Seemed like a waste of money sending it to this country

The biased news media refuses to tell you that Ukraine's energy infrastructure is a legitimate target as it powers the electrical train infrastructure Ukraine depends on to shuttle billions of military equipment to the front, shuttle troops back and forth to plug any Russian breakthroughs and to shuttle equipment back to Poland for repairs. In the US army, it's called mixed use and the reason why we also hit 90% of Iraqi electrical infrastructure.

Ukraine can get its power back to millions in a few days after Russian drone strikes but here in U.S. it took over a week for NC to restore power to 50k people after someone shot at power stations

The Merchant of Death is back on the field!

[millercmdn]

Well of course the media keeps saying that Ukraine is winning but it doesn’t seem like it 😂

[tatianadavis]

Hands up Ukraine, make a peace with Russia or freeze!

[SincereSentinel]

Who would have ever thought that more strikes would continue if Kyiv refuses to negotiate? Shocking. 🥴

[chrisschwanger]

Holly crap bat man, lets send them another zillion

[trollingdaddy]

Well they have 10s of billions in aid from major countries they should deal with it themselves

[mpmassacre]

They will be ok people survived thousands of years without electricity.

[debbie]

Sounds like here in California 4 months out of the year... (and Newsome doesn’t need a drone strike)

[mikefrazier]

Sounds like they need a couple billion more

[billkelly]

How many billions of US taxpayer dollars is this going to cost us.

[EddieBlueHalen]

Same thing happened to Serbia when NATO bombed the power plants during the Balkan War.

[m.sand-]

Is that not how war works and how you win the battle.

[Stephen-]

Makes you question if it was russia who made the attack. Considering 2 weeks ago when a ukrain missile was launched on their own soil and they blamed it on Russia when it wasn't.

[bobmarley]

govt already sent billions to ukraine, should we now send candles ??

[Maxxcomet]

We’ll we just need to help Ukrainian, send 75 Billion dollars. That should help to get the lights back on.

[mikeansley]

How about reporting on the legal citizens of USA that can't afford their heating cost or electric... while you're at about the food

[XKillerX]

Don't worry, the big guy Joe got another 37 billion coming your way
