Ukraine readies for cold, dangerous chapter in Russian war
The hill ^ | 11/20/2022 | Laura Kelly

Snowfall across Ukraine is signaling the official arrival of winter, setting up a dangerous chapter in the war with Russia as Moscow targets Ukraine’s power and energy supplies to deprive the country of heat and electricity.

Anna Grigolaya, the operations manager in the city of Dnipro for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), said the situation will be critical for millions of Ukrainians suffering through more regular and sustained blackouts.

Hmmm. Latinos don’t want to be a part of Mexico, but Crimeans want to be a part of Ukraine... ROLFMAO! Your logic is just ridiculous.

The people of Ukraine have no say when this conflict ends. So many have left th country others planning to. he few who return end up leaving again. Winter there I suspect many more will leave.

The people who have a say when the war in Ukraine ends are barrack obama, the Biden family, George Soros, NATO leaders,Politicians profiting from it in the U.S.

These say "End It" the fighting stops immediately. They say"Keep fighting" The fighting continues indefinitely. Or as long as the printing presses at Fort Knox keep printing money. Expect it to go on. Too many people are making too much dirty money. And there is no other source of dirty money for the politicians in sight.

“Please stop. You’re very angry tonight.”

I’m not at all angry. And you’re still an ignorant bigot and xenophobe, as evidenced by your post about refusing to talk with “foreigners.”

Own up to it, Sparky. You see, once you hit the “send” button on a comment, it is there forever.

Lindsey Graham said "2017 would be the year of offense."   "All of us will go back to Washington to push the case against Russia."   He said our fight is not against the Russian people it is a fight against Putin.   Senator Amy Klobuchar was with them.   They clearly intended to prosecute the war into Russia to overthrow President Putin and still do.   They have to overthrow President Putin because he stands in the way of The Great Reset of the WEF with of the goal of "you will own nothing and be happy" —— Klaus Schwab.

On the 24th of February this year, President Putin announced a "special military operation" in the Ukraine.   How can three United States Senators be claiming, on the ground in Ukraine with a foreign head of state, in December of 2016 an offensive against Russia to start in 2017?   That is elite American swamp dwellers fomenting war.   That is a treasonous act.

How can anyone support this crime?

Somebody must have dumped catnip in his Purina dog chow.

“So, criticize my comments...using logic, not emotion. I look forward to it.”

Go ahead, hold your breath. Your repetitive comments are inane and arguing with the likes of you is a waste of time. You are a waste of time and that’s why you and your selfish double-talk will be ignored in the eyes of the world. This is a good thing.

Latinos DONT want to be in Mexico. Fact. They want to be in the USA. Another fact.

Lots of Russians want to be in the EU. Another fact. They move there in large numbers. I had a bunch of contractors out of Germany who were... Russian.

“You first made the allegation it was Yanukovych - you should support your argument, and then I’ll retort after I see your evidence, sparky.”

Here ya go, Sparky. I was off a month (I thought the shootings began in late December, 2013; but they began in January, 2014; the crackdown on the protestors began at the end of November, 2013 and the beginning of December, 2013).

Put the following in your search engine:

ukraine protesters shot january 2014
ukraine protesters shot february 2014

There are several links, depending on your search engine.

Do a search on Google and you get deep-state, DC-approved and audited sources for the first 2 pages.

You brought up Latinos and Mexico, A. I clarified a rather silly misconception.
B., you claimed that Russian speakers had no reason to prefer living in Ukraine. A Ukraine in the EU, with a Russian speaking population, would be a vastly attractive place to many Russians. And highly subversive to the oligarchic, kleptocratic Russia as it exists today.

This all really started when the Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted to join the EU.

Are you originally from a banana republic? I hear this argument quite often since 2004, more so since 2014 and Ukraine is still not in the EU and getting worse after every year. BTW, Romanians who want to annex Moldova often use the same argument.
Allegedly, being a citizen of a failed state is nice, as long as its passport is accepted for free travel in Europe.
For any person who have a slight idea of patriotism and common dignity it is rather weird. They aren’t going to fight for a country where the single advantage is the ability to leave the hell hole for good.

I am Spanish. Spain grows bananas in the Canary Islands, so you decide. We lived as expats in the Philippines, and we’ve been all over Asia.

Between one thing and another I’ve seen a lot.

Yeah, the EU is a massive draw for a country that is desperate to escape its economic traps. It’s a legitimate and logical desire. All of Eastern Europe saw massive improvements since escaping the dead grip of Russia. Why shouldn’t Ukraine aspire to the same? And the EU has already promised Ukraine expedited entry postwar.

I see, a semi-African in a sense. The role of Spain in the EU is well-known. How long is it going to last by adding more and more deadbeats like Spain and worse whose only goal is to escape their hell holes? There are only so many other people’s money to support it and they are running out. Some in Ukraine might aspire joining a rotten EUSSR, other don’t. The Russians are obviously too proud for it. They’d rather build their own country into a desirable place than ruin it for the benefit of globalists to become second class elsewhere.
