How is this related to the Russian-Ukraine conflict?


Dow put plastic in the tedticles of European leaders making them soft on immigration. This resulted in Third world Muslims ruining the European culture.

Europe deserved whst they are going to get and Russia was the one to teach them a lesson. That’s why they invaded Ukraine. They are going to get Europe by attacking the soft underbelly of Rurope next.

Another night, another rail substation. Krasnodar is the region just to the east of the Kerch Strait. By this time, with constant attacks on additional rail power stations in Rostov and Volgograd, the Russians must be getting very little rail freight in the area south of the Sea of Azov. This includes the oil pipeline terminal port of Novorossiysk, a critical loading point for the shadow fleet.

And another night, another two Russian refineries hit.

quote:

At night, while you were sleeping, two oil refineries were attacked at once:

JSC "Syuzran Oil Refinery" processes from 7 to 8.5 million tons per year [150kbbls/day]. Krasnodar Oil Refinery [not the Afipsky refinery] processes 3.1 million tons per year [62kbbls/day].


The Syzran refinery was hit last week, so last night was a second helping. It's in the Samara region and yes, is a Rosneft site. So Sechin stays pissed off.

Patriot components, Starlink upkeep — US approves $329 million in military sales for Ukraine
quote:

The United States Department of State approved military sales to Ukraine worth $329.1 million on Aug. 29, for components related to the upkeep of Patriot air defense systems as well as Starlink terminals, the agency announced.

In separate announcements, the State Department said that approximately $179.1 million would be directed towards "Patriot Air Defense System Sustainment" and will include spare parts, maintenance support, software updates, and contractor training, among other items associated with the Patriot systems' upkeep.

In another package, the State Department said that, at Ukraine's request, an estimate $150 million had been appropriated to "buy an extension of satellite communications services for (Ukraine's) Starlink terminals." The sales package includes U.S. Government and contractor engineering and logistics support, among other assistance, the agency said.


Every US sale reinforces the policy of supporting Ukraine. The White House may see these as building leverage against Putin's intransigence but does not justify the release of the Epstein files. Once those are released, their value is lost to the Kremlin. Hopefully this trend continues with more and more significant weapons, putting the blackmailer between this rock and hard place.

1 Killed, Dozens Wounded as Russia Launches Second Major Strike in Days

The overnight barrage was Russia’s second large-scale combined strike on Ukraine in just a few days, following nearly a month of relative calm.

by Alisa Orlova | Aug. 30, 2025, 8:58 am

Russia pounded several Ukrainian cities overnight into Saturday, Aug. 30, with drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in one of the heaviest barrages in weeks, killing at least one person and injuring 22, officials said.

The attacks struck Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Lutsk and Pavlohrad, while explosions were also reported in Starokostiantyniv, Zhytomyr, Vasylkiv, Cherkasy and Sumy. Homes, businesses and infrastructure were damaged, and fires broke out across multiple regions.

Ukraine’s military said Russia used a wide array of weapons in the assault, including:

X-101/55 cruise missiles launched from Tu-95MS bombers over Volgograd region,
Kalibr cruise missiles fired from warships in the Black Sea near Novorossiysk,
Iskander-M (9M723) and KN-23 ballistic missiles launched from Russia’s Rostov and Voronezh regions,
Likely Iskander-K (9M727/729) cruise missiles,
Several types of attack drones, including Shahed/Geran and Gerbera models.
Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk region, said both drones and missiles hit Dnipro and Pavlohrad, damaging infrastructure and sparking fires in residential areas.

Zaporizhzhia was among the hardest hit. The State Emergency Service said one person was killed and 22 others were injured, including three children – boys aged 9 and 10, and a 16-year-old girl. Eight of the wounded were hospitalized.

Natural gas at Europe's main trading hub is cheaper than it was in 2021 by almost 50%. Tell me how loss of Russian natural gas hurts Europe unless those like Fat Boy Orban were getting specials deals or even big time payments into an offshore account?

defines the weakness and profound shame of the West.


The same west who has provided something like a quarter of a trillion dollars in aid, cash, and weapons so far that we know of, likely closer to half a trillion when you factor in things like intelligence support services, training, the lost value from sanctions on Russia, and if you don't magically make some things a $0 value because in magic pretend land it costs more to keep and maybe refurbish something than it did to buy it originally.

Essentially what you're advocating for by criticizing the west as weak is that we haven't done enough, or rather that we should put our own soldiers' lives at risk for Ukraine. That notion should be completely rejected

From 12 September Russia prepares "massive wave" of disinformation – Ukraine's Defence Intelligence chief

Olga Katsimon — Saturday, 30 August 2025, 13:23

Kyrylo Budanov, Head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), has stated that during the upcoming joint Russian–Belarusian exercises Zapad-2025, the active phase of which begins on 12 September, a large-scale information attack is expected.

Source: Budanov’s statement at the international forum Information War: From Resistance to Resilience

Quote: "From 12 September, there will be a truly massive wave of information escalation. Disinformation will be spread from absolutely all sides. Around 90% will come from Russia, and, unfortunately, 10% from others. Hysteria will be fuelled."

Details: He said that the exercises in the military and political and military spheres are aimed at rehearsing manoeuvres on the western axis of the theatre of war.

Quote: "They will be acting out certain elements of a future war. This is not about Ukraine. It is a symbol and a message primarily for European countries, and first and foremost for the Baltic states."

Details: Budanov stressed that with the start of the active phase of these exercises, the Baltic countries will come under serious information pressure, which will be accompanied by multiple disinformation injections and provocations.

Does Russia really have troops and equipment to spare doing exercises with Belarus?

Enough to scare the west especially after a three and a half year dud in Ukraine?

His comment about Dow Chemical does not refer to the Russia/Ukraine conflict either. Are you saying it does?

Sources say Trump is pissed that Putin is jerking his chain... it's bruising his ego, so he's pivoting to ways to put Russia/Putin in its place.

If the people starving are citizens of the country that is killing and maiming to support their dictator’s whims; then I say let em starve. To some degree it’s their fault too.

We knew this summit meeting between 'allies' would be rough as a cob for Putin, but dropping this bomb before the meeting even starts is cruel and unusual.

All Putin can do at this stage is roll over and say, 'Yes sir, may I have another sir?'

China has abandoned "Power of Siberia-2" and offered Russia to pump more gas through the existing pipeline with a 40% discount

The energy issue will become one of the key topics at the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping next week, but negotiations on the construction of "Power of Siberia-2" have reached a deadlock, two industry sources told Reuters.

According to them, no breakthrough is expected in the discussion of the $13.6 billion project with a capacity of 50 billion cubic meters per year. Putin is cornered, having spent billions on the unfinished project.

Instead, China proposed increasing supplies through the existing "Power of Siberia" pipeline by 6 billion cubic meters per year at a price of $250 per 1000 cubic meters. For comparison, the price of gas in Europe is currently about $391 per 1000 cubic meters.
