Ukraine Evacuates Civilians as Temperatures Drop

Ukraine is bracing for a brutal winter as Russian missile strikes have damaged nearly half of the country’s electrical grid, according to Kyiv, potentially leaving millions of people without heating while temperatures plummet.

As many as 10 million Ukrainians do not have power as a result of Russia’s bombardment, Ukrainian officials have warned, while rolling blackouts and water supply shortages have become commonplace across the country. In recently liberated Kherson, some people are now collecting wood for heat in lieu of a stable power supply.

there are none so blind as those who will not see..

You are letting your dislike for the biden crime administration, deep state, etc. blind you. Those same people are actually on the same side as you on many issues. They don't think school shootings are a good thing, which I assume you also don't think are a good thing.

But you are so wrapped up in opposing Joe Biden, et al that you are ready to act as a cheerleader for a tyrant who has invaded a neighboring country, let his military rape, murder, and plunder civilians, and is intent on terrorizing the civilian population by shelling cities and civilian infrastructure.

Using your logic you must think the guys who flew the airplanes into the World Trade Center were pretty swell guys. After all Joe Biden was really against them, as were "the deep state, corporate leftist media, RINOs" and many a detestable loser. Why even George Bush was against the 9/11 hijackers.

maybe if the corrupt zalensky hadn't washed the money thru ftx

Why do you believe stories like that? It was apparently posted by Hal Turner who also isn't sure the Holocaust happened.

Do you believe everything posted on Twitter by some random guy?

The longer the war lasts, the more people will die. Funding it makes it last longer.

That's really twisted logic. Using your logic there is no reason for self defense, or police forces. More people will die if you fight back against a home invader, or somebody who is trying to rape your daughter.

In your ideal world surrender is the first step in any situation.

I’m not Ukraine. Helping Ukraine is not self defense.

So who did you vote for in 2000 and 2004?

Seems like Al Gore and John Kerry were your favorites. What attracted you to them?

Watch out, freeandfreezing! JonPreston is pulling out his old standbys: He’s already hit you with the “Hush,” admonition; next, he’ll say you are angry!

Helping Ukraine is not self defense.

So you wouldn't do anything to help your neighbors kids if they were getting attacked by an angry dog? That's not self defense.

“I’m not Ukraine. Helping Ukraine is not self defense.”

And helping Britain in 1939 - 1941, and beyond; and helping the USSR in 1941 and beyond, was not self defense, huh? We did it just for s***s and grins?

I’m just stating the facts at hand. Ignore them if you wish. Have a good evening.

Printing money is self destruction. It makes the dollar collapse faster.

“Printing money is self destruction. It makes the dollar collapse faster.”

You can exchange all your dollars for rubles, or yen, or whatever currency or commodity you desire. Since it appears you have no faith in the US dollar, there are so many options available to you.

Printing dollars reduce their value. If I have faith, printing dollars still reduce their value.

So, exchange your dollars for some other currency. But, I bet you don’t.

Everybody does to the extent they can. They buy property, which loses value more slowly.
