Russia on Friday staged its largest air strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure of the war, opens new tab, hitting a vast dam, killing at least five people and leaving more than a million others without electricity, Kyiv said. Ukraine, which has long urged allies to supply more air defences, said its energy system had received emergency power supplies from neighbouring Poland, Romania and Slovakia, as seven of its regions faced blackouts. The attack by Russia, which vowed last week to punish Kyiv for conducting attacks and strikes during its presidential election, brought back memories of the first winter of the invasion when Moscow regularly bombed the power grid.

All we did was to give our stockpile to Ukraine. We didn’t start to increase our production in factories like the Russians did in 2022. They’re on a war footing. We’re not. We’re supposed to have more ammunition to give to Ukraine in 2025. By then, it may be too late.

“All we did was to give our stockpile to Ukraine. We didn’t start to increase our production in factories like the Russians did in 2022.”

The Russians even ANNOUNCED it, yet we did nothing (probably waiting for the ‘sanctions’ to work, LOL).

One of the BIG REASONS that I opposed getting involved in this war was due to the TOTAL INCOMPETENCE of the Leftists running this war, in both the US (including our brass), and the European women running that continent. We should NEVER be fighting an unnecessary war with this bunch in charge.
