Frontline report: 50% of Moscow’s fuel supply at risk after Ukrainian drone strike on its largest oil refinery
-
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
You had fucking 3 years to look for alternatives.
What alternatives do they have? We’re seeing Germanys economy in free fall, VW closing plants for the first time ever, because their only alternative is US LNG, which costs massively more than the energy they had been getting from Russia.

Russia’s days are not numbered.
Why do you think they aren't? It's not like revolution is unheard of there. Do you have any real reason, or just faith. I don't really think believing in things makes it true, or the world would be a much different place.

Because the revolution is not likely to happen anytime soon. Of course, I can be wrong.

Have you been following the news this past week?
Sure. Ukraine is retreating from the Kursk region, with minimal losses. Holding dirt doesn't win wars. Meanwhile they're making huge wins in east (not a ton of dirt, but destroying assets and soldiers), and these strikes into Russia on very strategically important assets.

Well, using the fuel is too, weakening russia on the other hand is great for it.
I mean I'm not defending Russia or anything. It just hurts me to see a thick black cloud covering the sky. Poor animals. Just shows how harmful fossil fuels are

It's producing no more polution than it would otherwise have produced when used in cars and for heating, only this way the polution is confined to were the guys who pumped it out knowing how bad it was for the Environment live.
It's about the fairest form of polution possible.
Some of the methods this might have been used in may have had some steps involved to reduce pollutants. The overall c02 though would be the same.

Summary
A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.
The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.
Schrödingers Russia is on the verge of collaps and about to conquer Europe for three years now

If only there was some massive ball of super heated plasma in the sky from which we could draw energy from, that also moved the atmosphere of the planet which would open another avenue of energy capture, which also happened to move vast quantities of heavy things like water uphill which would also be an opportunity for energy, or if the ground beneath us was warm enough to use for energy, or if there were shiny green rocks the ground that could be used for power.
Yup, surely there have been zero alternatives.

The Ukrainians are leaving on their own? Why are they leaving?
They got tired of killing koreans probably

Fossil gas was a minor energy source for germany and the eu. It was costly to replace 2 years ago but at this point the cost has been paid and the energy is sourced from other fuels.
The german car industry was bound to fall ever since they refused to research electric cars decades ago. Even before then they had been outsourcing but now they simply don't own the profitable part of electric cars - the battery and power-train.
With or without the war in ukraine they would be disappearing.
The overall german economy is fine, there is increasingly unequal distribution of wealth like many western nations in recent decades, but the economy is ok.Ps: I don't recall the numbers for germany, but pre 2022 the EU generated less than 20% of their energy with fossil gas, and less than 14% of their electricity. Germany had a higher ratio, but definitely less than a third.

Thank you for confirming Ukrainian soldiers are getting kicked out from Kursk.

Because many people in Crimea and in the eastern regions actually want to be under Russian influence.
That would be the Russians sent there to cause trouble as "separatists" right?

I don't know if you buy this, but Ukraine says it's part of the plan. That sounds like what Russia says. If you don't believe them, why do you believe what Russia says?
-
Wow you’re right, those are all totally viable as primary generation methods, and totally possible to set up in the 2 years since the war started on the scale needed to replace the pipelines you’ve been relying on for decades.
Redjard already explained this, the situation for Hungary is similar.

Why do you think that? Again, belief is useless. Do you have actual reasoning?

Or just people who have been living there.

I don't believe that withdrawing from Kursk because the Russians are gaining ground day after day is part of some sort of grand plan.

Why do you think that? Again, belief is useless. Do you have actual reasoning?
Why do you believe it's happening? Are you willing to bet the revolution will happen before the end of the year?
