Moscow in a black out. Ukraine drone swarm seen in the area.

Last edited Tue Dec 30, 2025, 09:59 PM - Edit history (1)

Blackout in Moscow: over 600,000 Russians are reportedly without power, according to Russian media. No official cause confirmed yet, but it follows earlier reports of a Ukrainian drone swarm targeting the region.

Not an unreasonable request, since I didn’t see the story covered by any of the mainstream sources on the Apple News app.

Ukraine would be easy to invade. Ukraine is weak, evil, powerless.
The Russian military is the best in the world.

Putin's lies are all being revealed.

The oligarchs are not stupid, they know exactly who is to
blame for their dwindling fortunes now that the Russian economy is tanking.

Russia simply does not have the resources to fight a long war.

Always impressed the boys because it wasn't a pop ballad or some such. (I liked "arena rock" as we called it back then.)

I doubt there are as many assault rifles, etc. in the russian population.

Strange, since putin worked hard with the NRA to get weapons into the hands of the dumbest people in the US.

Disgruntled Russian soldiers. That is, the lucky ones that survived the Hellhole front.

A modicum of sympathy AND simultaneously; what Putin has put both the soldiers and cvillians of Ukraine through - Moscovites are finally getting a taste of their own medicine!

Maybe it'll start the snowball downhill to push putting out! It's a slingshot, I guess.
