“I can’t understand why there is a single bridge, transmission line, pipeline, or dam across the Dnieper south of Kyiv.”

They can’t hit them with the weapons they have, or these weapons arent good tools for the job. Bridges are tough targets. Most Russian cruise missiles dont seem to have the precision. Dams also. Even the 1-ton warheads on cruise missiles aren’t going to hurt a dam very much, hitting from above. Go read (or watch) “The Dam Busters”. Transmission lines are even worse targets and easy to repair.

I recall one dam was hit, the Inhulets, on its gates, causing sone flooding last year. But that was repaired.

Since the Russian Air Force has been unable to overfly Ukrainian airspace Russia has limited options.

It depends on whether the Russians can use their air superiority. The joker in this war is the effectiveness of air defense, both Ukrainian and Russian. That’s why Russian Air was unable to effectively intervene in the Ukrainian Kherson or Kharkiv offensives.

200 men is a couple of companies. Such a probing attack is a pretty good way to make the “withering artillery” reveal themselves for counterbattery fire.

You’re putting your trust in the lying, MSM and Zelensky...the former dancer/piano playing actor?

I’ll take Tucker’s reporting, over Zelensky’s antics, any day.

Thanks for the laughs, tonight.

“scales will come off of your eyes”

So easy: Just accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord. Then, the indwelling Spirit of God will grant you insight. PM & I can share Scripture with you.

Already there, dear.

Waiting for you to make that same acceptance, in your heart.

Praying for you.

As an aside....I do thank you, for the laughs, and, fun posts, tonight!

Forced to evacuate Kherson, locals RAGE at Russians

Ukrainians cursed Russia and voiced fears for the future Tuesday as water from the breached Kakhovka dam partially flooded the southern city of Kherson, threatening their homes.

The dam’s destruction has sparked a wave of evacuations with 17,000 already forced to leave their homes.

Standing with neighbours beside the swollen Dnipro River, which flows down from the dam into the city, Iryna has been forced to leave home.

“Now we’re without electricity, without gas, without (tap) water,” 52-year-old Iryna said through tears. Just one example of the ordinary, daily life now devastated, she said. “Our vegetable plots are inundated.”

Ukrainians cursed Russia and voiced fears for the future

And as Iryna and her neighbours watched the flood levels rise and the damage to their homes and livelihoods, they were anxious of further fallout, asking what will happen next.

“We are afraid of what will happen this evening. We are afraid that there will be a major disaster.”

How the war will develop and what it will mean for them is a question Kherson residents have asked time and again. The city was occupied by Russian troops from March to November last year, until it was liberated by Ukraine. It has since come under heavy shelling.

“We spent nine months under occupation, and now we have been flooded by the bloody occupiers,” Iryna said.

- ‘Hate and rage’ -
Like Iryna, 56-year-old nurse Svitlana blamed Russian forces for the flooding in the city.

The flooding was a “disgraceful” act by Russians, Svitlana said, adding she feels “even more hate, even more rage” now.

Whether it will be possible to return home — how permanent the damage is — is a pressing concern.

“We will have problems when all this water retreats,” she said.
“How will all this get restored? How will it function? How will we live here? I don’t understand.”

One man who spoke to AFP, Sergiy, gave a bleak assessment. “Everything is going to die here,” he said.

“All the living creatures and people will be flooded out.”
As muddy water lapped roads and covered an embankment area on the riverbank people packed up their possessions in preparation for evacuation.

Standing outside her house next to a trailer containing her belongings and a washing machine, Lyudmyla said she feared further flooding. “We’re taking our things a bit higher up,” she said.

Clutching her mobile phone, she said Russian forces should be “kicked out of here... they’re shooting at us.”
She said the Russians were either “flooding us or doing something else.”

Some stood staring at the brown water from a road bridge and railway line — places high enough for now to safely evaluate the extent to which the water had risen.

“It’s about three metres (higher) for sure,” said Kostyantin.

“The flood is coming. You can really see it in front of your eyes,” said Kherson resident Viktor.

What antics would those be? Defending his country against a massive foreign invasion?

--- "PM & I can share Scripture with you"

Gosh, there's an offer. I too would like to have some scriptural citations to bolster the daily partisan efforts of a religious professional and her daily Denys Davydov.

One observes on FR interesting consistencies:

The pro-Zelensky contingent in the moment:

Reporting from Ukraine promoted daily by dominusobiscum

Denys Davydov promoted daily by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Oryx promoted daily by SpeedyinTexas

To this we now can add scriptural citations, soon to be detailed, as offered above. Looking forward to the gospel according to .....

“Already there, dear.”

Not to judge you. But, your testimony is not reflective of a personal change

Have a good night & please ponder our discussion a little.

You are making the very common error of personalising this.

What you are seeing is the clash of populations and systems, not individuals. The Ukrainian military is its own thing, as is the Russian, as are the Ukrainian and Russian peoples. As are the many millions of people on both sides of the American “cold civil war”.

The MSM loves personalising. As do their enemies. Neither presents anything with accuracy.

That's why this is a WWI style trench warfare right now.

--- "Waiting for you to make that same acceptance, in your heart."

Those Christians of a number of denominations whom I have known are ready to share scriptural counsel without preconditions. This wee ruse -- waiting -- is not evidence of "tell all the world." It is evidence of requiring first a bending of the virtual knee on an anonymous Free Republic, wherein one cannot verify that I am who I present myself to be, nor who the "reverend" presents herself to be.

But precondition for sharing the gospel is so.....

Not Christian, as I understand it.

“Russia has taken the ground they want. This allows them to set up defensive positions”

Russia tried before lining the banks with land mines. Now they too have been washed away.

Neither is yours, dear...so, you’re speaking for yourself, again....judger :)

Please do your own self reflection.

You have a good night, as well.
