Ukraine is stepping up attacks on Russian energy – and it’s working

1. Good! Keep it up Ukraine, the Russian central bank has done a great job so far but short of magic (and by their own words) they’re running out of options.

   Curious to see if they actually do need to cut the military budget next year like Putin said.

2. There’s just something magic about seeing russian oil refineries burning, so let’s just hope Ukraine picks up the pace! Just a few year ago they were mocking the West which was supposedly “freezing” during winder without their gas, now we came to the point where that very petrostate is experiencing gasoline shortages lmaoo

3. It’s working to raise energy prices for the many countries that depend on Russian energy infrastructure for power they can afford, at prices other European countries refuse to sell them at. I’m not sure what Ukraine’s long-term strategy is here…to alienate many of its neighbors who previously had no beef with Ukraine *or* Russia? Picking their pockets and destabilizing their energy supplies for their own war?

   Zelenskyy has explicitly stated that he wants Ukraine to be a “big Israel”. On that front, he’s nailing “zero accountability for any of their actions, destabilizing infrastructure for multiple countries, endless weapons supplies from western liberal democracies, and unrestrained doting PR from western media”. I guess all he needs to complete his goal of being Israel is to do a genocide an ethnicity he hates.

4. It is certainly a timed and orchestrated action we even see cruise missile production and ballistics production likely timed for this. The ballistic rocket facilities were claimed lost however those would have been required to destroy difficult targets even anti-air sites and air bases, semi-hard targets like refineries and other targets for good.

   Ukraine has been – analysts also say this; conducting strikes with limited effectiveness with available weapons, but these have merely caused fires that are put out or the damage has been repaired in a short time or caused the loss of a small amount of secondary equipment. They need weapons that can destroy all the secondary and primary equipment in a refinery for example to shut them down for a long time.

5. Thus the Ukraine initiated infrastructure war v3.0 continues. Just in time for the upcoming winter.

   Russia will retaliate and knock out another portion of whatever Ukraine has left still running, and Zelensky will once again come out on the world stage to claim more completely unprovoked, aggressive, inhumane attacks on civilian infrastructure and that Russia doesn’t really want peace, despite the peace talks charade they are entertaining with Trump; so give them more sanctions and give Ukraine more money and weapons.

   There have also been a synchronized orchestra of “Ukraine is not weak” statements coming out across western media in one form or another in the last couple of days. These attacks are meant to be physical proof of those statements, with no regards to the cost or consequences that the country itself and its people are going to incur for it. Why are these statements needed? To convince Trump that Ukraine is still in the game, and make him change his mind about the “balance of power” during the ongoing “peace negotiations”.

   Ultimately none of that changes anything when it comes to Russia’s progress and gains on the front line; which will continue grinding down Ukrainian armed forces (which are at around 30% fighting capacity) until no cohesive defence can be put up any longer, and which point everything is just going to collapse and no amount of “at this rate they’ll be in Kiyv in 25 years” arguments are going to help.

   All these tricks and roadblocks on the path to cessation of hostilities (whichever form those might take) are going to do is buy more time for even more money to be stolen, more of Ukraine turned to ruin, and even more of their people violently grabbed from the streets, thrown on the front lines and killed.

   Nobody in the west has an actual plan for how to end all of this. Everything they do is just delay and postpone, and hope things somehow work out themselves, or a meteorite lands on Putin’s head or something.
