Frontline report: 50% of Moscow’s fuel supply at risk after Ukrainian drone strike on its largest oil refinery

Have you been following the news this past week?
Perhaps you may want to diversify on those that are feeding propaganda to you
-
This is not at comparable with the US invasion of Afghanistan.
...because the aggressor has the outdated equipment?
-
No, they don’t. Ukraine is about to get kicked out from Kursk and lose the little leverage they had in the negotiations.
Do you think invading a sovereign country is ok? What are your thoughts on bombing childrens’ hospitals?

Sure, do you have a source from this past week claiming Ukraine is not losing ground in Kursk?
-
...because the aggressor has the outdated equipment?
Because many people in Crimea and in the eastern regions actually want to be under Russian influence.

No, of course not, but I’m not the one making the rules.

And there are ways for them to get that. For instance, about 200,000 Afghans resided or immigrated to America between 2000 and 2021. What was stopping those in Crimea from doing the same? And we haven't even addressed if that "many" is actually a majority.

The opposite is happening, people who want to remain under Ukrainian influence are moving to the regions still under Ukrainian control.

It was supposed to be Russian dominance "from Vladivostok to Lisbon" as Putin's grand political philosopher put it and various Russian Politicians very publicly stated, and here we are 2 years after the "3 day Special Military Operation started" and Russia is still stuck in Donbas with almost 1 million casualties, their massive stocks of Soviet Unions weapons severely depleted and their enemy has developed their own advanced weapons and is increasingly destroying the Oil and Gas infrastructure they rely on to pay for the War and dominating the airspace near the front lines using drones.
Putin's Russia is like the obese guy who loudly claims "I'm in perfect shape", goes out "to run a marathon" and after about about 500m is already totally out of breath and barely moving.
This whole thing proved Russia's hard power was the emperor who had no clothes.
Otoh, the last decade has also proven their soft power is basically a world beater.
And their soft power is as great as it is because they know how to appeal to the absolute worst vile filth in every society, from their centuries of experience managing Russian culture.

Good job russia, they finally achieved something... like 6 months later... and with the ukrainians leaving on their own.. but we have to give them something, right?
Fuck russia

What I heard was, "The people who don't want to be under Russian influence or live under wartime conditions are moving to the regions that aren't engaged in military occupation."

Fuck russia
The Ukrainians are leaving on their own? Why are they leaving?

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.
