“Correction, Cuchoo Program, Alexandr Dugin copied from a Nazi breeding the perfect Aryans program.”

Nothing wrong with a breeding program, just so long as you are not out killing off those who not up to snuff. Which the Nazis did. Hitler copied Margaret Sanger and similar people.

The US breeding program is dysgenic, and done via government welfare payments. Where we get the clowns and dumbass breeding more than normies and the hi-IQs. Here we have white girls and women permanently diluting the white gene pool by mud sharking. The stone cold truth is that non whites always want some cream in their coffee, with certain Asians excepted. Such as Japanese.

“If the Ukrainians really want to mess up Russia’s winter oil production and transport, I guess they will want to bomb the propylene glycol producing plants.”

Few weeks ago the Ukies took out a very large petro-chemical complex.>>>>>>>>

“there are credible reports that Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat (a major petrochemical/oil complex in Russia’s Bashkortostan region) was hit by Ukrainian-drone strikes in recent weeks.”

Many Russian nuke have not been maintained, so that they will not explode. (Nukes need tritium to be refreshed. It decays fast.) >>> “However, tritium is radioactive and has a short half-life of approximately 12.3 years, meaning it decays and loses its ability to sustain nuclear fusion. This necessitates the continuous replenishment of tritium in nuclear weapons to maintain their effectiveness.”

WHILE>>>

Many far north oil infrastructure are not being maintained, so that they will explode. From the 7% water content in Urals crude, freezing.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 2, 2025

Russian forces continue to intensify offensive operations in and around Pokrovsk to seize the town and collapse the Ukrainian pocket. Both Ukrainian and Russian forces recently made tactical advances in the Pokrovsk area. Geolocated footage published on November 1 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced in southeastern Pokrovsk.[1] Additional geolocated footage published on November 2 shows Ukrainian forces striking two Russian soldiers in northern Pokrovsk conducting what ISW assesses was an infiltration mission that did not change the control of terrain or the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA).[2] Ukrainian military sources and Russian milbloggers recently stated that Russian forces are infiltrating into northern Pokrovsk.[3] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced in northeastern, central, and southern Pokrovsk; in northern and southeastern Myrnohrad; and south of Hnativka and Rih (all east of Pokrovsk).[4] A Russian milblogger reported that Ukrainian forces recaptured territory north of Zatyshok (northeast of Pokrovsk).[5] The Ukrainian General Staff reported on November 2 that Ukrainian forces recaptured 400 square meters in an unspecified area of the Pokrovsk direction, likely referring to recent tactical counterattacks north and northwest of Pokrovsk.[6]

Russian forces have likely deprioritized offensive operations in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area in favor of completing the seizure of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. Russian assault tactics in the Pokrovsk direction are resulting in high casualty rates. A Ukrainian non-commissioned officer (NCO) operating in the Pokrovsk direction recently reported that Russian forces have decreased the intensity of assaults in the Kostyantynivka direction following a failed mechanized assault on October 27, and a Russian milblogger assessed on November 1 that Russia will likely prioritize seizing Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad before renewing significant efforts to seize Kostyantynivka.[7] The commander of a Ukrainian battalion operating in the Pokrovsk direction stated on November 1 that Russian assault units search for routes to bypass Ukrainian strongpoints in Pokrovsk and infiltrate into the Ukrainian near-rear while other Russian units — likely drone or artillery crews or lesser-quality infantry — work to destroy the Ukrainian strongpoint.[8] The commander stated that Russian forces send untrained soldiers on assaults to draw Ukrainian drone and artillery fire, revealing the positions of Ukrainian drone and artillery crews, after which trained Russian assault infantry attempt to engage these Ukrainian crews in close combat. The commander stated that Russian forces regularly attack along the same routes, resulting in heavy casualties. The commander stated that Russian forces are constantly committing new units to battle and sending reinforcements to the area. A Ukrainian military-focused Telegram channel published images showing high concentrations of Russian casualties near Rodynske (north of Pokrovsk) and attributed the high casualty rate to Ukrainian drone strikes.[9] The spokesperson of a Ukrainian brigade operating in the Pokrovsk direction reported on November 2 that elements of the Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade (Pacific Fleet) sustained such heavy personnel losses that they are now combat ineffective and withdrawing, and that elements of the 108th Motorized Rifle Regiment and 68th Tank Regiment (both 150th Motorized Rifle Division, 8th Combined Arms Arm [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) are replacing them.[10] The Atesh Crimea-based Ukrainian partisan group reported on November 1, citing sources in the brigade, that elements of the Russian 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade (41st CAA, Central Military District [CMD]) are suffering heavy casualties and high rates of desertion.[11] The Atesh group noted that the brigade is getting no rest and not evacuating wounded from the battlefield, which both contribute to the high casualty rate.

