Lights Go Out in Ukraine as Russia Launches 'Massive' Strike
Newsmax ^ | October 22, 2022

Hundreds of thousands of people in central and western Ukraine woke up on Saturday to power outages and periodic bursts of gunfire, as Ukrainian air defense tried to shoot down drones and incoming missiles.

Russia has intensified its strikes on power stations, water supply systems and other key infrastructure across the country, the latest phase of the war as it nears the eight-month mark.

Ukraine's air force said in a statement Saturday that Russia had launched “a massive missile attack" targeting “critical infrastructure,” hours after air raid sirens blared across the country. It said that it had downed 18 out of 33 cruise missiles launched from air and sea.

You should go to Ukraine, take point, and answer the question for yourself, then come back and tell us.

I think the Ukrainians get the message blackouts will be ongoing now.

Too bad that when they forwarded it to Biden, the answer the Ukrainians got was "FU, where's my 10%".

What were the grounds for Putin to liberate a couple of UKR city-states bordering Russia?

Putin gave chapter and verse on conditions and history causing Russia to answer all Live and ongoing events.

Obviously, many inquiring minds around here did not inquire.

No country disputed Putin on that history nor the existant entrenchments.

We’re Americans! By tradition, propaganda comes here to die. Is it too much to ask, to hear Putin’s first world speech before commencing a small op, with only Militia? Come on.

>>>It is Ukraine who fired at themselves.

This is all a provocation.

Russia ran out of rockets, missiles, etc. back in March....<<<

ikr!

80% of the ppl here on FR gleefully joke how Russia is losing and Ukraine is winning. This is obvious FAKE NEWS. Russia 1) doesn’t have missiles. 2) if it does they suck with a circular error probability of like 300 meters, because you know 30 years after the gulf war, russia can’t figure out how to buy integrated circuits and link them to Glonass

/sarcasm off

I figured the Nazis were working to force Russia to cooperate, I didn't figure the Russians would give the "win" to the EnviroNazis!

There ya’ go, with the truth again. Everyone else seems to know about that profession, but for the American public and hanging around on FR.

Rebutting the Frenchman is out of the question.

No thanks. I’ll just sit in my armchair here in Florida and watch thousands of Russian serfs die in the mud of Ukraine. All for nothing.

“We are seeing more Europeans and Westerners openly speaking out about the United States.”

After Europeans have had some time to think, and talk, about the harm and misery put upon them by the destroyers of those pipelines they are going to be very angry.

At this point the story that has to be concocted is not how the Russians, inexplicably, would destroy their own pipes under the watchful eye of NATO, but how the Americans did not.

Before this is over, the US govt. is going to get kicked out of Europe by popular demand. It is not a reliable partner and should not and will not be trusted by anyone.

What's the big deal? This what Klaus Schwab has in mind for us.

SOLOVIEV (forwarded from banksta)

Cambridge University: conflict in Ukraine has accelerated the split of the world into two civilizations. According to the results of the study, of the 1.2 billion inhabitants of countries with a democratic form of government, 75% currently express a negative attitude towards China and 87% towards Russia.

However, among the 6.3 billion people in the rest of the world, the picture is reversed - 70% of the population has a positive attitude towards China and 66% supports Russia. @banksta
