Are you serious? I posted the exact screenshot question and full answer from Grok of what a Barrel of Oil cost in Russia to produce
OK, if it cost 15 bucks to produce a barrel of oil, then what does it cost to sell that barrel and deliver it to your customer?

Common Sense would tell you If the "Breakeven" price was $50-$70 like these clowns are claiming then Russia would not be able to fund a 3.5 year War against NATO and the $300 billion given to Ukraine in Aid and Weapons.
You are omitting several facts that are obvious. First Russia is drawing on stockpiled of weapons they’ve hoarded over decades. They didn’t have to pay to build them.
Second Russia has used billions of rubles from their “nest egg” to pay for the war and not just new revenues.
Third, the war hasn’t gone well and some of the Russian failures csn be explained by a shortage of funds.
Fourth, while I do believe Russia isn’t losing money in the oil business; they definitely aren’t doing nearly as well as they once did. That puts them between a rock and a hard place when it comes to budget decisions.

The dude/dudette knows zero about crude oil other than what his handlers tell him. He thinks in the terms of Jed Clampett. In fact he knows zero about business at all.

Incorrect Again. Do you not remember Europe still has $200 Billion of Russia's Money in a Belgium Bank Account?

Correct, Russia had way more military supplies stockpiled pre invasion than Ukraine
did.
Correct, Russia has used much of their reserves to pay for more weapons and supplies.

Russian army amassing forces for new assaults on Kramatorsk axis – military
13.06.2025 15:00
In the Kramatorsk sector, Russian forces are continuously amassing personnel in preparation for future assault operations.
Lieutenant Colonel Dmytro Zaporozhets, spokesperson for the Luhansk Operational and Tactical Group of Forces, said this on Ukrainian television, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"In the Kramatorsk sector, the enemy is likely to intensify activity in response to any successes or gains, particularly in the Toretsk sector, since the enemy is currently amassing personnel there [in the Kramatorsk sector]," Zaporozhets said.
According to him, there are constant enemy movements recorded in the area of Novyi Chasiv Yar toward the refractory plant. Although there are no large-scale assaults currently taking place, there are isolated assault attempts involving groups of two to three individuals targeting Ukrainian positions.
"Nevertheless, we maintain constant surveillance of such personnel movements. Using FPV drones and reconnaissance UAVs, we try to detect any concentration of enemy forces and destroy them," Zaporozhets said.
"We expect assault operations in the near future," Zaporozhets said.
He also stressed that in the Kramatorsk sector, Russian troops have increased the activity of their reconnaissance drones.

Russia Announces Loss of Su-25 Jet Aircraft
June 13, 2025 12:07
Sources close to the Russian military have reported the loss of a Su-25 jet aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces due to an aviation incident.
According to Ilya Tumanov, a Russian blogger and the creator of the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, the aircraft was lost in a crash on June 13. The pilot was rescued and is currently safe.
Details regarding the cause of the crash and the exact location of the aircraft’s fall have not been disclosed. It is possible that the incident took place near the frontline, where Russian forces frequently deploy attack aircraft to launch unguided rockets at Ukrainian positions.
Operating Russian jet aircraft, many of which are around 40 years old, is linked to a significant number of accidents. Throughout the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, a considerable portion of Su-25 losses have been attributed to non-combat incidents.

A few things. How do you always have a tweet on standby for literally any talking point....especially one from 2024 that references production increases.
Secondly
That's good and all for Russia, but what is the start number? How many tanks were they producing in 2019? If the answer is 1, 3.5x isn't huge. If the answer is 100, 3.5x is meaningful. These numbers in and of themselves are meaningless other than "more is made"
And lastly, can you provide the source material you used to verify this tweet as you do for all your tweets?

– tanks by 3.5 times,

Another Round of Body Exchanges. Russia gave Ukraine 1200 dead soldiers. Ukraine did not have any bodies to give

It took almost a decade to make a dozen T-14's which even broke down in parades and has not been seen on the battlefield. So that looks like 3-1/2 tanks a year to me, at most 5

Stormy, none of that changes anything.
I pointed out that Russian stockpiles of weapons and ammo pre invasion dwarfed what Ukraine had.
JB tried to avoid my facts by telling us that Russia produced a lot of stuff after the war started.
My point that Russia had a huge advantage going in and that lower oil prices did not impact Russia initially.

So Russia isn’t having any KIAs? lol
Again you are mixing apples and oranges. Bodies exchanged doesn’t equate to KIAs, if it did then Russia would be crushing Ukrsine and not creeping west.

I am stunned by the difference in Russia’s initial air operations versus Ukraine and Israel’s initial air operations against Iran.
All I can say is wow.
From what I recall, the F35 has the radar signature of a small bird.
