After yesterday’s attack on a Russian fuel train in occupied Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian special forces hit another fuel train in Crimea.
Ukraine went back and hit the refinery at Novoshakhtinsk once again.
This refinery is in the Rostov region and has a capacity of 5 million tons a year.
From the time you get in line to the time you get to the pump there’s no telling what the price might be.
Something is blowing up in Sevastopol but Russia says it’s just routine training exercises.
His massive drone jammer apparently wasn’t massively jamming anything.
Russia struck a gas facility in the Dnipro region.
Putin has no intention of meeting with Zelenskyy or with reaching a peace deal. He adds conditions he knows will be rejected.

Lavrov says Putin is ready to meet Zelensky, but only with a pre-agreed agenda. Moscow again recalls its Istanbul 2022 demands: reduction of Ukraine’s army, neutrality, a “solution” on Crimea within 10–15 years, and a ban on foreign weapons on Ukrainian soil.

So Trump decides to wash his hands of the peace process. Of course, that’s just until later when he changes his tune once again.

So WTF does this mean? He is now blaming Biden for tying Ukraine’s hands and not letting them win.
He’s giving the whole world whiplash.
Speaking of whiplash, Trump now pushes the idea that he’s tough on Putin.
Just yesterday the White House was saying there would be no American troops in Ukraine as part of any security guarantee. Now it’s a no-fly zone?
Personally I think this is long overdue, but does Trump fathom what a no-fly zone would entail — that it would mean suppressing Russian air defenses?

Reuters: The U.S. is considering enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine as part of future security guarantees, with American fighter jets and additional air defense systems among the options being prepared together with European allies.

He’s right except for the fact that Texas is a whole lot bigger than Crimea and Crimea isn’t anywhere near an ocean.

⚡️Trump calls occupied Crimea 'size of Texas,' 'in the middle of the ocean.'
Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, illegally occupied by Russia since 2014, is roughly 26 times smaller than Texas. It is located on the Black Sea and also borders the Sea of Azov.

So the Air Force goes from providing an F-35 escort for Putin’s plane to scrambling to intercept a Russian intruder.
Vance is such a raging asshole.
Another 830 Russians but only one tank.
An American company’s facility in Ukraine was bombed by Russia.
This plant is in the small Western Ukraine city of Mukachevo, which is close to the Hungarian border.
Azerbaijan has no more fucks to give regarding Russia.
Just crank up the money-printing presses.
They are unhappy about the war, but also unhappy about those damn ethnic types who are polluting the gene pool.
