Why are many Russians freezing in their homes this winter?
DW ^ | 18 Jan 2024 | Darko Janjevic

Posted on 01/19/2024 9:55:42 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

The wave of breakdowns started in December and shows no sign of stopping. This week, at least 16 people suffered burns in the city of Nizhny Novgorod when a large-bore heating pipe exploded, spouting boiling water into the street.

"They decided to freeze out Europe, but that didn't work. Then they decided to freeze their own to intimidate others,"

Why don’t you give a damn about the Americans who don’t have heat? I guarantee there are more homeless Americans than Russians. I live in rural Kentucky where American poverty is high. Why don’t you care about my neighbors? How about we concentrate our efforts and BILLIONS on American problems? Forget the globohomo lies and disinfo told to get you fired up about their globalist misadventures.

HELP! HELP! I’m being repressed!

Excellent use of the victim card but your choice to use it on this thread leads me to believe that that you are more pro-Russia than pro-America.

From your article.

“The delayed response could be due to the heating facility’s sensitive location — it is operating within an active ammunition factory. Such arrangements between military industry and civilian infrastructure were relatively common in the Soviet era.
The ammunition plant was privatized in 2001, and the current ownership structure has not been made public. However, unconfirmed reports in the Russian media indicate that the plant’s managers had first-rate connections at the very top of the Kremlin. The director of the plant, Igor Kushnikov, is a former colonel of the Russian FSB intelligence agency, according to media reports. In May 2023, he took over the plant management from Igor Rudyka — reportedly one of Putin’s former bodyguards.”

I think his point is that when we have a catastrophic failure of our leadership to do its job and people suffer because of it, we do something about it. And therefore so should the Russian people.

Believe as you will, Boryslav. I don’t really care what a Zeeper thinks. You all make that same tired, unfounded accusation. By the way, the owner of this site has asked you people to stop doing that.

I suggest you go and find all of those posts on here where I’m showing any support for Russia. Or at least a few of them. A couple of them, maybe? Back up your silly, overwrought accusations.

My beef is with the excessive propaganda. The daily onslaught of Ukraine-Russia BS.

And I will continue express my opinion as I see fit, regardless of how you and the Slavic Mafia weep. Deal with it. And have a nice day.

Useful.
Thank you.

About fifty years ago I took a class on this topic, all my veteran buddies recommended it, and the instructor was a helpful WWII vet.
Now that my interest in this topic returned, I do not recall much.

This is an interesting former career Army grunt, now a computer specialist/ Youtuber.

—”Igor Rudyka — reportedly one of Putin’s former bodyguards”

Some of the best all-around physical plant managers are former bodyguards.
No need for a PE or engineering degree, former bodyguards are the best.

Until it turns out they have sold off all the boiler water treatment, and rust has consumed the pipes.

You need to be MADE to care more about the problems of Americans that whatever weird fantasies you have about Russia.

You and your ilk don't represent rank-and-file Republicans or conservatives.

Is that todays order from your masters?

The real question is, who are your masters?

Most Americans don't give a damn about Russia and are sick of seeing money waste of failed proxy war in Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine isn't among the top ten most important issues in any voter poll. And, whatever is happening in Russia isn't the top most important issues.

Zeepers here have an agenda that isn't coming from the grassroots.

Oh, B.S. Half of our (US) problem is that too many people feed off the gov’t teats.
