Who cares how much territory or lives Ukraine loses daily, sociopathic Zeepers only care about hurting Russia.

You're as mentally ill as Lindsey Graham.

AI: How much refinery capacity exists in Russia? 5.5-5.6 million barrels/day

Russia’s domestic oil consumption — 3.6 million bpd. Production 9-10 million bpd. The rest exported, including some refined products.

The article says this refinery processes 4.8 million metric tons / year. The conversion to barrels is 7.2. So this is 34.6 million barrels Per Year. / 365 = 95K bpd, out of the 5.6 million above.

Important sentence: The refinery lies roughly 150 kilometers from Kazakhstan’s border and nearly 600 kilometers east of Ukraine’s front line. It has been targeted previously, including an Aug. 10 strike that reportedly forced operations to halt.

So it was repaired in about 1 month (which AI will confirm for typical refinery repair time).

So, there is talk of 20% refinery capacity loss. That is probably true as the sum of all loss events since 2022. Which are then restored in about 1 month.

These are media attacks. Not tactical or strategic.

Gee, poor Russia. Why would anybody want to hurt an invader?

If Russia has been doing so great, why hasn’t Putin taken all of Ukraine in 3 1/2 years? Why has Russia run out of gasoline? Everyone has seen the long lines. If Russia has been doing so well why do they target civilians each night instead of military? Why is the Black Sea void of any military ships if Russia is so strong?

I for one have no interest in “hurting Russia”, as in revenge, wishing harm to innocent civilians, etc.

However, my interest is in STOPPING Putin and his fellow gangsters. Far, far more is at stake than Ukraine.

As for Russia, Russia’s best bet, perhaps, would be a “Gorbachev” who is better at running things domestically than Goby was.
