Sounds like Nazi propaganda from Berlin.

The issue apparently drew the attention of Russian President Vladimir Putin — he ordered Vorobyov to nationalize the heating facility.

Yeah, because the State owning everything worked so well during the USSR days. In fact a lot of the problems with Russia's heating infrastructure can be tracked back to those days.

Putin -- like our Demscum -- simply cannot resist taking advantage of a crisis to increase government power.

Russia’s home heating systems must run on eggs.

“Why are many Russians freezing in their homes this winter?”

Because they’re about 2 more years (of democrats in charge) ahead of the U.S.

A comment on a YT video about this general topic may be on to something.

The commenter said the power outages in Crimea could be attributed to the maintenance workers being conscripted for the Russia/Ukraine war. The maintenance isn’t being performed because it requires people skilled in working on Soviet-era equipment.

Maybe the Russians can get some old men to come out of retirement to perform this work.

This recent US artic blast has been attributed as the cause of 15 deaths here. And, yes, WE don’t like it.

“They decided to freeze out Europe, but that didn’t work. Then they decided to freeze their own to intimidate others,”

News to me! I guess they blew up their own gas pipeline to Europe eh?

Our border is being overrun with terrorists, criminals, bringing God only knows what diseases with them, and law abiding people here can’t afford food, rent, gas, etc., and you’re worried about Russia, Russia, Russia? Anybody with half-a-brain wouldn’t give a crap about the corrupt countries of Russia or Ukraine. They’d be more worried about how their government is destroying the economy of the country they are living in, by sending billions of unaccounted-for money to fund another proxy war with Russia.

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.

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.”

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.
