devilcSo we're all seeing in the news about long lines at gas pumps in Russia due to Ukraine's drone strikes destroying/damaging so many refineries.
The real blow hasn't landed yet.
Russia moves a shit-ton of stuff by train. Trains that need diesel.
And winter is coming. Where is the fuel oil for the boilers going to come from?
'Nuff said.

Date: 2026-07-10 04:02 pm (UTC)It is a lovely thing to see. And allegedly the Orange Shitstain has given UKR permission to build Patriot missiles. I'm really not sure that's a good idea to divert resources for them, their current drone strategy is extremely effective.
The thing that I really love is that with all of the strikes that Russia has done against Ukraine's energy infrastructure, I feel it's only appropriate that Russia feels a cold winter.

They had no say in voting Putin in (unlike in the US elections, as the US wasn't a fascist police state then) but it's the ordinary people who'll pay the price for Putin's fascist power grab.
Ukraine is paying a terrible price and I'm rooting for them to eventually win. I'm just sorry that so many oppressed people in Russia will also suffer.
