Plus destroy how many Russian industries?

I’ve been following the problem for the Russian air industry. The U.S., Canada, and Europe have basically closed off their airspace to Russian commercial aviation. Russia has closed its airspace to ‘unfriendly nations’. All of this means that Russian airlines are limited to domestic flights only. And they likely will be for many years.

Russia has basically stolen any foreign-owned aircraft in its territory. Many are wearing Aeroflot livery, but they are owned by companies in Europe and leased to the Russian airline. The seized airplanes will never be able to leave Russian airspace and will never be able to get technical support or parts for them again. And of course, the leasing companies will never lease planes to Russia again, or at least for a very long time.

A decent video of how bad this is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrTrpwzVt4g

This is one industry that is screwed because of the special operations in Ukraine. I find it hard to believe that there aren’t others. Are the “Russian” bits of Ukraine worth it? I’ll bet that there are some serious people that are very displeased with how this is playing out.

Sell your natural resources to the ChiComs at 30% discount.>>> I think Pooty gets a twofer. He can deal with one customer china, and get a premium on his stuff and now anything in ukraine. In the end i think China takes over moscow. It is funny that pooty doesn’t really care to have much to do with europe and would rather favor china.

The Putin Plan is impressive.
Possess a bombed out Ukraine.

They currently seem to have a huge deal with India to sell their oil at a 20% discount. Considering that the price of oil has more than doubled, even at a 20% discount on the doubled price tag, that is 60% more than the price just two years ago. Russia is making 60% more and we are paying over $4 at the pump, and that is only going up.
