Russian airstrikes destroy Kyiv’s largest power plant
CNN ^ | Svitlana Vlasova

Posted on 04/11/2024 12:36:21 PM PDT by hardspunned

Russia destroyed the largest power-generating plant in Ukraine’s Kyiv region in a missile attack on Thursday, as President Volodomyr Zelensky accused the West of “turning a blind eye” to his country’s need for more air defenses.

Ukraine’s Air Force said it shot down 18 of the incoming missiles and 39 of the drones. Russia fired 82 missiles and drones in total, including six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles – none of which Ukraine’s air defenses were able to down.

Ukraine has found a response tactic for Russia’s hitting exclusively civilian targets policies in Ukraine.

Ukraine now hits Russia’s refineries with a very high success rate, forcing Moscow (now in full panic mode) to end its energy exports. Russia now can’t produce enough gas!!
Hilarious but true.

These refineries attacks are prompting Biden’s unsupportive stance against Ukraine on this. The Democrats are afraid that Russia could collapse economically because of those exploding refineries.
They dont want Russia to end in chaos and civil war.
No wonder Putin stated a few weeks ago that he supports Biden over Trump.

Thus, once again I’ll have to disagree with Biden’s protective stance on Russia.
Biden doesn’t want Ukraine to win.
It’s time to put a Republican with some guts in the White House!

Let’s help the Freedom First fighters in allied Ukraine WIN.
Russia go home.

They still have the option of hitting fresh water infrastructure and dare I say waste treatment facilities. Along with food distribution systems.

Don’t think they really want to hence the slow walking of their attacks.

Unless the US decides to provide supplies and ammunition to Ukraine now it will be US soldiers fighting against Russia in the future.

You say “Let’s help.”

Let France help all it wants. This never was a US concern.

Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone

That isn't what Putin's hand picked spokespeople say. Are they liars?

That does not follow logically. There’s no reason American soldiers need to be sent to re-fight World War II eastern front battles in the role of the Nazis. It just does not logically follow that if Ukraine is defeated that America Hass to take up that fight. And the nurse or practical issue. Our military is almost devoid of artillery or heavy mechanized warfare capability. We’ve been doing the modern equivalent of chasing Geronimo in the mountains of southern New Mexico for the last three decades.

Except for spec op people here and there, they’re mostly chubby and woke and poorly lead. There is no way America would tolerate our kids being sent to the eastern front lol.

“I hope they fight them as long as they can conventionally, then go gorilla and then continue until Russia finally leaves, which they will “


The Galicia Banderite diehards will “go gorilla” alright.

But in Europe. Not in the Russia majority areas of Ukraine where they will likely be expelled.

“Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan are examples of countries where the US rushes in, promises support that will never fail only to cut and run when it’s convenient”


You didn’t mention China, Cuba, Laos, Cambodia, Iran, Nicaragua...

Unlike the US in Iraq, they know they will be running the place eventually, and can think one step ahead.

I don’t like either side much at all. But it’s pretty disgusting to watch Freepers root for a former KGB officer who has his political opponents murdered.

Typical bushlike neocon drivel to justify more war.
