Some very good news: Reuters estimates that Ukraine's campaign of air strikes against Russia's economy has managed to take out 17% of oil refining capacity.
Not just oil and gas either: farming has been so badly hit that Russia recently put restrictions on bankruptcies of farming companies to try to slow down the collapse.
This has always been how Ukraine will win, and Russian violence will be stopped forever: accept that the "civilian" economy in Russia is a valid military target, and kill Russians and blow up their infrastructure until it collapses.

When are you going to the Frontline kiddo?
Can't the man have an opinion without going to the front? When are you going to fight for the Russians?
most people are wanting to not be involved. Peter is advocating for endless fighting until Ukraine wins, so he should go over there and fight.
You're still a fucking idiot.
Russia is winning the war you fucking dunce, wake up.
You don't have to like it, it's just a reality.
Talking sense into this dude is like trying to explain how to ride a bicycle to a toddler.

Dude, everyone hates him but I don't get why, and nobody says why. And you know the shitty thing? He gets these kinds of replies but everyone is fine with those.


No one cares about bot accounts which push russian propaganda
He's just parroting the NATO lie that Ukraine has any chance of winning this thing. I used to know many Russians and Ukrainians years ago and what they've done post-2014 to Ukrainians to get them to hate Russians this much is just ugly. These people where like brothers and sisters not even a decade ago.
It's not his first stupid take on geopolitical matters. I try to ignore him mostly but since nostr gives me free speech, I throw an insult in his direction every now and then. Don't care much if he even reads it.
I don't even scroll through his replies so I don't know what else he may be getting. Examples provided are ugly regardless.
The story of the babushka taking out a MiG-35 with a can of soup is my favourite. 😅
“what they've done post-2014 to Ukrainians to get them to hate Russians"
Dude, the "they" here is Russians. They've been killing Ukrainians in large numbers since 2014.
It's so bad that Russians regularly put out propaganda videos bragging about how they murder Ukrainian civilians with drones. Here's one of the latest from the other day, attempting to murder a man walking his dog in the Kherson area:
The only way that you could say Ukrainians and Russians are "like brothers" is if you had a psychotic family member who had tried to abuse you your entire life.
The faster Russian culture is exterminated, the better off we all are.

I do very liberally use the block button, because that crap is basically just spam.
And what, does it look like Russia is winning?! They used to hold 30% of Ukraine's land, and now they hold 19%. Look, I don't know who'll win this war, obviously, but seeing a little country resisting against the biggest country in the world, and the second army on this planet... I'm speechless.


Look up the word proxy.
It's moronic to think that Ukraine is anything without Europe and more importantly the US.
The US wants out and has left it to Europe to foot the bill.
This is what this obsession with Ukraine is doing to Europe.

If you base your assessment for a Russian victory on the amount of land controlled, you're already falling for the NATO narrative that Russia wanted to completely invade Ukraine.
IMHO the Russian Embassy in China wrote the best definition for the SMO:

About the special military operation in Ukraine
Do you know what investments are made to bring this info into russian households? I think Ukraine will win faster, when Russians know that their core economy will only crumble until they stop the war.
A problem here is that western media is underplaying these successes, and western politicians aren't making it clear that this is the goal (for them, it isn't).
If there was a clear message that Russia's economy was going to be attacked until collapse, then Russia might genuinely negotiate to stop fighting and withdraw. But since that message isn't clear there isn't that pressure to stop.
Of course, the Russian population aren't stupid. They know damn well that their refineries are being hit and it's causing shortages of gas. So a more clear message might not actually discourage them.
You don't start a war like this because you think the way we do... The Russian culture is fundamentally evil in an aggressive way. It's probably not as aggressive as Islamic extremitism. But compared to the average extremist Muslim, Russians are on average a lot smarter. Which makes them dangerous. And Russia does have a large and growing Muslim population too...
I think it is quiet clear, that EU wants the rusiian economy to crumble. I would not see an other purpose of sanctions than this.
I really do not get your ani-islamic stance. Islam is a worldreligion as christianity is. Yes there are extreme people within this religion. And there are also white supremacist within christianity when we want to be fair.
There is also millions of Jews in the world. And some of them are terrorist too. My point is: It is idiotic tagging terrorism to a specific religion.
Since terrorism is horrible. But we should start to understand, that they use the religion the same way, as they use civilians. Thet are only shields they abuse. We should stop blaming the shields and start blaming the violent militant groups themselfs.
A recent fundraiser video to send these beautiful baby drones to the front. 😂
They accept Bitcoin, like most Ukrainian charities:
Marginal cost to kill or seriously wound a Russian by a drone is estimated at about 1,000,000 sats. And with AML/KYC Bitcoin, you can donate untraceably. Quite cypherpunk in a way really.

I remember you explaining this in Helsinki. Still blows my mind
I fear you may have fallen victim to some form of extremism… marveling over death. Psychotic.
I'm russian. This sounds like a threat. Sooner or later we'll run into each other.
It is no threat to russians. It is only a threat to supporters of the russian state/government.
If that’s a threat then I’m Satoshi
Ladies and gentlemen, the "good guys"
Looks good for the environment, did the EU approve? Probably should fly all the big wigs somewhere in private jets to discuss.
Yeah, people are cheering distraction of our tiny spec of dust in space, while people responsible for the situation are untouched. Go humanity, you are doing great!
