Evil Vladimir Putin suffered a huge blow after Ukraine launched dramatic strikes on the dictator's oil refineries, defence plants, a military airfield, and radar facilities.
These huge hits came after Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to move closer to Russia after "provocative" threats of war with the US came from Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev. In a dramatic dawn strike, a huge fireball explosion hit military-linked Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in Samara region with mushroom-shaped flames rising into the sky.

Another key oil refinery in Ryazan - crucial for supplies to capital city Moscow - was also in flames. Fires were reported to have been raging close to a military airfield at Primorsko-Akhtarsk, in Krasnodar region, used for Putin drone strikes on Ukraine.
A “major hit” was reported on a Russian air defence radar company near Feodosia in Putin-occupied Crimea - military unit 66571. There were giant “balls” covering radio-technical stations - one the size of a nine storey building.
Fires were recorded at the facility in the Tepe-Oba mountain range. One woman died in drone strikes on the Electropribor plant in Penza city, making special-purpose telecommunication and cryptographic equipment for Putin’s war machine.
Eight giant explosions were heard over the city followed by flames at the plant which was struck by long range Ukrainian drones. A defence-related radar plant in the city was also hit for the second time in three days, according to reports.
Ukraine also hit targets in Rostov region leading to one death, according to reports. The Ukrainian strikes on military-linked targets were in stark contrast to Putin’s assault on Kyiv on Thursday - one of the worst of the war.
A total of 31 people were killed including five children after Russia slammed a £2 million Iskander missile into a residential tower block Kyiv.

“Food transportation and production facilities.”
Russians eat a rather basic diet compared to Americans - bread, meat, potatoes, root vegetables, corn, apples, other fruit when in season, mushrooms, etc.
Ukraine will be doing it and “accidentally hitting the Russian infrastructure. Oops.
Maybe an unlucky agricultural even where their Russian potato and wheat crops are blighted to nothing. Add a food aid to Russia embargo.
Fir extra misery, drones could deliver millions of packets of fentanyl scattered over huge areas to help dull hunger pains.
Throwing Rockets into Ruzzia won’t get their land back from Ruzzia.
Each day Ruzzia takes a little more land. Zelensky should just push Ruzzia out.
They just copay paste the Soviet propaganda - where US leaders, especially Reagan, were portrayed as warmongers, who are going to provoke WW3, while Soviet mass murderers were just defending the world from western imperialism. It's retarded beyond any limits but it somehow worked then and works now in case of clueless individuals.
Over here they just replace Trump/America with “neocons” for certain reasons.
“I see Trump ramping up drone production to a million a year and guiding every one into Russia for Putin and their people to enjoy.”
Drones could under most conditions be detected and shot down.
It would be possible to produce blow-up plastic soldiers - think balloons, tubing, uniforms, BB guns, compressed air, heater with thermostat to lure in a drone or drone swarm.
Yep. Attacking defense industry, refineries and air bases makes no sense because a Peeper says so.
YouCrayne should activate Summer Offensive v.8 and take his land back from
Ruzzia. Maybe he just does not have the warm bodies to do it.
“Russian potato and wheat crops are blighted to nothing.”
Ukrainians typically eat a diet similar to Russians.
Ukraine depends on wheat exports.
Your plan would upset farm state US senators.
True. In which case Russia has nothing to worry about if the West starts making a million or two a year and gives them to the Ukes, along with detailed guidance and targeting assistance. Nothing to complain about at all.....unless they really won’t have much ability left to defend against them and shoot them down inside Russia. Millions of them. Everywhere important.
I think Putin stepped on his own dick here and is about to find out. Perhaps others in Russia will tire of the damage and shortages and the Putin will accidentally fall out of a 4 story window?
Seems like pitin has more control on ending this war. To reword the saying. If Russia laid down its arms there would be peace, if Ukraine lays down its arms it will cease to exist
“Attacking defense industry, refineries and air bases makes no sense because a Peeper says so.”
“air bases”
Styrofoam and aluminum foil are cheaper than a long-range drone.
Real planes can be dispersed into nearby forests.
Russia has roads that are straight and that run through forests.
“refineries”
The Russian military needs very little gasoline. It is lucky to advance ten miles in a month.
“defense industry”
Much of it is far away in the Urals.
It could be dispersed.
Take a look at the last 500 years of Russian history and you will begin to see why no one is going to overthrow Putin. The Russian people never had it so good. As good as western people? No. But head and shoulders better than anything their ancestors lived like in the past. The Romanovs the Bolsheviks inflicted severe suffering. Putin is not a Marxist but a nationalist. Hes someone we could work with to undermine the chinese. Instead we have married Russias vast resources with Chinas population and manufacturing capacity. If homegrown resources and manufacturing might plus the ability to field a massive army and massive navy wins wars then makes things tough for us. It’s marxists that push tranny fag nonsense and Putin opposes it.
Yes.
Accommodations would be made.
I prefer the ones that said Russia was self sufficient and needed no help…
Now they can’t even supply enough potatoes to their people grown in russia(probably because all the disposable farmers have been sent to the front to die), over 50% of arty comes from NK, Russian auto industry in collapse, Soviet legacy stockpile of weapons was inexhaustible….
Oldies but goodies
“I prefer the ones that said Russia was self sufficient and needed no help…”
I don’t think anyone claimed the above, but they’re probably close to 90% self-sufficient, and FAR CLOSER to 100% than the West (obviously).
“If Russia laid down its arms there would be peace, if Ukraine lays down its arms it will cease to exist.”
What would remain of Ukraine, if it does exist, will of course be another Client-State of the Neocons, answering to them. But if they had really wanted to keep most of their country, they should have told the Neocons to SHOVE IT with their obsession over Russia and instead work with Russia themselves.
They chose wrong. Certainly not the first country to do so - Vietnam and Afghanistan are a couple more.
“In which case Russia has nothing to worry about if the West starts making a million or two a year and gives them to the Ukes, along with detailed guidance and targeting assistance.”
Shotgun cartridges are about 40 cents each.
See Table 1(00 buckshot Unplated...40 yards):
https://brassfetcher.com/Shotguns/Maximum%20Effective%20Range/Buckshot.html
“The standard canister shot for the 12-pounder Napoleon consisted of 27 1.5-inch canister balls packed in sawdust, though this example contained more. The tin can disintegrated upon firing, dousing attacking infantry with the shot.”
“Private Michael Dunn of the 46th Pennsylvania lost both his legs to canister at the May 23, 1864, Battle of New Hope Church, Ga. Canister was most effective up to 200 yards, but could also be deadly at 400 yards, maximum range for this projectile.”
https://www.historynet.com/canister-and-grape-you-wouldnt-want-to-get-hit-with-either/
Metal balls will always be cheaper than drones.
Client state of neocons or client state of Russia
Any post invasion “peace agreement” would have lead to total annexation by Russia regardless of “agreement “
That has been and still is Putins dream
“”””I still don’t know which side to root for.””””
One side is North Korea and Russia, the other side is being trained, armed, and supported by President Trump, and by many dozens of our global friends and allies.
