Perhaps Putin will start having Trump pump their gas for them
Perhaps Putin will start having Trump pump their gas for them
Excellent.
Woe to the empires. All of them.
🙏👍🙏👏
This news is like a shot of caffeine.
Lemme guess. Trump will give them some from the strategic oil reserves.
Russia is experiencing a growing gasoline shortage and price spike in August 2025 due to numerous Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil refineries, which have taken a significant portion of refining capacity offline. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Once again, the people suffer for the actions of their government leaders.
I have no fucks left to give when it comes to Russia. Karma is a bitch and she has come to collect
I'm willing to bet they still find fuel for tanks.
They mentioned it in the article. Most military vehicles use diesel which is less flammable, and whose engines tend to have more torque.
Too much used by military? I know a solution.🤔
Excellent news.
These are the best form of sanctions... destroy their refinery infrastructure and the economy will collapse in weeks.
Fascists suck at governance.
Well Steve good you got job with the BBC. They can pay for your gas!!
LOL= = serves A**hole Dictator, Small man Putin right
I hope they all freeze this winter.
It's a dictator run mafia state. You thought they care about people? The ones in charge? Come on dude.
"Their own problem," much like America's, is that at some point, they saw fit to put a dictatorial psychopath in command of the whole nation. Literally everything that follows is the fault and the responsibility of the people.
They've had a few centuries of that. I'd argue Gorbachev was the one who wasn't.
The same can be said for us, though our orange-head in chief is inflicting pain & suffering on others + us. An equal-opportunity bully, that one.
Perfect let them rebel from within and take out their dictator
Putin, like Trump, will use every method he can to distract and deflect exactly how evil his activities are.
I guess exporting all your oil wealth so that you can invade Ukraine wasn’t a good idea.
A country literally sitting with their asses on oil & gas Well deserved!
Good!!
To steal from @darthputinkgb.bsky.social “I remain a master strategist”
fafo…
Fuck Russia.
Long overdue! We want Russia to suffer for what they’ve done.
It's all coming to a head
So the gas station masquerading as a nation is out of gas? Send beans!
Not even their citizens freezing to death will stop them from giving a crap
not giving*
But the citizens will care. Those that don't freeze to death can overthrow Putin.
Ukraine hit a big refinery. Russians need to feel some pain.
I'm sure Putin has access to all the gas he personally wants. He couldn't care less about this.
Phasers on heavy stun indeed, but I'm not sure if that's enough to thaw their frozen hearts.
Makes you wonder how much gas they are wasting while sitting in those lines...
Absolutely!
If they retreated they'd solve their problem pretty quickly
There’s a thought!!!💭
ZERO empathy towards Russia. FUK PUTIN & his fking forever war. FUK PEDOfuhrer too & his unqualified regime of misfits.🤬 Leave Ukrainians alone. RIP 🇺🇦
Putin’s sidekick-the -$Conman-in-Chief- will help Putin out. Hard to believe that the person the $Conman-in-Chief admires the most - and speaks more highly about than any other person on the planet - is a murderous dictator.
When new FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile gets into full production, Russia will be brought to its knees. missilematters.substack.com/p/the-flamin...
Meanwhile they are exporting oil everywhere they can to pay for Putin’s imperial folly.
No sympathy here. Lesson needs to be learnt if they can think for themselves
Phasers on heavy stun!
Autocrats and authoritarians never focus on the people. People now really need to know and remember that.
Good!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Well done, Ukraine! 👏👏👏👏 Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t seen it.
Slava Ukraine!! 💪🏻 🇺🇦
Good
THIS IS AWESOME NEWS💯👏🏻🙌🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸🫂👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps Russia should stop exporting oil, as they don't seem to have enough for their own needs.
I feel for 'em but I can't quite reach 'em. Who am I kidding? Down with Russia. All the way down.
THANKS, GEORGE!!! 💪👍
F**k Russia is the response that comes to mind.
Slava Ukraini🇺🇦👏
I’ll pretend to be sad (Not)
They can always purchase their fuel from the U.S. I’m sure President Trump can work out some sort of deal. (SARCASM ALERT)
Reaping what they sow
I'm putting my money on Trump having The US bail Russia out. He locked food up to rot, keeping it from starving children. He's withdrawing aid from Ukraine. He won't give water to Iran. But you watch, he'll bail Putin out, right as the sanctions are finally about to finish their job.
Trump is allegedly pro American oil/gas. You would've thought he'd want to help knock out the competition? Can anyone smarter than me shed some light on this matter?
Because it won't benefit him personally. Ruzzia pays him.
So do the Western fossil fuel lobby.
Then they were dumb enough to give Trump money and get stiffed like everybody else.
Imagine in Ukr targeted gas and oil supply lines?
