More for Pooty to get a stroke over. To get more severe Parkinson’s shakes over. Who will his FSB goon squads arrest now?
“Heads will roll!” Says Vlad Putin
Sure hope they weren’t using American missiles or bombs. Maybe it’s time to yank our support if Elinskyy is trying to start WWIII instead of using them to defend Ukraine. If this story is even true, of course.
Oil depot? Or refined petroleum, specifically gasoline and diesel?
Unrefined oil would not be supporting the Donbas offensive. At least not directly. Gasoline and diesel could be.

Tomahawk cruise missiles???
Putin was ridiculous to fear Nato in Ukraine. 250 klicks from Moscow? Big deal. (S)
“Tomahawk cruise missiles???”
Perhaps a few antitank missiles? Plus some RPGs. Hit at just the right places. Anyways, as Cheech and Chong say -— UP in SMOKE!
Could have been a $100 drone with some C4 and a remote control detonator. Those Ukrainians know how to improvise and overcome. :)
Stoopid Pooty Poot should not have poked the Ukraine bear.
All glory to Putin's victorious armies!
Regards,
Could be the start of Cyber WW1.
Must have been Joe Biden, George Soros, Bette Midler...
Putin’s army has been fighting only in the third world for a generation - coming up against first world weapons and tactics has to be a shock.
Actually two generations if you include Putin’s Generals who fought in the Soviet War in Afghanistan.
The article photo caption states this oil facility is 70 miles (not kilometers) north of the Ukrainian border. Holy Smokes !!! The pics show two widely separate fires so it is no industrial accident. The strikes must have been by sophistcated, probably GPS guided, missiles or very large, fast, and expensive drones.
[Sure hope they weren’t using American missiles or bombs.]
CIA is earning its keep. But watch out—this is a game Russia can play as well.
