These minor Ukrainian victories produce damaging reactions.
A truck bomb temporarily takes out 1 of 3 spans on the Kerch bridge, Ukraine sends out snarky tweets, Russia takes out 1/4 of Ukraine's elec grid with winter approaching. Zelensky tells displaced Ukrainians not to come home yet.

This strike on a Russian ship violates the carefully negotiated agreement that lifted the blockade on grain shipments & the blockade is reinstated.
Grain shipments can still be interdicted at sea, outside the range of Ukrainian weapons. Ship owners & insurers are not going to risk sailing into a war at sea.
Are these minor Ukrainian tactical & propaganda victories worth the strategic costs or are they the rash decisions of an unreliable, over-equipped "ally"?
The world has changed and passed you by as it does for all humans. Stop resisting and denying. Just makes you look ridiculous.
Openly rooting for Russia in this completely unjustified invasion of Ukraine is truly beyond repugnant.
There are no “two sides” to this war. Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine. Russia needs to withdraw from all of Ukraine, including Crimea.
These efforts to falsely demonize Ukraine are absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.

Pentagon: Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid, water supply had ‘widespread impact’
Oh this is just great. So today's "I'm rooting for Putin, but will get angry if my fellow posters call me out for rooting for Putin" post is this?
Did you SERIOUSLY just tell us that this is Ukraines fault for daring to try and win the war? That hitting Russian rail infrastructure is stupid on the part of the Ukrainians, and they should just......do WHAT, exactly?
ProTip: no one here said that Putin could kill people. Or damage homes. Or damage infrastructure, Old Salt. So I have no clue what strawman you think this post is directed at.