Perhaps Russians should protest…
i would think that Bicycle shops would be raking it in
Truly a tiny violin moment.
It’s because Ukraine hit their main lines! It’s been on fire for days! Slava Ukraini ✊🏻🌻
🇺🇦 needs to continue hitting the oil depots, refineries et al. This is the best sanctions to hit them with. Make it such that the bald jerk and his orcs can no longer fund their war.
Help if you can U24.gov.ua
Exactly…their economy is already on the brink! Smart, those Ukrainians! ✊🏻🌹
TOTALLY AGREED🔊💯👏🏻🙌🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS AWESOME🔊💯👏🏻🙌🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸🫂!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donnie Cankles will probably start sending them gasoline to help with the shortage.
Russia has always had priority problems. In that the leader’s happiness takes precedence over the needs of the people.
Hmmmm. Now where did I put my sympathy? Oh, that's right! It's busy in Gaza and Sudan and Ukraine. Fuck Russia.
No sympathy here!!
oops.
How about a few windmills?
YES……NOW IS A GOOD TIME FOR UKRAINE TO ACT
Yep. Maybe 🇷🇺 can get the fuck out of 🇺🇦
And they grow oil and gasoline in Russia. I bet Trump will swoop in to make Russia great again
Good. That whole rotten country could go away and we'd all be better off for it.
Russia inflicts war on others to cover up mistakes they continually make on the domestic front. This time it's not sustainable and Russia is desperate to change the narrative. History show that Russians are tolerant of oppression... until they aren't! Prince Harming 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 what happened to the Tsar!😉
You're so right ,George. I do feel a twinge of something for the innocent folks living there. Maybe Vlady Daddy can get his puppet 47 "Reek" to help but without negotiating peace talks. Putin does have secrets about 47. "Give me gas or I'll bust your nasty ass."
Pay attention to who rides to their rescue.
Don't worry trump will send aid 🤣
Aid? Trump is used to getting paid by ruzzia, so if they have no money...?
Sniff sniff
💙💛❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💙💛❤️ #SlavaUkraïni
Ukraine has destroyed 17% of their refineries. My bet is it raises to 25% by the end of the year.
Ukraine has blown up significant number of gas storage facilities- Ukrainians fought hard to make sure they are slowed down as Russia fires hypersonic missiles into homes.
Boo hoo…
Trump will want to bail them out so they can continue their war on Ukraine. They can afford fuel for missiles and drones and bomb runs and tanks.
Ah well….
Awesome sauce. I hope they take it up with their local political officials.
You mean they don't know how to refine their own crude oil? Well, some executives are about to jump through a window at a high rise soon.
Good. I feel for the Russian citizens but this should deter the war
Honestly shocked it took THIS long for things like this to hit Russia. I expected them over a year ago.
Darn
Good, this is the first step on breaking the will of the russian people.
Ok now I'm confused (it doesn't take much...lol.) Isn't Russia's main export oil? And since they are being sanctioned by much of the world, logic (I guess, I could be thinking of intuitive leaps) would presume they would have excess oil in their country....
Ukraine has been targeting Russian oil refineries, depots etc for months.
For example bsky.app/profile/mili...
I feel sorry for the Russian people. They are suffering for what their government is doing. You know, like Americans now.
I feel Schadenfreude!! 😏
THIS!!! 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
War has consequences
Their people deserve better leaders, just like we do.
Their people are fascists. They deserve a new Nuremberg.
Russia with good leadership could enable so much good for its citizens and the world. Just imagine China, N Korea, hell, the U.S. without Russia right now.
The winter is going to be very, very cold in Russia…
We know. Us too.
👆❗❗❗
Ironically, their penchant for inflicting war and death on others is the very reason for their problems. Funny how that works.
Now is the time for Ukraine’s allies to give them everything they need to go on the offensive against Putin. Force him to the negotiating table without any advantages! Unfortunately, Trump is the weak link.
I hope somehow Ukraine is behind this, and it's just the beginning.
While corporate media in the US has been focused on all the relentless idiocy oozing out of the White House, Ukraine has been hitting Russian oil depots, pipelines & refineries with their long range drones. Not too many people even know this is happening.
Yay, a turn for Ukraine, they were smart to take out the refineries.
🇺🇦 Just keep 🧨 🔥 ✈️ the efforts up on Russian refineries 🇺🇦
You are forgetting how bad it is for the Kochs, since these facilities belong to them. They can no longer process Russian oil. 😬 How will they afford all of those Republican politicians now?? Couldn't happen to nicer folks! 🎉🎉🎉
www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Haha
This Winter is going to be rough in Siberia, but if they have a domestic consumption fuel shortage, remember, that’s their only export.
