    1. This is fake! How do the machines still have power though? They will say backup generator. Then why not turn on the light? And it just so happens to be a CNN camera crew right there ready to shoot when the light goes out during this supposed surgery. 🀣🀣🀣

  1. There are 2 countries…. One a big country and one a small country,Β  a big country attacking a small country is not nice ~ Kamala Harris
    I’d rather have her in charge then Trump with his very very mean tweets
    The fact that we had real peace,Β  great economy, low prices, low crime and less covid deaths doesn’t really matter πŸ€”

    1. Yeah too bad you have to go to these extreme measures instead of everyone just turning off all the outdoor lights.

  2. ….why those black outs ! How come a country winning a war can have such an issue with energy…? I would have expected to see this kind of energy in Russia, after their army lost the war….

  3. Now imagine the obscurity the Iraqi people are going thru ’till today in the name of freedom and democracy.

    1. @Angelum Band Bush was a terrible president but brandon is so much worse. He has disabled fuel that is desperately needed, without anything viable to replace it. Windmills and solar don’t even come close in replacing fuel. He breaks US laws like it’s nothing. If the US is such a terrible place why are so many people trying to come here? They may as well stay put because brandon has caused terrible inflation that affects everyone. Electric airplanes? Electric tractors for farmers to reap and sow their fields? We are nowhere near ready for that. He stood there and lied to the American people about his son’s laptop. And then there’s Afghanistan and all the Americans and allies he just left there along with tons of expensive equipment. Who in their right mind would pull out the military first? Americans are really struggling to just get by, while he brings in millions of people, illegally. Who knows what kinds of sickness they bring with them, as well as their drugs? And now he wants us to help pay for student loans? Are you kidding me? How is that going to help? Colleges will just become even more expensive. I’m not ashamed to be an American but I am very ashamed of this president. Will he ever face a court for his crimes against the American people? For breaking America’s laws? And how about the ones who created a terrible hoax against our president?

    2. @Angelum Band How about all the Americans now homeless or killed by millions of uneducated people who don’t share our values, that have been invited to enter our country ILLEGALLY. Oh, but that’s ok, right?

    3. @Paul S. Kearnsthe US is a democratic Republic. Go learn political science. Everyone is allowed to vote and we vote the representatives, the republic, that votes the laws in the country.

    4. @bLoWc16 no we are a constitutional republic. We are not a true democracy and that’s a good thing. Democracy is a scam and mob rule u muppets.

    1. @Andi Ward Light in an operating room is one of the first priorities. You think they did not consider that when they built it?

    2. Thank You for waking up to their BS!!

  4. CNN SAVE IT!
    Florida is still devastated looking like a war zone, fentynal has almost decimated the US, our borders are a daily threat, Americans can barely afford groceries, gas, and housing, our veterans are dying on the street etc….
    And we have to hear about this..
    Unbelievable!

    1. @π–‹π–†π–‘π–˜π–Šπ–‹π–‘π–†π–Œπ–Œπ–”π–™ There are generators everywhere, but the power they can provide is limited. They had enough to keep the equipment going, but much of the light went out, and it was touch and go whether they would have enough electricity to complete the surgery. Wow, this comment thread is terminally stupid.

    2. @GirlFriday πŸ§πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ§πŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ§πŸ½πŸ§πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ§πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ I thought so… Please 🀫🀫🀫🀫 &🀐🀐🀐🀐🀐🀐🀐

  5. I like how they are presenting a power blackout like a breaking news. Here in Burma, the government is selling the electricty to the neighbouring countries like china even though 70% of the country has no power xD

  6. Maybe signing a neutrality agreement (8 months ago) wouldn’t have been such a bad idea?
    And just to remind people, the US lobbed 29,000 missles into Bagdad in the first 48 hours of our invasion. That and 500,000 Iraqi children who died from our sanctions alone….

  7. Where’s all the military and humanitarian aid going?

    Some western benefactors have recently noticed that most of the military and humanitarian aid never reaches Ukraine’s army or ordinary citizens.

  8. The same applies to other major Ukrainian officials: former Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, the head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, the second President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk and many others all took their families and fortunes, estimated at around a billion dollars, out of the country. And that’s not to mention the numerous politically-affiliated oligarchs.

  9. Samantha Morris, a medical doctor from the US, drew attention to the theft of medical supplies and the overall corruption: β€œThe lead doctor at the military base in Sumy has ordered medical supplies from and for the military at different points in time, and he has had 15 trucks of supplies completely disappear,” she said

    1. @Raymond Li it is well documented. Bet me $10,000 and I’ll provide the links. Otherwise stop being lazy and go look urself

  10. Is part of the darkening be due to application of a “lights out” technique at night to help disguise targets from vision guided bombs?

  11. The people of Ukraine and Iran are incredibly resilient. We must help them survive the winter and beat back power hungry dictators

  12. Im pretty sure it’s called war. Extra kudos for throwing in the buzz word β€œterror” in an already months long war that Russia according to you is losingπŸŽ‰
