Goes around, comes around. Reap what you sow. The Supreme Leader and his minions have no monopoly on obnoxious. We seem to be eternally blind to the potential of blowback.One of the reasons we're dealing with such an obnoxious government in Iran is because of the 1953 regime change we Americans and Brits forced upon them.

E.G. Ukraine not being happy with Russian attempts to govern them.Yep. It's why I'm skeptical of meddling in another country's governance. People have a habit of getting sore about shit like that.
True, but sometimes foreign interference in regime change works for the best. Look at the USA, without France interfering in 1776 et al, perhaps Washington is hanged from his famed apple tree and King Charles III would be ruling over the 13 colonies today….One of the reasons we're dealing with such an obnoxious government in Iran is because of the 1953 regime change we Americans and Brits forced upon them.
E.G. Ukraine not being happy with Russian attempts to govern them.
Agreed. But Ukrainians are resilient people with very strong family and community ties, so I do not expect too many weather related fatalities within Ukrainian-held territory. Ukrainians in rural areas will need to rely on wood stoves for heat. Those in urban areas will need to be moved to larger buildings that can be heated through generators or other means.... buildings that must be defended against drone and missile attack.Every death from hypothermia there this winter will be a Russian war crime.
It's amazing to me that with so many SSNs, ASW ships/aircraft and undersea surveillance in the Baltic that no one saw anything. My guess is NATO knows full well what happened but doesn't want to reveal how they know, so is playing dumb. Now if we can only find that Malaysian airliner than vanished off the earth.Nord Stream pipeline update:

Indeed. I hope that Biden has sent some ATACMS missiles for this very job.With myth of reprisals for the bridge blast now blown away, Finish destroying the damn bridge already.
Was there a raid on Schweinfurt that we did not hear about?Sanctions work. But very very slowly.

Funny how their missiles hit where they want to, when they want to. All those apartment buildings got hit when they were aiming at military targets, RIIIIIIIIGHT !!!!!!KYIV/MYKOLAIV, Ukraine, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Ukraine said Russia had destroyed almost a third of its power stations over the past week as Moscow stepped up a pre-winter campaign to strike infrastructure, a move the West says is a calculated attempt to disrupt and demoralise.
Missiles struck power generating facilities in a clutch of Ukrainian cities home to millions of people and several people were killed. Moscow acknowledged targeting energy plants, while Ukraine said water infrastructure had also been hit.
"The situation is critical now across the country ... the whole country needs to prepare for electricity, water and heating outages," Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president's office, told Ukrainian television.