Phuque Ruzzia!
Real shame for them.😏
burn the whole shithole down
Zelensky hitting them where it hurts... Keep blowing up those oil refineries!!
When the effects of war hit the home front...
The war is Putin’s distraction/(moral booster gone wrong)
Let's see how fast Donnie comes to Daddy Vlads rescue
I sincerely hope Ukraine’s next drone strike hits even more Russian refineries, destroying their infrastructure is the only way now to stop them
Meanwhile in Gaza ...if you could just leave the Russian bogeyman alone for a while.
If only. Been waiting for 400 years for Russia to mind its own business. Of course, that do have an oil business ...
You're over 400 years old? Impressive! 😜
No, not me. Maybe my jokes. But Russia (If you're listening), is in some form over 1,000 years old. Most of the time stealing, killing and complaining.
this from you clowns who called russia a gas station. i'm nominating you for stupid post of the week. russia was attacked by nato, and it is a hc producer and great pals with iran, another country usa is trying to shaft.
Perhaps they should put tariffs on their products, like the Great Negotiator from the US.
There is a part of me that thinks Putin is coming for Alaska. I hope not..but maybe trump calling Alaska Russia was a Freudian slip. Trump aka krasnov has been a Russian Asset since the 80's. If they get Alaska they get Alaska's oil.
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!
No, they never do it!
As if they haven't got enough land now?
Ukraine has altered strategy and is “re-tapping” refineries and storage sites day after day to retard repairs. It is working.
Who do you think is going to send those poor old Russians Big Beautiful American Gas soon? Just to help his pal Vlad out
I commented the same thing. That's what he did with our covid supplies smh
Can’t wait for the Ukrainian Flamingos to fly. Hope they make September a month Russia never forgets. 3000 km range and a 1000 kg warhead. That’s a lot of drones worth of karma coming Moscow’s way.
It’s simple Vlad. Get out of Ukraine.
This is why they are trying to take over Ukraine.
Putin's goal is`nt to care about citizens, otherwise there would be no massacre. The goal is to stay in power and get a pretext for targeted repressions against those who are undesirable, otherwise the younger generations have become too liberal, they have begun to express their discontent too often
Also, the war has given an opportunity for a new redistribution of large economic assets. And the citizens can somehow cope on their own, if they don't like it, they can always go to prison.
What a pity
I think the figure is 17% down after Ukraine targets oil refineries and production.
How long before t^mp donates tankers full of fuel to his buddy puty?
Fucking walk
Russians can't get gasoline because of their government's illegal terrorist occupation of a soverign neighbor? They can fix their own country's government any time they choose to do so.
A war machine runs on fuel, combed with hits on refineries it's a good strategy on Ukraine's part.
The fact is that Russia is losing the war.
Now, if only the U.S. had a pro-democracy president rather than a Pro-Putin criminal as president.
Karma. I feel bad for the folks there who want change, but jubilant at the fact this will put some serious stress & pressure upon the clown that is their leader. 🙂
Those are probably less than 10% of their population.
Regardless of percentage, I hope that change comes. This imminent crisis might multiply that number. 🙂
russia's defeat on the battlefield is the only thing that can inflict changes in their fascist society. Just like with WWII Nazi Germany.
And just like revolutionary France & several instances of the Roman Empire, internal struggles can, too. There's several things that can change the governance of a country. As to what may in Russia? We have yet to find out. 🙂
Their attitude towards power is inherited from the Mongolian Golden Horde. That's the way they think a country should be governed. You can read about it in academician Yuri Pivovarov's works. Quite an interesting stuff to read.
It depends. There's several influences upon their attitudes, just like other countries. We really don't know what percentages prefer what ideology. Khan, Lenin, Marx, just to name a few. It's hard to no just what as Putin keeps a tight control on any statistics that come out of Russia.
I'm talking about a few hundred years before pootin was born 🤷
Their beliefs were definitely more cemented, especially that of a Monarchy & Church. There were variances, though, especially opposition of a parliamentary variety & the separation of church & state. But yeah, it didn't come to a head until Rasputin's insanity gave rise to Bolshevik Communism. :3
The very same mistake you keep making in your analysis, our Western friends: you think about russians like they're the same as you. But they're not. They're Asians, not Europeans. They have a completely different way of thinking.
Trust me, I know they're not the same as a Canuck like me. However, all empires are subject to various, similar upheavals. History has proven that. We won't know what will change the status quo in Russia. Either of us could be right. And both of us very well could be wrong, too.
We already know that. Just look at USSR. They survived famine multiple times. But once their government lost the war in Afghanistan, the USSR broke down. Same stuff with the russian empire: lost Japanese war (caused the first revolution) + were beaten up badly during WWI => the empire collapsed.