Ukrainian forces struck oil and electrical infrastructure in Russia on the night of November 1 to 2. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on November 2 that Ukrainian forces struck the Tuapse oil terminal and its surrounding infrastructure in Krasnodar Krai overnight, and geolocated footage published on November 1 shows fires burning at the port's berth complex and an oil tanker moored at the port.[12] Sources in Ukraine's Security Service told Ukrainian outlet Suspilne that the strikes caused a fire on an oil tanker, disabled four berths, and damaged buildings at the port.[13] Ukrainian Navy Spokesperson Captain Third Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk stated that at least three Russian shadow fleet tankers were moored at the Tuapse terminal at the time of the strike and noted that the port accounts for 20 percent of Russia's crude oil exports.[14] Krasnodar Krai regional authorities claimed that drone debris damaged a tanker and an oil terminal in Tuapse and caused a fire.[15] Russian state oil company Rosneft stated that the Tuapse oil terminal processes about 17 million tons per year, and the terminal mainly exports petroleum products from Rosneft’s Tuapse, Achinsk, and Samara refineries and transships third-party resources.[16]

Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation Head Lieutenant Andriy Kovalenko, who frequently reports on successful Ukrainian strikes, implied on November 2 that Ukrainian strikes caused fires at substations in Kursk and Lipetsk oblasts and a thermal power plant in Oryol Oblast.[17] Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Commander Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported on November 2 that USF and Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) struck five substations, including near Gryazi, Lipetsk Oblast, on the night of November 1 to 2.[18]

Belgian officials reported unidentified drone incursions near the Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium from October 31 to November 2. Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken reported on November 2 that there were three reports of large drones flying at higher-than-typical altitudes above the Kleine Brogel Air Base on the night of November 1 to 2.[19] Francken stated that the drones were clearly conducting a mission involving Kleine Brogel Air Base and that Belgian forces unsuccessfully attempted to jam and intercept down the drone. Belgian authorities also investigated reports of drones near Kline Brogel Airbase on the night of October 31 to November 1.[20] Belgian media noted that Kleine Borgel Air Base will host F-35 fighter jets in 2027.[21]

Russian authorities continued attempts to shut down Russian insider source VChK-OGPU as part of a crackdown on social media sources that share insider information about the Kremlin and Russian security services. Russian insider channel VChK-OGPU stated on its website that Russian authorities instructed Telegram administrators to remove its reserve Telegram accounts, VChK-OGPU-Info and VChK-OGPU-Info2, on November 2 after instructing Telegram to remove VChK-OGPU's main account and arresting one of the channel's authors on November 1.[22] The Kremlin likely targeted VChK-OGPU as part of a wider effort to cleanse the Russian information space of sources that publish information that the Kremlin deems threatening to the regime's stability.

Regardless of any anti freeze measures that are available and working, the oil has to move.
If there is no place for the oil to go, or the infrastructure is damaged to the point where the oil can’t be moved in the volumes needed there will be damage.

Pipelines are not meant to be for storage.

Likely any damage will compound problems further up and down the chain

I read recent statistics about population increase during the years of Covid. For one of the years the white women had 1% fewer children while black women had 4% fewer. Not sure what exactly that means, but an interesting difference.

"Another great take on the situation in Russia"

Another great take? Jay in Kiev is an American expat who monetized his channel, so that every penny goes directly to the Serhiy Prytula Foundation known for corruption and is also Ukraine’s biggest, volunteer army supplier.

“the Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade (Pacific Fleet) sustained such heavy personnel losses that they are now combat ineffective”

The 155th again. That unit has been reduced to combat ineffective status and reconstituted so many times during this conflict, that I have lost count. This is at least the seventh time.

Maybe it should be redesignated the 155th Meat Wave.

