Putin's Counter-Attack

The old saying "Don't poke the bear" applies here.  It's now clear that Zelenskiy is a psychopath; demanding that the US pre-emptively nuke Russia is the proof of that.  

Up to this point, Russia has been pretty careful with its forces.  But after Zelenskiy poked the bear.....well.....

...What happened was no “warning strike,” but a massive offensive of over 100 cruise missiles launched “from the air, sea and land,” as Putin noted, against Ukrainian “energy, military command and communications facilities.”

MI6 also noted “the next step” will be the complete destruction of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. That’s not a “next step:” it’s already happening. Power supply is completely gone in five regions, including Lviv and Kharkov, and there are serious interruptions in other five, including Kiev.

Over 60 percent of Ukrainian power grids are already knocked out. Over 75 percent of internet traffic is gone. Elon Musk’s Starlink netcentric warfare has been “disconnected” by the Ministry of Defense....

We mentioned the Starlink mil-comms attack a few days ago, and the loss of power to the Zaporizhzhia nuke-power plant, but that damage to the plant was repaired on Sunday.

Don't poke the bear.
