LOL!
Deny the dimwit never reported for Effed-16 duty. Not such a dimwit after all.
It is to laugh about the checks - prices are high in Suisse.
Just pointing out that Russia once a net exporter of petroleum, and petroleum products like diesel and gasoline are now importers of of gasoline and diesel after losing capacity to crack enough to even supply themselves. Add that they are now importing ammunition, food, and equipment and the claim of “self-sufficiency “ is gone.
Much of their industry that produced the majority of revenue for the Kremlin are broke, and increased taxes on remaining businesses and the people cannot replace that.

When you use the word anout, what exactly are you trying to say?
The church was instructed to create a universal prayer that will simultaneously protect the refinery, Putin and Russians from rising prices, our source in the Kremlin said.
“The Church is now holding special prayers for a number of important things. For the protection of our refineries, for everything to be fine with Vladimir Vladimirovich, for military facilities. Such prayers are very important. But they do not always work. The enemy continues to destroy the same refineries, from time to time hitting important facilities. Over the past day alone, due to the attacks of the Kyiv regime in the conditional rear, at a certain distance from the front line, 12 valuable military specialists were killed. This means that we need to pray better and more effectively,” our interlocutor believes.
In this regard, according to him, Patriarch Kirill personally received the task of creating a universal and especially powerful prayer – “one that would simultaneously protect the oil refinery, our president, the military, and the population from rising prices and other negative effects of the crisis that threatens the Russian economy.”
The Church confirmed that they are already working on the implementation of the Kremlin's instructions. “We are creating a special prayer, one that can only be said by the patriarch and several clergymen. It will be ready in a few weeks, we hope that God will definitely hear it,” said a source close to the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. He added that with the help of the new prayer, they also plan to consecrate crosses and baptismal icons with the initials of Vladimir Putin, which are sent to the military at the front from time to time.

Where in Russia will there be the greatest shortage of gasoline?
Friends, earlier we warned that in connection with a series of attacks on our refineries in a number of Russian regions, a protracted fuel crisis may arise. Which, by the way, they want to solve with the help of imports. But this may not be enough. The day before, it became known that enemy drones attacked the Lukoil refinery in Volgograd. According to our information, the damage is serious. But the trouble is that this is far from the first oil refining facility attacked.
Interlocutors familiar with the real situation say that there is a threat that in some regions the sale of fuel will be strictly limited by December. “The worst will be in the South - Krasnodar, Stavropol, Crimea, Rostov, the Caucasus,” our interlocutor said. The source did not predict the timing of the settlement of the crisis, “given the fact that strikes on refineries continue.”

Looks like McCain was wrong:
9JAN2025:Fresh off a weekend visit to Ukraine, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that Russia is, more or less, a giant gas station pretending to be a real country.

It's no longer a gas station.
“reports full closure of both the export terminal of Tuapse, and the Tuapse oil refinery.
Those are big effects - the explosion at the port must have been massive.”
The genius of an export terminal hit, is so much crude or distillates to go up in massive flames. That destroy the terminal, the pirate oil tanker, and any nearby storage farms. But these hits are black sea ports.
Let me know when Ukraine demobilizes some oil terminals with Baltic sea access.
HOWEVER>>>>
“Ukraine announced and claimed responsibility for strikes on key Russian oil hubs like Primorsk, which temporarily suspended operations and loadings at the port.”
AND
SBU Drones Torch Primorsk, Russia’s Biggest Oil Hub – $41M a Day Lost
Ukraine’s SBU drones struck Russia’s largest Baltic oil hub, Primorsk, setting fires and halting shipments. Daily budget losses could hit $41M, dealing a heavy blow to Moscow’s war chest.
