These are ordinary people who just want to live their lives, but it’s hard for me to muster much sympathy when Putin has spent years trying to do this to Ukraine.

It’s past time to aim this rage and frustration at Moscow, folks.

They're handling it the traditional Russian way, to nobody's surprise.

Obviously the gas shortage is bad and there's no light at the end of the tunnel for Russia that isn't just a drone strike. It's going to take a long time to fix the refineries and importing enough gasoline to meet demand is unrealistic at best.

My question is, how does Russia heat its homes? In addition to the oil refineries, Ukraine has hit gas pipeline pumping stations and other infrastructure that will also take a while to fix. What happens in Russia when it gets colder?

Who cares?

You reap what you sow.

Russia decided to strike UA power infrastructure as winter fell. They can be grateful it's still summer.

It's one thing when your logistics are messed up, and maybe it's another when people are freezing to death and civil unrest goes from zero to "burn the Kremlin for heat."

I'm just eager for my Scadenfreude and wonder what it's gonna be like.
