a good sermon, referencing Ezekiel seven, and equating Russia with what a prophet of God calls *consults scripture* "the most evil nation"

During the Deepwater Horizon crisis, I learned that Russians use a specific word for discussing ecological disasters involving oil drilling platforms. It translates to "petrochemical calamity" in English.

This knowledge came from an unforgettable article that I read during the height of the crisis, where BP and the US government struggled to seal off a broken deep ocean drill pipe that was gushing massive amounts of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Russian engineers had earnestly encouraged the Obama administration to simply detonate a small nuclear bomb near the drill site; in their experience with petrochemical calamities, it was best to redistribute layers of the seabed until they settled into a less problematic alignment.

I wonder if Trump wanted to nuke the hurricane because he thought Obama was an idiot for not nuking the Gulf of Mexico when it was leaking.

I wonder who he managed to piss off that went beyond just driving up to him in a black unmarked car and unloading an automatic into him.

I honestly don't believe either side completely. Russia should just start showing the footage in reverse and say they can now build planes in the sky.

According to Wikipedia, they had 150 Su-34s at the start of the war. They'd lost 24 as of January, and roughly another dozen since then according to reports.

That's about 25% of their inventory.

Except after sanctions/corruption only about half of those remaining are airworthy.

I am more curious what putins plan is, like yeah stupid revenist russian history bullshit. but like i dont think he has the streanth to take kyiv again much less the rest of the country. if he had any brains, he would hold what he has and then try to sue for some sort of peace bullshit and hope trump and or europian nazis/tankies win elections so he can try to rebuild. but like russian can't currently win the war at least in the way putin and dugin want.

Russia also can't lose anytime soon. They've built the largest minefields ever created, and Ukraine doesnt have the material to breakout. He can drag this out for decades, although dude is 71 so there's a very finite amount of time he personally can invest in this.

As to what his plan is specifically, It seems like he's willing to wait out Western support and grind the entire country into rubble. This says Russia is building 100 tanks a month, and losing 12 a week Will it work? IMO probably not, but it won't be decided anytime soon.

That's fortunately incorrect. Russia is depleting it's stock of vehicles and could be out in the next two years. 40% Of the GDP is partially sustaining their losses and much is offset by refit or pulled out of storage stuff. They cannot conduct this war forever just because there's minefields.

Surround Putin with women and he still looks like he can't wait to get back to the bunker and smooch his favorite stallion. Several of the girls couldn't even manage a state mandated smile.

What are the pictures of aircraft for? Identifying future smoking accidents or Russian air defence targets?

Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

Like a lot of the ideals of the USSR, their take on feminism was theoretically quite progressive. Shame about the reality.
