I have been in the oil industry for many decades. Nothing about our production or refining infrastructure is 'hardened' for combat conditions.  It's pretty much the same everywhere, and always has been.
Think Kuwait during the Gulf War.




Even the refinery complex at Ploesti was not a hardened target--if you could get bombs on it you'd do damage. Getting them there was the trick, as the area had more 88s than Berlin for air defense. The five refineries were also joined by pipelines which could bypass one or more of the others so product would still get through as long as one complex was capable of operating.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The ruzzian government bans export of gasoline because it cannot meet internal demands.

"Ardent Russophobia"? The Holodomor and decades of culture-cide by Russia are bearing bitter fruit.

Ukraine could "cease to exist" in 2025? Doubtful. Ukrainians seem strangely determined not to be enslaved again by Russia. Putin thought he would celebrate Easter 2022 in Kyiv. 2025 looks likely to be another year he won't.

Volodymyr Tretyak 🇺🇦
@VolodyaTretyak
"Putin is the new Hitler" - Russian historian and dissident Alexander Skobov said his final words in the trial today, and I can't agree more.

Full speech:

"I was raised in the Soviet Union with the conviction that when a malicious and cruel aggressor attacks peaceful people, one must take up arms and fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon yourself, you must help those who fight and encourage others to do so.

All my publicistic activity is a call to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to support Ukraine with weapons and ammunition. I consider myself a participant in the armed resistance against the aggressor. In the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders, there is a small contribution from me. And I take responsibility for every eliminated occupier.

No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it.
It is Putin’s Nazi regime that attacked Ukraine, driven solely by the delusions of grandeur of its leaders and their inhuman lust for power over everyone around them.

They assert themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are degenerates, scum, Nazi filth.

The guilt of Putin's Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance against the aggressor on the battlefield and in the aggressor's rear needs no justification. Indeed, it would be laughable to expect such acknowledgment from a regime that imprisons people merely for verbally condemning its aggression. All possibilities for legal protest against Putin's aggression have been eradicated.

My calls for armed resistance against the aggressor’s regime are classified under terrorism charges. I will not argue with the aggressor's authorities, even if they decide to classify my actions under charges of pedophilia. The court in Russia has long proven itself to be an appendage of Nazi tyranny, and seeking justice there is meaningless. I will never bow before these people – accomplices of murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to discuss with them. Let the cannons speak for me.

I see no point in arguing with the dictatorship’s puppets about how faithfully they apply their laws. These are, in any case, the laws of a totalitarian state aimed at suppressing dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not obey them.

I also will not appeal against any decisions or actions of the representatives of the Nazi regime. I do not seek mercy from my armed enemy.

The Putin dictatorship may kill me, but it cannot force me to abandon my fight against it. Wherever I may be, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I will continue to advocate for strikes on military targets deep within Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will argue for the necessity of the military destruction of the regime of the new Hitler.

Putin is the new Hitler, intoxicated by impunity, a ghoul drunk on blood. And I will not tire of repeating: “Crush the serpent!”

Death to Putin, the murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel!
Death to the Russian-fascist invaders!
Glory to Ukraine!"

Putin is likely planning a February offensive. It's a Russian tradition.

African troops 'forced to Ukraine frontlines' while Russians stay in camp

A large number of Africans have joined the Russian army since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. While some have voluntarily taken up arms via private companies under contract with the Kremlin, others were lured by false promises. One Cameroonian, who thought he was going to Russia to work as a caretaker, reveals the extent of this human trafficking.

17/01/2025 - 18:17

"Tomorrow, they want us to go on a suicide mission. I'm going to drop the gun so I don't have to go. I'll probably be tortured and sent to prison, but I'd rather save my life."

This was one of the last messages Samuel (first name changed) sent RFI, in mid-December.

A few weeks earlier, when we first made contact with him, he was in the infirmary of his unit's camp in a region of eastern Ukraine, which we will not specify for security reasons. He was suffering yet another injury, having recently also been treated in a military hospital for a serious arm wound, following a drone attack.

But, Samuel told us: "Here, as soon as we can walk, they send us to the front. And the Africans are on the front line. The Russians stay in the camp, sending the blacks and internationals to the front to occupy and advance. But every time we win, there's a cost, especially the mines, which decimate us."

‘A trip to the valley of the shadow of death'

Samuel's story began in May 2024. Trained as a scientist and having worked for the Ministry of Lands, Cadastre and Land Affairs in Cameroon, he received a call from one of his friends  .  .  .

There will need to be a lot of good guys in Russia to kill all the bad guys who need killing.

Forgive me if I believe the number of good Russian men could be numbered only in double digits.

Trump will become POTUS in just over one day.

HE WILL NOT END THIS WAR IN 24 HOURS AS PROMISED.  2025 maybe, but I doubt that.  Something not right about Putin mentally.  Makes it hard for Trump to negotiate with a man not all there.
