Trump wanted to stop this Madness, but Zelensky does not want Peace.
Fight to the last Ukie Male.
We can agree/disagree with WAY things went last week. But Trump/Vance were absolutely right. Ukraine has no leverage right now. They won’t be able to take back what they’ve lost and are at risk of losing it all. The fact that Zman still has his head and a blue and yellow flag is a win. Time to settle this and stop the insanity before that Fred Thompson moment from Red October becomes fact.
900 mile range? Musta been put together nearby.
sweet!
I have been saying since the start this is what Ukraine needs to do, it would take a decade to rebuild a refinery. Take them all out and Russia is crippled beyond Putins lifespan.
It’s a sure bet Putin will respond, and it ain’t gonna be pretty. Zelenskyy is a fool. This war will not end without the U.S. European countries will hem and haw, twiddle their thumbs and Ukraine will fall.
Z is a stupider grifting moron than he appeared to be in the Oval Office.
This is the desperate act of a megalomaniac psychopath. Could not pick a worse time.
He desires Death, Destruction and Money.
Your Money.
He also wants to destroy Trump’s chance of finding peace.
It’s time for the little Green Tshirt actor to exit stage right. Get the hook.
Europe will be stepping to the front of the line with 250 billion euros, and boots. Lots of boots. And the Piano man will draw the Russian fire on someone else’s dime and military.
Possibly. A few drones launched from nearby (say 100 miles or so). There are quite a few interesting scenarios...
Maxipad is active this morning after being so quiet over the Weekend.
That’s it, Russia lost.
What little dictator doink?
Someone is telling Zelinsky he can win.
The war has been pretty much a stalemate for two years.
Is the European Union telling Zelinski he can win the war by attriting Russia?
They could be saying: “Look at the Soviet Union. When Afghanistan got bad enough for them they pulled out!
I think the war is horrible for both Ukraine and Russia.
In my view, the big winner is China. I have to wonder if China is encouraging the Europeans to push to continue the war.
Thanks. Somehow I never learned to post pix.
Information:
1) When you see something Russian that says “neft” that refers to oil. “gas” is gas. GAZPROM is their super duper gas company, but there is a division of GAZPROM that is GAZPROMneft. Rosneft is their big oil company (publicly traded, but 51% of the shares are Russian govt).
2) The Russians measure their oil flow in tonnes. Vs barrels. There is some merit beyond mere preference or metric this or that. Barrels are a measure of volume. A barrel is 42 gallons. But all oil is not created equal and some barrels weigh more tonnes than others — because they have more dense oil than others. Rule of thumb conversion is 7. 7 barrels per tonne.
3) The article says this refinery processes 168,000 barrels/day. This is pretty much nothing. The largest refinery in the world is in India and it processes 1.5 million barrels/day. One can be sure that the article will be updated to show a bigger number than 168K, regardless of repairs.
semi typo. 7 barrels per ton. the following 7 was a new sentence of needless repetition
That’s some good stuff that you’re smoking.
