Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Russian airstrikes on Kyiv Tuesday have left Ukraine's capital city without water for about 40% of its residents as Moscow continues to batter the country's infrastructure.

“War crimes”...lol.
It’s what happened - and you’re just a totally moronic POS for saying that.
“Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic look and learn.’ At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa.
THIRD AND MOST FEARFUL PERIL
“Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one. And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and ~ the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up.” “As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of the swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.” Where the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.”
HEAVEN INTERVENES
“Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shown the word UNION, and who bore our national flag in one hand, and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by, legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.” “Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.’ As the voice ceased the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.”
“Then once more, I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with the loud voice: “While the stars remain, and the heaven send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the UNION last.” And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word ‘UNION,’ he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said ‘Amen.”
THE INTERPRETATION
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I, at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, ‘Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted; Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful for her is the third. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land, and UNION” With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and the destiny of the United States.’”
Once power and water are cut, that will signal the end of the war.
So in your simple mind, one may only bomb military forces you directly face across from, but not the capitol, not transportation hubs, not things that tax the ability of the government to function.
It may be that way there in Mexico where you are, but it hasn’t been that way for a long time.
Also, the nazi artillery pounded the Donbass population centers for 8 years for the crime of opting out of the coup. It’s effective and legitimate. Hell, we even do it when we attack a country.
Boom boom, out go the lights.
And clearly hasn’t been anywhere like that as a grunt.
"Do not target enemy infrastructure (public works, commercial communication facilities, dams), Lines of Communication (roads, highways, tunnels, bridges, railways) and Economic Objects (commercial storage facilities, pipelines) unless necessary for self-defense or if ordered by your commander. If you must fire on these objects to engage a hostile force, disable and disrupt but avoid destruction of these objects, if possible."
It was the Gulf War... ignorant dung-pile. Despite the fact that you don’t know $**t, we TRASHED their entire infrastructure and burnt all their vehicles and equipment... mostly with them in it.
Instead of constantly embarrassing yourself here, use those trolly, grubby fingers of yours to jank some more globaloid shaft.
Stick to what you’re good at.
What was your ROE regarding civilian infrastructure?
You start off calling me a war criminal, then want a conversation?
I basically told you and the other Uke morons that in my first post - but you’re too busy trashing threads and the forum at large... over some SHITHOLE.
My ROE, verbatim, from my CO, directly from Schwartzkopf was “If it shoots, kill it. If it shoots from a building, kill the building.”
What is your military background?
Cause there is big difference between what some POGs put on paper and reality.
Washington’s Vision
“This work of fiction was published in 1861. Its author, Charles Wesley Alexander, published numerous allegorical stories featuring famous American figures. Unfortunately, many people have misunderstood the nature of the piece, and believe that it is a genuine interview with a real person, relating his personal recollections of serving with Washington at Valley Forge. It is not. It is a work of fiction created nearly a century after the winter at Valley Forge. For more information, click here.
**NOTE: This story is in the Public Domain and you do not need anyone’s permission to excerpt it. But please do not present the piece as anything other than a work of fiction published in the mid 19th century.”

Nice try deceiver.
Never offered it as an absolute.
But, you have proved to all on this forum that you are deceptive.
Don’t feel badly. I believe you didn’t intend to be deceptive.
Personal wisdom is gained by taking the time to stop to validate truth of your viewpoint. Just take the time to ponder truthfully “why” you still embrace previous personal conclusions.
No aspersion cast. That is actually the true value of this Free Republic site: to enable this re-evaluation process is important for each of us. We are provided the opportunity of topical evaluative evidence to support/ alter/ or magnify the truth for our viewpoint.

Blue Check, or whatever Musk discovered on twitter, must be available to some on this web site also.
Me too...
When does the true reporting start and the money grubbing begging for perpetual war-fighting and Marshal plan aftermath requirements stop?
