The price of oil is back down from the stratosphere and Smokin' Joe will have the pump price of gasoline back down in time for the election.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Unconfirmed report that another Russian warship has been struck by a Ukrainian missile…
https://sofrep.com/news/nyet-again-anot ... e-missile/
Reports coming from Ukraine state that the Russian navy Frigate, Admiral Makarov has been hit by a missile and is on fire near Snake Island in the Black Sea. The video below shows what it reported to be the frigate on fire and adrift while being filmed by the helicopter orbiting the vessel.
There are unconfirmed reports as this is being written that short burst morse code transmissions are being received saying,

I'd love to hear you state your case as to why this invasion isn't 100% on Putin. It hard to believe that you still think anybody would swallow your bullshit given all the real time information available to the public that proves you have no idea wtf you're talking about. Did you not check out the osi sources that CID sourced for you? The amount of ice needed to cool that burn would raise the sea level 10'
And I still at the thought of Cid rage quitting because people didn't believe him and his "intel".

Giddy? Naw. Anyone with a brain knew Ukraine had no chance at a conventional war without US/NATO boots on the ground or enforcement of a no fly zone against Russia. The only people surprised are the people that bought into the "Ukraine is winning" narratives. The longer this draws on, the weaker hand Ukraine has in negotiations with Russia.
Better question you should be asking is who is encouraging Ukraine to fight on and why.

Why do you keep throwing out this straw man? At least you’ve acknowledged that war crimes against civilians are happening so I guess that’s a start
Nobody is sending our troops to Ukraine. It has been said over and over that we are releasing intelligence to try to pre-empt Putin from using chemical weapons. Before, it was to try to pre-empt him from using a false flag to invade in the first place.
Nobody is trying to get us into a shooting war with Russia except retired or unemployed talking heads on CNN with zero policy pull.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
While Ukraine may not be doing as well as some think they are definitely exposing the Russian military for the paper tiger that it is. Russia may have nukes but they're a 2nd world country at best.SDHornet wrote:Eh, Russia's military capabilities were always much greater than Ukraine's.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Someone should probably review some of their postwar history. Replete with examples of developing countries holding off nuclear powers.
Ukraine doesn't need boots on the ground. Zelenskiy hasn't been begging for US or NATO troops, he has been pleading for equipment.

I saw a similar map. Russia has limited industrial power and this is not sustainable. Chinese tech companies are also threatening to cut off relations.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
I don't condone this kind of thing, I don't think you need to assault someone to get a message across. With that said, how did this guy or his staff not realize that this was possible, actually probable, if he came to such a public event like this, in Poland (who already doesn't like Russia), when that country is taking in millions of refugees from a war that your country started? So dumb.

Dude. They're doing it right now. Russian morale is in the toilet according to intercepted transmissions; they're monkeywrenching their own tanks to avoid battle.
