraine, no matter how much you wish it.

You’re right, the total cost was 2.3 trillion:

You do not seem to understand the discussion.

We have no business there outside of the Maytag man.

Joe Biden is killing Ukraine.
(along with his sycophants of course)

Russia has explicitly said they will have no part of the NWO.

Well, if to be believed at least it wasn’t wasted on the Maytag machine and destroying the Ukraine.

“Show where people are celebrating Ukrainians freezing”

Well, if the usual triumphant posts and mocking in this thread are mild to your tastes, we could just randomly sample the last time “Ukraine is without power!”, where they went a little more hardcore with the memes and laughter:

Russia has explicitly said they will have no part of the NWO.

Russia is a criminal, terror regime where systematic gang rape in the military of young male conscripts, theft and corruption and murder are normal at every level of society (and I can prove that and have proven it many times). It is not "Christian." Only 7% of the population even attend church.

They are not the "good guys" in your NWO conspiracy theory. They are not fighting the reptilians in the royal family of England, nor are they finally cracking down on the Jews you may believe run international finance and the world. They are gang raping little boys and girls in Ukraine and have been threatening to do the same to the rest of the western world for decades--you just weren't paying attention.

All of the above is in your head. In the real world, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, and the Latin Marxist countries, are part of an axis of evil hell bent on destroying the USA and the West.

That's simply a fact. They tell us so, and certain Putinists on this forum even celebrate the idea of these countries destroying the USA and establishing a so-called "multipolar world".

So, if China decides to take over a non-NATO nation we are all in?

I’m sure we have switched to an LG machine by then.

I do not want any part of the USA to be harmed.

I want the USA to respect the foundation of liberty from tyranny.

I want the government to respect my right to live my life.
Take my tariff and protect my border.

Respect my right to defend the government or not.

It’s not hard.

BTW that is all found in the founding documents of our great nation.

I’ll let you figure out the rest.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you signalling that you will shill for China when/if they invade and rape Taiwan?

If so, there's not much "American" about you, even if you post about the constitution and how much it matters to you.

I’m not going to send your family over there to get killed.

If Taiwan is not a part of NATO it is probably due to the fact they are not in the North Atlantic region.

There does seem to be a pact of some sort but again we are not the world police.