Everyone’s talking about Russia’s “problems,” but Ukraine is rewriting the energy map while we scroll outrage at celebrities. Check out how Lithuania and Ukraine are flexing real power: dixiesunnews.com/articles/eas... Honestly… who’s really winning the attention game here?
“Prices… are rising like weeds after a downpour.”
And may Ukraine just keep bombing the snot out of their refining and distribution infrastructure
It's Communism: those that hold the most power, have the most power. OF COURSE this includes fuels. Putin is the largest stakeholder in Rosatom and Gazprom. Do the math.
The oil they have they have to sell it to other countries to get rubels to finance their invasion of Ukraine
Oh I am sure putins bestie can help him out right trump
Hugely missed, former Senator John McCain called Russia a "gas station with an army" This economic crisis is what happens when you put Putin and his Cabal in charge of the pumps
The whole point of most wars is distraction from problems at home.
🎯
Why do we always see "Russia is collapsing" stories but it never actually collapses?
Because modern nation-states are astonishingly big and durable beasts. Look how long Germany lingered on during both World Wars, for example.
Oh, George, did you see the articlenon the OMAHA MEAT PLANT. 70 worker who passed every validation were rounded up for the camps. Immigration said the verification was wrong. Gee There might be another possibility. "Oh My"
Who can fault them? Their grand planner thought war was only going to take a couple of gallons of gas and some dead citizens. Meh. That happens every day in America. We've toughened the world up. Well, if Americans can get shot at school, church, keep shopping and go about their day, we can, too.
Perhaps they should stop inflicting war and death on others and then someone might sell them gas again.
Trump will sell... Sorry,GIVE him our reserves.
russia will be fine as long as Don the Con licks putins a... and is too busy attacking his own people and country. I wish he had same determination with russia.
You reap what you sow … comrade.
So sad. Too bad.
Trump will send them US oil.
That'll cause some poet in Primore to start a revolution.
Maybe if they withdraw from Ukraine and stop their war machine, then they might have a viable economy.
I’ve read that only 1/3 of the people in Russia have running toilets 🚽 So, the rest have outhouses? Says a lot about their country and it’s leader!
Outside of big cities like Moscow, it's supposed to be very poor. But having not been myself, I can only rely on tv programs. This is probably why Putin can have a tight grip on power. Flatter the rich while working people are poorly educated and uninformed about other countries. Like tRump's doing
That makes sense to me too!
Russian the war machines go plop..
Ukraine needs to knock a few more refineries out of service
I’m sure most Russians are against the war, don’t want Putin in power, but have now allowed him and his regime unlimited power. Oppose him = fall out of a window. It’s a cautionary tale that all Americans should hear and a warning they should heed, while they still can…
I feel bad for the Russian people. The KGB thug is their worst enemy.
Oh putin will just TELL his new buddy tRUMP to help them out.
Hello new boss same as the old boss
This problem exists because of their war on Ukraine. End the war, problem solved. Get out of their country. Otherwise, they're going to keep bombing refineries.
Lmao
Time for Ukraine to target Russian oil production facilities
They have been, that's what caused this in the first place.
Do some more, and hit the cathedral in red square.
I'd rather they blow up more refineries, planes, and ammo depots than some gaudy old church tbh.
That guy is just a fountain of new strategies. 🤣
Newspaper editors are gonna start falling from windows :/
My most insincere thoughts and prayers in this time of self-inflicted loss, vladimir. The longest "3 day war" in history sure does take a lot of fuel, doesn't it?
All those fuel depot strikes must have made a difference. Just infuriating. Tmrupghfff is bypassing sanctions for sure to get fuel to putin. It would be astounding if he wasnt. Or should i say, Putin is bypassing sanctions with tmurppfffs assistants, wykoff etc helping things along and trmurpffs👇
👉 "son" in law Kushner's extensive israeli and middle eastern contacts. The extent of corruption and crime here cannot be overestimated. It may not be unravelled in our lifetime how extensive this network of traitors and grifters is, or the extent of crime. Everything they do is crime. Its like 👇
Its a compulsory measure, they are not allowed to do *anything* unless major crime is involved as if it's a caveat. Extraordinary. Mary Trump is right; its not a "thing" they do, fraud is the family pastime, its their job, their being, their art, their very air and sustenance. Fraud and crimeing.
You don't have to post screenshots from Twitter; Steve Rosenberg is here on bluesky. bsky.app/profile/bbcs...
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU JIM DOUGLAS🔊💯👏🏻🙌👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just keep blowing up refineries.. You notice, not schools, hospitals.. 🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Trump.....2 more weeks because he is the weakest fuck on earth that wants to destroy America because he was never accepted by anyone but Epstein!
