MOSCOW – Ukraine attacked Moscow on Wednesday with at least 11 drones shot down by air defenses in what Russian officials said was one of the biggest drone strikes on the capital since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022.

The war, largely a grinding artillery and drone battle across the fields, forests and villages of eastern Ukraine, escalated on Aug. 6 when Ukraine sent thousands of soldiers into Russia’s western Kursk region.

For months, Ukraine has also fought an increasingly damaging drone war against the refineries and airfields of the world’s second-largest oil exporter, though major drone attacks on the Moscow region – with a population of over 21 million – are rarer.

Does Russia have anything like the MOAB, or fuel-air explosive bombs?

[adorno]

Yeah right, their Energy Minister stated 80 percent of the entire countries electricity is gone,

Pixie dust must be a very potent energy source, since Ukraine is still fighting hard and taking the fight into enemy territory, so, they must be using pixie dust as the energy that powers them.

St Z defaulted on a huge portion of debt, wondering now how to even pay their soldiers

Well, you and your kind have been complaining from the start abut the U.S. funding the "Z" war effort, so, guess where the soldiers' pay is coming from?

not to mention their currency is tanking,

Their currency is immaterial during a war, and the war goes on even with a poor currency and a poor economy. Putin is having the same kind of problems, so, why don't you complain to him about the destruction of the Russian economy too?

infrastructure is in ruins

Guess who destroyed the infrastructure? Your side, in case you didn't know.

$6-800 billion to rebuild

Rebuilding is an effort to worry about after the invasion is thwarted. And, it will not be a Ukraine only problem.

demographics show only 14-16 million Ukies left in country

Wow! You must be very proud of Putin and the Russian killing machine. Ukraine was a country with about 50 million people and Russia has killed most of them? You must be very proud of comrade Putin.

male population decimated

Yeah, so, the military personnel still doing the fighting for Ukraine, must be composed of ghosts or zombies from the mass murdering machine that the Russians invaded with. Your pride is beyond measure. BTW, those ghosts and zombies have taken some 500 square miles of your Russian territory.

and the war cheerleaders want us to believe they are winning?

Oh, but, they can't be winning, because, according to your and your kind, Ukraine had already lost the war 2 1/2 years ago and had no soldiers left to fight with. So, it was you and your side that was doing the 200 decibel cheer-leading. So, stop projecting and admit that your cheer-leading has been badly misplaced.

And, Ukraine is not losing, since, they are marching deep into Russia and it's Russia that is having its military decimated and its territory taken. Try to follow the real news and stop listening to Putin.

Seems to me that it's you Russian supporters

That's an asinine assumption on your part. I don't support anyone in Ukraine, not zeepers, not Russia, not the political money laundering and certainly not America involvement or funding. You ghoulish zeepers are like savages, there is never enough death and destruction for you. I find you disgusting, and I spit in your direction.

[adorno]

That's an asinine assumption on your part

You don't have to say it in exact words in order for anyone to conclude that, you do support the Russian effort to conquer Ukraine. It's not an assumption when your words betray with.

You don't have to say it in exact words in order for anyone to conclude that, you do support the Russian effort to conquer Ukraine.

Conclude whatever you want, it don't change the facts. It amazes me what morons you zeepers are. I mean my God, how did you ever survive puberty?

[adorno]

Conclude whatever you want

Conclusions can only be derived from observations. Your words and actions lead to the conclusions reached. You create the conclusions.

it don't change the facts.

Facts can't be changed, but you have no facts.

It amazes me what morons you zeepers are.

A moron is most easily noticed when he gives himself away by trying to win an argument by insulting others. Somebody that can't make a coherent argument and has to resort to insults, is the true moron.

I mean my God

Using God's name in vain, is not going to help you.

how did you ever survive puberty?

See? You have to automatically change the subject, because, you can't argue using any real facts. But, when it comes to puberty, you apparently haven't ever reached it, since your argumentative methods reflect the mind of an 8-year old.

Conservatives supporting the Russians are either contrarian imbeciles or as intellectually dulled on WWE reruns and Harley Davidson exhaust to follow the same logic as leftists supporting Hamas. There is no option #3.

[Seruzawa]

Lol. I’m one of the few on this site who actually fought Russia’s proxies. So put your money where your mouth is, coward. Your daddy Zee needs you. Your turn to carry the 223. Lmao.

[adorno]

I’m one of the few on this site who actually fought Russia’s proxies.

Yeah, right.

Which proxy was that. and when, and where?

I fought one of China's proxies, which one could also call a proxy of Russia. Communists stick together, you know. So, been there, done that, and don't need to do it anymore. I only fight for my country, but I do support countries that fight for their right to remain free and independent.

You, on the other hand, support the Russian effort to take over Ukraine. That's no way to fight against Russia.

[canuck_conservative]

there is never enough death and destruction for you

You claim to dislike "death and destruction", yet you never, ever criticize Putin or Russia, the ones who started this illegal war full of of "death and destruction"

And then you would have us believe you're not cheering for Russia

LOL ... you liar

[JoSixChip]

And then you would have us believe you're not cheering for Russia

Your mistake here is I don't give a crap about you, much less what you think. As far as I'm concerned, you zeepers are monsters.
