Devastating news. I'm sure the allies are sending every bit of equipment needed to get those power plants back into operation. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Why the Russians didn't do this at the start of the war is puzzling. Its basic warfighting for US forces at war.

My fear?

The Russians have their fangs out.

The Ukrainians have their fangs out.

Biden has gambled his place in history on this war.

I think we've reached a point where neither side can attempt to shut this thing down.

For the leaders involved this has gone from a political problem into one involving personal stakes masquerading as national policy.

The UN is useless but it would be nice if we had 3rd party intervention.

The only real answer to this thing is....CHINA.  But they have their own issues at home to deal with, are highly pissed because of recent Taiwan talk here in the US and probably are enjoying watching us deplete our warstocks.

China is in the cats bird seat.  They're enjoying the carnage and building their strength.
