  4. They’d rather starve their own than stop fuelling the war machine

  5. I recognize a couple knowledgeable posters here so wanted to ask:

    1) Is it correct that Russia has a pipeline thru which The ‘Stans ship oil out and for which Russia takes a cut AND

    2) If so wouldn’t it be in China’s interest to sponsor a pipeline from The ‘Stans into China?

  6. Cutting oil output is actually really really bad for them. Quite a bit of Russia’s oil comes from very cold remote places. This is subject to freezing and other failures if they are not actively in use. This happened when the USSR collapsed and it took western firms and investment to get it all back up and running. This can’t happen now. They might not be able to turn it all back on even if their refineries are repaired to full capacity.

  7. Who are these sources? $9/gal gas and long lines indicate it’s already cut.

  9. So next assault waves will be a mix of e-scooters and horses?

  10. Now if Poland 🇵🇱 sends some drones back we can use up their air defenses. And potentially open up deeper strikes for Ukrainian drones. While showing the world sending drones into polish airspace will get drones sent back . The Russian cannot handle more people to fight . The west needs to untuck its tale and mount mother Russia properly.

  12. normal countries have underground storage in huge chambers cut in stone with capacity of millions of tons. I guess Russia doesn’t have those 😀
