    I volunteered today. Log/Admin role to replace people for 30-60 days. The operation is in the west, or should the Orcs win will be pulled back behind the NATO wall. Either way the humanitarian effort

Dude, the Serbians just leased their second Airbus 330 (ie a euro 737). A used one at that.

Doesn’t mean they won’t go to war on their neighbors, but….

Any oil and gas guys here? Just curious with the US and the world in recession, how long do you think gas prices will remain high after the war ends? Off the cuff, I think Russia would be basically in anarchy if Putin loses power so I assume Russian oil will be off the market for a long time if Ukraine wins.

NATO has troops in Kosovo who will fuck Serbia's shit up if they start anything.

The Russians aren't coming because the troops they would use to help were killed in Ukraine.

Serbs are clients and allies of Russia and are trying to stir shit in the Balkans to distract NATO from Ukraine and increase the likelihood of general conflict spreading.  Problem for the Serbs is that a) Russia doesn't have the arms and supplies to send that they used to, b) with the sanctions it would be much harder for the Russians to get anything of significance to Serbia, and c) Serbia would basically be facing NATO alone.  This is like the saber-rattling that Belarus has been doing: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

@The Dog is quicker and more succinct.

The US isn’t in a recession. Technicals prove that many other countries are.

OPEC needs a supply increase for it to go down. We have many ways of stepping up production here locally but we aren’t for many reasons.

Also, barring catastrophic destruction inside of Russia of its oil and gas production and transportation infrastructure, I don't believe Russian oil would go off the market.  There would be an internal struggle for control of the profits, but I'd expect the production to continue.

Their oil is still being used and they haven't decreased production. It's just going to countries like China and India. They also are transporting the oil in neutral ships and shipping their gas through their own LNG terminals to avoid sanctions. If Russian oil is back on the market, I think prices might go down a bit but I think the market remains tight.

Have we discussed India much in this thread? Because fuck India.

You mean the guys buying cheap oil and turning around and selling it to us at a premium?  Those guys?

What I wonder is what happens to Russia after it loses to Ukraine? Putin will be out and there will be a power vacuum. Does that mean civil war or something else? Does oil and gas supply continue in such an environment? I don't know how closely Gazprom is tied to the Kremlin, but controlling O&G in Russia is controlling the government.

Unconfirmed reports that Ukraine killed the Russian soldier that was captured on video castrating a Ukrainian soldier. Some saying he was captured, but most saying Ukraine killed him. 

If it's true, I hope his death was slow and painful. If it's not true yet, they'll get him eventually.

I truly hope this is the case, but until I see proof I'm going to assume he's getting free drinks, medals, and pats on the back by his other fucked up Russian comrades.

Re the second floor HIMARS: "How did you get that big ol' Harley up on the high dive, Coy?"

Weird double post.

The U.S. is officially saying it wasn’t HIMARS that hit the POW prison.  Stopping short of saying “it was Russia” but that’s clearly where this is going. Given that the HIMARS angle was key to the Russian claims, interesting to see if they pivot to some other weapon system or double down on HIMARS.  Officially of course, their deniable channels will double down.

BBC looking at what rural Russians think of the war, and it’s basically what you think

But what of the Russian public? More than five months on, do Russians believe their president took the right decision?  In the big cities, such as Moscow and St Petersburg, it's not uncommon to hear people criticise the Kremlin's "special operation". 

But I'm a long way from the capital after a nine-hour drive north-west of Moscow. I leave the village and head to the regional capital, Pskov. As I drive past a military base, the slogan on the poster outside catches my eye: "The borders of Russia never end!"

From the replies on that bullshit of HIMARS on the second story of a building

Quote

If a russian flagship can take a break on the bottom of the Black sea, don't see why two HIMARS cannot have a moment of privacy on the second floor of a building

Quote

Of course they took the stairs m, they are “High Mobility” after all

Lot of laughs in that thread.

What happens when that infrastructure starts breaking down?  All the Western oil/service companies bailed early on.

Putin has made sure that nobody is as feared or strong as he is, so whoever comes after will probably be looking to make deals.  Places like Chechnya will probably bail on Russia, along with some other republics .  I don’t see Belarus surviving under its current leadership.

Whoever comes after Putin will have to make deals quickly, both internally and externally, because the EU is making moves to completely wean itself off of Russian oil and gas, and Western companies are looking to get Ukrainian oil and gas into production in a big way, with the EU being a principal buyer.

Shit is going to be the Wild West in Russia. I imagine they will be chaotic for quite a while.

It's so vital to their economy, I think they'll commit every last resource they have, to maintaining it.  They'll patch it with duct tape, bailing wire, and the dead bodies of 100,000 Russians to keep it together.

If/when the Russian oil stops flowing, it'll pretty much signify the end of Russia.  I don't think it'll get that far.

I'd assume that pressure bursting pipes is something that they will be completely unable to deal with.

So a little more context for the article.  They aren’t just fighting “heathens,” they are repeating the Baptism of Rus’, which in history was carried out in Kyiv by Prince Volodymyr and brought Orthodoxy to Ukraine and all Rus’. It is also Ukrainian Statehood Day.  Putin is to be compared to Aleksandr Nevsky, who also unified medieval Rus’ and defeated the Swedes at the Neva and most famously the Teutonic Knights on the famous Battle on the Ice where the heavy Knight cavalry crashed through a frozen lake. The collective West is to be compared to the Commonwealth, the Knights, Sweden, the Third Reich, and NATO.
