Over the past three weeks, Ukraine has wreaked havoc with Russia’s energy infrastructure. Soon after the new year, someone attached explosives to train carriages in the Urals city of Nizhny Tagil. A blast took place next to facilities owned by Gazprom Neft, the country’s third biggest oil producer. Next, a kamikaze drone crashed into an oil depot in the Oryol region.
On 18 January, another oil terminal, in St Petersburg – Vladimir Putin’s home city – came under attack. It was the first time since the invasion in February 2022 that unmanned aerial vehicles had reached the Leningrad region.
There was more to come. A large-scale fire broke out at an oil depot in the town of Klintsy, not far from Belarus and Ukraine.
Strategic bombing was a game changer in WW2.
I’m not saying this by any means as good thing: I think we’re watching the refinement of the new face of war in the era of dirt-cheap drones. With every passing year more and more it’s that nowhere is safe.
It’s almost like wars are huge lose-lose clusterfucks that no half-sensible leader would ever start… Moreso now than ever before.
Ignore the half of Ukraine that’s just gone now…
USA propaganda that Ukraine is winning is honestly wild sometimes
They are “winning” in many ways. That doesn’t mean war is magically glamourous…
USA propaganda that Ukraine is winning is honestly wild sometimes
So, successfully stopping a massive assault isn’t a win? Making invaders grind to a halt and lose MULTIPLE TIMES more soldiers isn’t a win? Destroying a significant part of a “world power”'s navy when they don’t have one isn’t a win?
Not saying there’s no propaganda, but you are simply beyond stupid if you think there are no wins to point at…
Don’t bother with this troll, he’s a known tankie spreading misinformation on all threads related to Ukraine.
Tankies and nazis need to know why it’s correct to punch them in the face. At least so those around them know it’s justified.
I hate how fighting one state’s oil exports will probably raise the price of oil and make other oil cartels more money. Hopefully though it will have a big economic impact in Russia, which would make it very worthwhile.
IMO it will likely drive the price in countries that still directly buy cheap russian oil. So russia and India. There might be some price increase that will bubble up to the western countries, but it’s probably not going to be huge.
The only way forward is to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. This is not only good for the environment but also helps to make the autocrats in the oil producing countries less powerful.
Hopefully it will have a big impact on all of us, and accelerate the way off fossil fuel dependency
From your lips to god’s ears
“raise the price of oil” and “big economic impact in Russia” makes less than zero sense
If we set aside the entire context of the conversation maybe? What is your point?
Don’t engage with this guy, he’s a known bad-faith tankie troll.
That’s the vibe I was getting. Hadn’t gotten around to tagging this one yet
How would oil skyrocketing in price hurt the world’s largest gas station lmao?
Here comes the airplane 🥄
Drones attack russian gas infrastructure ➡️ supply decreases ➡️ Russia exports decrease as price increases ➡️ other petrostates profit opportunistically
I’m sure you’re already aware, but this shit is american BS propaganda lol
Damn almost the same article from 2022 lol. Russia must be really hurting from all of those oil sales.
Yesssss this fills me with so much love and admiration. Ukrainians are badass.
