    War is very expensive and the reserves Russia set aside for that war ran out some time ago. Meanwhile Ukraine keeps blasting their refineries faster than they can be repaired, and this is going fast. 17% capacity was gone end of August. Now it’s near 40%. Russia is planning for importing fuel these days to keep as much as possible running. Meanwhile they’re exporting crude oil and making a lot less money from that.

      Pretty much this. Since Ukraine is blasting the refineries more and more people are out of gas. The scenery in southwest Russia where people can’t buy gas is kinda hilarious tho.

      And now that the orange fuck has decided to help Ukraine (until his next fit), US intel will help Ukraine even more. Things will only get worse for Russia from now on. People are already publicly talking about Putin resigning.

      Can’t wait for him to finally get gaddafied. Let’s hope the next guy isn’t as psychotic as him.
