...and yet, after each round of “major strikes”, the war goes on and on, with Russia rolling up more and more territory.
“Novokuybyshevsk”
What a name.
Just a guess that Trump has given them the green light for these strikes.
Tariffs focus on oil. Strikes focus on oil.
Here’s a general observation that apparently will drive certain people wild.
President Trump did everything to pressure Ukraine and court Russia to the peace table.
Putin is a crazy dictator and probably only cares when his own life or power is on the line.
Now he’s caused Trump to begin to engage two powerful forces - one is Trump himself. The other is the economic, diplomatic and military might of the United States.
While some silly people think we can do “nothing” to Russia, quite the contrary is true.
I doubt Putin gives a damn about Russia or its people. So maybe his position will be threatened. Maybe someone will finally toss him out a window.
I have no prediction but Trump has been engaged, and he will compromise but he will not back down.
And btw the people who said, two years ago, that they guaranteed the war was going to end in two weeks, are idiots or liars or both and have lost all credibility.
“Russian oil refineries are back on the menu.”
Russia exports crude oil as ships are designed to take only one type of bulk hydrocarbon.
The Chinese and Indians have their own refineries.
Whoa! She blowed up real good.
I feel like both sides are scorpions and we are the frog trying to decide which one to give a ride over the river.
Penza is about 300 miles NE of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Novokuybyshevsk is on the Volga near Samara.
It is about 400 miles ENE of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
When is YouCrayne going to get out of their defensive positions, go on offense
and take their territory back from Ruzzia?
You just love posting the UK’s anti-Russia propaganda all day every day. Ukraine is on its last legs and will require NATO manpower if this continues. Is that what you want?
“Another key oil refinery in Ryazan - crucial for supplies to capital city Moscow - was also in flames.”
Russia tends to move things in bulk by rail. The refined products probably came into the Moscow by railcar.
Railcars will simply bring in refined products from other oil refineries.
The macho war of nuclear-ratchet-chat-itis.