I appreciate the offer, but I satisfied my interest in fine details as a teen when I wrote a long paper on all the products that industry derives from our coal resources. I am sure the Russian people will be miserable from what they are loosing, but at least their civilian populations is not being attacked and killed on purpose.

In this country we have had our own major disasters, not caused by war, but enough to make a lot of people rethink our major dependency on oil.
* In 2010, BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 men and dumping nearly 5 million barrels of oil much of which ended up on popular beaches and areas of wildlife reserve.
* A few years later a 6 foot oil pipe split creating the Kalamazoo River Disaster requiring a $1 billion cleanup. No one was immediately killed, but how many people were made I’ll?
* However another 2013 oil disaster made up for that in spades. In Lac Megantic, Canada, an oil train parked overnight lost it’s brakes, rolled into the town, exploded and killed 47 people.
* Far fewer people were probably aware of another major disaster in China that year, so I will provide AI’s details: “The Qingdao pipeline explosion in November 2013 killed at least 62 people and injured 136 in the major Chinese city of Qingdao. The incident involved a leaking Sinopec oil pipeline that ignited, causing multiple blasts that ripped through the city’s streets, with the final death toll reaching 62.
==Location: The blasts occurred in the Huangdao district of Qingdao, a major port city in China’s Shandong Province.
Cause: The disaster was caused by a leak in a Sinopec oil pipeline that ignited after seeping into underground utility pipes.
==Casualties: At least 62 people were killed and 136 were injured.
==Impact: The explosion caused extensive damage to the city’s infrastructure, overturning cars and shattering glass. The disaster prompted a nationwide safety review of oil and gas pipelines across China.

Many people knew about some of these disasters, and a few knew about all of them. I think this was an important reason that so many people were against the Keystone pipeline and now feel we should be encouraging other sources of energy.

Another night, another Russian refinery on fire. Saratov again.

Kyiv Independent (3 Nov):

“Ukraine struck the Saratov oil refinery for the third time this fall and hit multiple Russian military logistics sites overnight on Nov. 3, Ukraine’s General Staff reported.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that overnight on Nov. 3, its forces intercepted 64 Ukrainian drones, including 29 over Saratov Oblast.

Residents reported hearing explosions, and photos and videos circulating online appeared to show a drone hitting the facility. This marks at least the third reported attack on the refinery since September.

The strike ignited a fire in the area of the ELOU AVT-6 oil refining units, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.

The plant was covered with protective netting, and flames were visible in its western section, likely near storage tanks, the Telegram channel Astra reported earlier in the day...

...Drone attacks also hit the Saratov oil refinery earlier, on Sept. 20, and again on Oct. 16.

The Saratov oil refinery produces over 20 different petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, and bitumen. In 2023, the plant processed approximately 4.8 million metric tons of crude oil, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.

Saratov is a key industrial site in the region, located around 150 kilometers (about 100 miles) from Kazakhstan’s border and roughly 600 kilometers (370 miles) east of the Ukrainian front line...

...Russian exports of oil products declined by 17.1% in September compared to August, falling to 7.58 million tons, as Ukrainian drone strikes continued to disrupt operations, according to Reuters.”

The feast on Russia’s former market share has begun. Last quarter was only the appetizer. (Buy Exxon and Chevron)

Kyiv independent (3 Nov):

“Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries and Western sanctions have significantly benefited top Western oil companies, Reuters reported on Nov. 3.

The coordinated impact of Ukrainian drone attacks and Western restrictions has reduced Russian oil output and exports, driving up refining margins and profits for U.S. and European competitors.

Profits from refining operations among the four largest Western oil companies rose by 61% in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, contributing to a 20% overall increase in earnings.

Since July, Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russian refineries and export terminals have cut Russia’s average daily oil product exports by 500,000 barrels, according to energy analytics firm Kpler...

...As a result, Russia shipped only 2 million barrels per day by tanker in September — the lowest level since both the start of the full-scale invasion and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

This lifted global refining margins for Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies, which together produce more than 10% of the world’s refined oil products, or about 11 million barrels per day.

Exxon Mobil reported a 30% quarterly profit increase in its energy products division, reaching $1.84 billion, attributing the gains to “supply disruptions” in the global market.

British oil and gas company BP, which will publish its quarterly results on Nov. 4, saw its profit margin rise by 33% in the same period.”
