The Micaboys go to Russia.
That looks like the Baddie's stealth ship from Tomorrow never dies. Madness.
Keep hitting the refineries seems like a good strategy.
Yes, don’t give them a chance to rebuild them.
If i'd a euro for every time i'd read a "Russia is running out of….." headline i'd be a very wealthy man right now.
You don't dust down your old post-WW2 stock of armoured vehicles because your army's in rude logistical health. "Russia's running out of" never means one day they're gonna have zero, but it's about dwindling resources to the point the war becomes too costly to continue.
April 1944:
If I had a reichmark for every time I read “Third Reich is running out of…”
May 1945: 😮
Part of it's poor journalism. Conducting armoured assaults with 1950s era near stock equipment and Chinese manufactured Golf Carts/UTVs is not a positive sign for a military force.
Aside from the military hammering they were taking in Afghanistan, it was the prospects of bankruptcy that made them stop their war there and pull out. Same thing will happen now, Russian society (not to mention infrastructure) is slowly disintegrating.
If Putin was USSR leader instead of Gorbachev at the time, I doubt they would have withdrawn. Putin would sooner take down the entire country.
I think its only way. If all the leeches in russian society stop getting their free money from the oil industry, because of putins war, putin wlll get the bullet and the war might stop. Oil revenue is russias lifeblood now more than ever, their entire society is structured around it and the enormous wealth generated from it has been stolen and squandered by an elite few.
They do need to be wary that it might backfire. Oil prices are going up and that attacks on Russian infrastructure are likely feeding into that. Will Russia be able to capitalise on the increased price? Time will tell.
How can Russia capitalise if they become a net importer of refined oil products?
Exactly. Meanwhile the USA and other oil companies will be milking it. Russia likely to miss out on the boom. I hope Ukraine keep targeting their refineries for the next few years.
Germany was blamed for starting both world wars but stuff happened before each of these wars which provoked Germany. For example, before the first world war, Britain and the US illegally blockaded German ships. And the second world war was the consequence of what the allies dictated to Germany at Versailles.
Given that we know world wars get started by provocation, why was NATO expanded to Russia`s borders? Why was the Minsk agreement reneged upon? Why did the US unilaterally withdraw from the nuclear non proliferation treaty? Why was there a Biden backed biological weapons plant in Ukraine, right on the border with Russia? Why did the west back a coup to overthrow the legitimately elected government of Ukraine in 2014?
If the war does spread far beyond Ukraine and impacts me and my family, I will be blaming our leaders and NOT our Russian friends.

His analysis is ah, unusual.
Election year, so Biden won't want the oil prices to go too high. Imagine the Ukrainians can leverage their situation for further deliveries from the West.
They're your "friends" if:

At first slowly, then suddenly.
There claiming the famous blyatmobile tank is no more
some Kadirov pigs roasted apparently.
On the other hand the Ukrainians have also been talking pretty loudly about running low on important stocks and that they're anticipating a Russian offensive soon and very much preparing defences.
It seems both countries are struggling with a lot right now
sure Vladimir, sure…whatever you say. On the other hand 9th of may sh1t parade date is approaching, are you participating this year too?
Warned for this post.
”We need to be breeding”
On Russian tv they are calling for more school age pregnancy’s
Yes. The only way Ukraine will be able to take advantage of Russia running short of anything is if they start getting backed fully by the US again.
Unfortunately that still does not look any closer, Ukraine was barely getting enough support before the US pulled the plug. Without US support, the longer the war goes on the harder it will be for Ukraine to hold Russia off.
As of right now the US has abandoned it's ally in Ukraine, I just hope that sense prevails and they are able to sort something out before it's too late.
There all completely bonkers 🤣🤣🤣
We need more births to boost the population.
Never mind the needles waste of Russian lives in Ukraine, never mind the thousands of people emigrating or put in prison.
No no, the answer is for more children to get pregnant.
An entire panel of (middled-aged?) men declaring Russian children should start breeding children & stop using contraception; nothing wrong or depraved about that. Obviously the demographics crisis is something understood and in the open.
No wonder the MAGA/GOP are down for these guys; they're also similarly inclined when it comes to women as nothing but wombs from as early an age as possible.
Yes and the net effect is that the war will slow down a bit.
