Explosions were reported in at least three Ukrainian cities Friday as authorities said Russia launched a "major missile attack" on energy facilities and infrastructure.

It’s one thing to fall for the relentless fake news that Ukraine is “winning”. It’s entirely another thing to actually *want* the fake news to be true.

This could have and should have been avoided. Take the US out of the equation and none of it happens.

This is what bothers me.

” explosions were reported in the capital of Kyiv, southern Kryvyi Rih and northeastern Kharkiv.”

Translation for those who have read history for decades and know places in relation to WWII battles:

Explosions were reported in the capital of Kiev, southern Krivoy Rog and northeastern Kharkov.

I'm wondering when Ukraine will be out of Ukrainians?

Haven’t you heard? Russia is losing, as proven by all the Ukrainians shivering in the dark while the fighting rages on deep within Ukrainian borders. Kind of like how the Taliban was losing right up until people started falling out of the wheel wells of US transports fleeing Kabul. You can always count on mainstream news media pointing you towards the truth - if you just assume it is the opposite direction of what they say.

Blasting idiot Ukes is fun. They could have ended this before it started, or within the first two weeks. But they insist on being allowed to be nazi and conduct ethnic cleansing.

Yeah, why didn’t those silly Ukrainians just roll over and surrender their country?

The stupid runs deep with most on this thread.

The Russians have the easy part. Electrical distribution is the Achilles Heel of every moderately developed and above country. Keep the power off and your wanted buffer zone depopulates itself. Why bother to invade and occupy unless you need the space?

That is true.

The risk to the Uni Polar Banking and World Reserve Currency for the Projection of Arrogance was also not worth it.

It wasn’t their country. Donestk and Lugansk opted out of the coup so the nazi militias were sent east to attack them. Eventually after 8 years of artillery and as the Uke army was massing for an attack, they declared independence.
The coup killed the nation of Ukraine.
Everyone else has the same perfect right to grab what they can by force.
Seizing a capitol by force doesn’t mean you inherit all they had. Everyone else has the same right to grab what they can defend by force also.

Try to keep up.

40 weeks into Putin's invasion of Ukraine, with the russians losing half the territory they previously occupied. According to you, that's winning, Okay
