Red Storm Rising....
0bama could drill here and drill now until the price of oil dropped and Russia would too.
Not likely 0bama would use the great American oil weapon.
I wonder if this is the beginning of a Red Storm Rising?A refinery fire was the reason for the fictional Soviet Attack on NATO from Tom Clancy’s book of the same name.
I guess well have to wait till the damage reports come out.
Hay neodad I some how missed your post and I was thinking the same thing.
That was an Excellant book by the way.
Great book. Tom Clancy was a prophet in many ways...
Russia’s main export is ENERGY.
The OBVIOUS easy US tactic —even for a risk-averse muzzie homo— would be to FRACK LIKE FRACKING CRAZY.
Will we?
Nope.
Hmmmm. You don’t say.
It was an “accident” just like most of the ones here!
putin doesn’t miss a trick.
The fire was triggered by an offensive YouTube video.
The future does not belong to those who slander petroleum.
How do you say “Payback” in Ukrainian?
That article is wrong. According to Reuters, the refinery only processes around 170,000 barrels per day. Not a small amount by any means, but not extremely large. Most west European nations have multiple refineries of that size.
I wonder if that refinery was also called the Reichstag refinery?
How does this translate into barrels/day?
It’s the refineries own web page. Google seems to do a good job translating...:^)
I call BS on the largest refinery claim.
