3/6 – 🔥 Burned by Rising Costs Gas prices in Russia are up ~50% since January, hitting the equivalent of $10/gal in places. With average wages around ₽88k–99k ($980–$1,113), fuel now eats a painful share of income—turning a simple commute into a financial burden.
4/6 – 🇺🇸 Why the U.S. Stays Quiet Washington doesn’t cheer. A Russian fuel collapse could rattle global markets. Trump, like Biden, blocks long-range strikes, so Ukraine built its own. The question: how will refinery attacks hit India & China, Russia’s top fuel buyers?
As far as I understood, China and India buy oil and they refine it, so the attacks to the refineries does not affect export of raw oil. It does indeed push Russia to put even more oil in the market because they can’t process it at home in rising the output but killing the margins.
5/6 – 🕳️ The Bottomless Pit Cracks Ration coupons, halted sales, ‘emergency only’ refuelling, the myth of Russia’s limitless reserves is collapsing. Refinery losses hit its army hard: slowing logistics, limiting air power, forcing reliance on Iran & China. Ukraine is striking the war machine itself.
6/6 – 🚀 The War Comes Home Ukraine’s drones don’t just hit refineries—they expose Russia’s fragility. Queues, rationing & anger show how striking Putin’s economy reshapes the war. A collapsing Russia could see Mariupol return without a shot. Why stop now?
J'y crois pas une seconde, excès de pessimisme ! Mais c'est une composante indispensable !
Thanks Shaun! If Russia and Putin fall, it will have fallout for dumb dumb here. It's never a good look to refuse to help the winning team.
Well, at least sombody would need to walk all the illigal immigrants back to the border. I heared in Mariupol they have a lot of them.
Exactly!
Just imagine for a second how much more devastation would happen if the U.S. were to slightly increase its pressure on Russia. They thought Kyiv would fall in a day.
