1. The Phoney War II.

The first Phoney War wasn’t phoney and this one won’t be either.

2. Has Russia had enough winning yet?

Can't wait for their parade. Especially if there are surprise guests.

6. Did I hear them say there would be stars present?

Like the Starstreak, for example

[LiberatedUSA]

3. Well if Russian TV was threatening nukes before...

…they’ll be screaming for it now.

Russia is having a sad.

[Budi]

4. Wow! Those pics!

If Russia's not careful, Ukraine will end up capturing their western border!

Totally embarassing for Putin

5. Hope they aren't Reichstag fires.

[Wicked Blue]

7. Good. Let them experience some pain for a change. nt

10. Why would Russia attack its own depot just to blame Ukraine?

I mean, it isn’t like they need some context to justify an invasion. That ship has sailed.

This won’t change anyone’s mind about anything so what is the point? Very strange.

13. Strange indeed. Wonder if they were told this was

going to happen by a humanitarian actor trying to prove a point/capabilities vs to kill people, giving time to evacuate.

21. I saw some speculation a while that lack of imported supplies could result in contaminated oil

Russia has had struggles with keeping oil deliveries sufficiently pure (chloride contamination ruined 5 million barrels worth in 2020). Chlorides are used to help extraction but need to be removed again afterwards as they are very corrosive. With western supplies, parts, and equipment drying up; they will struggle to properly maintain and operate their petroleum industry.

If they do have large stocks of unusable oil, it would be tempting to destroy it in this manner. It hides their contamination issue, and drives up prices.

[Budi]

11. Yup. Evacuated in advance.

The last gasp of a humiliated & defeated tyrant?

9. Druzhba pipeline?

12. Russia is getting their ass kicked so hard you can see it from space. FROM. SPACE

"The military facility that was hit was the 29th brigade of the Russian Railway Troops. What do they do? Logistics. Logistics and SUPPLY. Part of logistics command. They help supply the entire Russian Armed Forces. Motto: “Nobody Is Better Than Us!”

14. Wow!

This is scary.

[Warpy]

15. Looks to be true

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/large-fire-oil-depot-russias-bryansk-near-ukraine-agencies-2022-04-25/

There has already been one strike against oil depots across the Russian border reported on April 1-2.

So not surprising. Could be missiles, could be sabotage. This whole thing is such a clusterfuck.

[Chuuku Davis]

16. Same needs to occur at NordStream

And the other big pipeline to Germany.

[OnDoutside]

20. Well said.

[snort]

17. Burn you fuckers!

[Ilsa]

18. Thank you for creating the thread and posting this information!

And thank goodness that some shit is happening inside Ru. 🇺🇦

[Tomconroy]

19. You are very welcome.

Despite suggestions from some, I'm too old to go over and volunteer. But I can try to keep the issue of the defense of Ukraine and much more aid from the West on this board

[sl8]

22. Sounds like the beginning to "Red Storm Rising" nt
