Just nothing makes sense anymore. Everything else you said is spot on as well. Edited July 29 by ewsieg Quote
pfife Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I heard clip either on NPR or CSpan this morning where Loomer just outright admitted she was bamboozled by Russian propaganda and now realizes it. Im not sure if its genuine but it seemed like it. Quote

Im not sure if its genuine but it seemed like it. Orban was the vessel for a lot of cash for these "conservatives". Now, they can still get money from other places but not as easily. Its part of why the UK Reform party has stumbled a bit. The cash had to come from some knucklehead rich guy and not some "institute". Quote

Its just in front of the Urals That flare going overtime at the left of the image could mean they hit the 'cat' (catalytic) cracker. When that goes down, the excess gas from the crude stills (which take a long time to cool off) has to go somewhere - so it leads to a massive over flare. If you had been in Toledo in the days after the August 2003 blackout, you would have seen both refineries there flaring massively after the power failure knocked out their cat crackers. The other point worth making about Ukraine systematically hitting so many refineries, is that Russia is going to hit its infrastructure limits. As more are damaged the repair times are going to start stacking up linearly -the specialized fabrication and construction equipment and expertise needed to do the repair work is a limited resource, which is no doubt already at capacity - they likely will not have the resources to be able work on more than a few of them at a time. Repair capacity should improve as they go, but that will take time. And of course Ukraine will stillbe hitting them. Edited August 1 by gehringer_2 Quote

I'm of the opinion that panacea targets exist but I don't think they remove Putin by themselves. (Unless they kill him of course). The value of panacea targets are that they make it very very hard for Putin to win. If he isn't winning his entire reason to be Czar of Russia is gone. Edited August 1 by romad1 Quote

romad1 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Lipetsk isn't that far into Russia like the drone attacks have been. Its just a bit past the furthest extent of territory that Germany captured in 1941. Quote
