I have been saying that if Zelensky sends drones to destroy infrastructure in Russia they will not like the reply.

So whine away, by all means but as long as Zelensky keeps making futile attacks on Russia Putin will keep sending an unpleasant reply.

Who started the war again?

we all know what's going on with Trump BS , lies and fake deals, he claimed it would take 24 hours for make peace deal, it has been more than 100 days and the carnage continues, give the russian dictator an ultimatum and a dead line to stop wasting time and if he doesn't comply let the Ukrainians lash out the big guns

Now parroting Putin's propaganda for him? "If Zelensky keeps making futile attacks on Russia, Putin will bomb more children!"  When, did I ever mention Zelinsky?

 

But the calculus has changed. On Friday as global oil prices crashed to $62/bl, sources noted this dooms Putin's highly discounted Ural exports to ~$50/bl, where its hard to see how Putin makes money. 

 

Then woops, it dropped again today! Whoever he's killing now it may be out of desperation. The game has changed.

So global oil prices "crashed"  Putin doomed  he won't have any oil to  fuel his economy, industries and military production stop immediately  and Ukraine is victorius.

 

P.S its the other war where women, children ,doctors and journalists are bombed in hospitals and schools.

Seriously? I'm not going to respond to obvious baiting.

If you want to make pointless posts, don't quote me to enable them.

You shouldn't quote me if you are not going to address what I said and instead go off on something completely different.

You guys have been saying for 2 years that Putin has no money, no missiles, no tanks, no men, all proven to be a nonsense, just as your oil price claim is.

I assume you mean the war in the ME, where doing what Putin is doing is somehow acceptable to the posters complaining about Putin on here.

Ukraine is reporting 50% of its targets are hit by drones. Russian military sources say 75% of their casualties are due to drones.

Road of death to get 500mls of water to a Russian soldier. 500mls is judged all the water a soldier will need before being liquidated.

How battle field technlogy is evolving. The Russians countered Ukrainian Western-supplied jamming systems by employing fiber-=optic controlled drones, so much so, that the field are awash with fiberoptic cables. But due to Ukrainian drone activity,  Russian drone operators are in faxed positions; the Ukrainian drones go for anything that moves. Technology is being employed to trace back the cables to the source

 

 

 

 

Russia has a single factory, at Saransk, making fiber optic cable. At least this is what the manufacturer claimed:

Factory is now up in flames. Oops.

Russia’s elite could remove President Vladimir Putin from power if oil prices drop to a critically low level, stated political strategist Taras Zahorodnii in a commentary to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel.

“Look, rail transport is declining there. That means things aren't going so well economically. Their defense and war expenses are higher than those of the Soviet Union. If oil prices fall below $30, that would be a very favorable scenario for us,” he emphasized.

Russian elite may depose Putin if oil prices collapse, analyst says
