Washington Is Helping Ukraine Hit Russia Where It Hurts Most—Its Oil Economy

1. Snippet from this article: The United States has been providing Ukraine with intelligence on vulnerabilities in Russia’s energy infrastructure to support long-range drone strikes, according to Financial Times (FT).

   The information-sharing effort reportedly intensified over the summer and is described as a coordinated attempt to weaken Russia’s economy and pressure leader Vladimir Putin to negotiate.

   According to FT, US intelligence has supplied Kyiv with detailed data on the most vulnerable points of Russia’s refineries and other energy facilities located far beyond the front line.

   The data enabled Ukraine to plan drone flight routes, altitudes, and timing to avoid Russian air defenses. Three individuals familiar with the operation told the paper that Washington has been closely involved in every stage of the planning process.

2. Didn’t NATO always say that something like that couldn’t be done because it would mean becoming an active party to the war? I don’t know enough about it, but isn’t that also the reason why Germany isn’t delivering Taurus? It’s somewhat worrying for a layperson who doesn’t know much about it.

3. China, North Korea and Iran are helping Russia, one if them with actual soldiers. No way Ukraine could defend near as good as they have without support from bigger nations.

4. There’s a report out today that found EU consumption of Russian oil has actually gone up in 7 countries in EU in 2025 including in France. You talk to people in these countries and they’ll tell you they can’t realistically get it anywhere else including Norway.

   There’s also no sizeable decrease in US purchases of critical nuclear materials from Russia and Exxon Mobil wants to get back into Russia. This is wishful thinking/ propaganda.

5. I feel like I have been watching Putin all my life and he hasn’t aged. Is it possible his corpse is on ice and it is body doubles we are seeing?
