My only question on this, is why advertise it. Aren't these kinds of actions supposed to be military and political secrets?



If we know about it (we being the public) it is actually meant for Putin to know about it. Its all about ramping up pressure.

If they thought keeping this a secret would be a strategic advantage for Ukraine we wouldn't know about it. There have been a few instances of reports of new weapons or capabilities for the Ukrainian army coming out months after they had already been in use, so any advantage of the element of surprise had already passed by then.

In September, Ukraine managed to intercept only 6% of the Russian ballistic missiles launched, according to the Financial Times, which analyzed open data from the Ukrainian Air Force collected by the London-based Centre for Information Resilience (CIR).

The report notes that most key Ukrainian military facilities have already been destroyed.

Current and former Ukrainian officials told the outlet that at least four drone production plants were destroyed by Russian strikes this summer"

I hired several in the past for bigger projects, but many well run landscaping companies make very decent money.
So, I nailed it?!?

Don't forget his few days posting on TD earlier this year using the screen name PoppedRiser.

He started posting on 5/14/25 and he got banned on 6/10/25.

He didn't even make it a full month...

To be fair, people in/from other countries probably don't realize that you can make bank with a landscaping business in the US.

The vast majority don't make bank and are more like single truck solo operators. But either way I respect people who start their own business and make a decent living.

We shouldn't forget their stint as BeatingU, that didn't even last a week, and whatever the 5150 name they used, that didn't even make it 3 days. It should be noted ms winston and omlandshart were banned during these periods, like they are again today, due to being unhinged af elsewhere.

You were so desperate to impress complete strangers on an anonymous message board that you described yourself as...

Next time just describe yourself as a Turf Management Engineer.

THAT would really be impressive!!

The black market is going to eat.


Immediately after the fall of the USSR there was a need for around 200 small refineries in Russia, approx 2,000 BPD each. A company in Houston built a number of them and got stiffed by Russia so went belly up.

I wonder if any of these are still in place and can be put back into service for the black market even with diesel and low grade gasoline production only.

Stealing oil and making bank on maybe 500 BPD of gasoline at $20,000 seems lucrative to me.

I'll have you know that I started my own fish bait company.

I wanted to take the business to a new level so I went back to college and got an advanced degree as a Master Baiter.

Sorry to say I did forget about that alter.

I should have remembered it since BeatingU and singittomenafogimp are the only two posters which I recall using the term "Slava Zucchini" in their Putin ball-sucking schtick.

Putin said it is time for those who "wanted to make the people of Russia suffer" to calm down.

The head of the Russian Federation hopes that even the most "stubborn slow-witted" will gradually understand the impossibility of delivering a strategic defeat to Russia."

Ah, the first sign Ukraine's strategy of hitting Russia's energy infrastructure and industries is taking a toll on Putin's support.

He's feeling pressure.

Well, Ronald Reagan did it to the mighty USSR. Back then they were 12% of the world's economy. Currently Russia is 2% of the world's economy.

So. You know. It's not really impossible to do. It's more like a mathematical certainty.

Why would anyone worry about making Russians suffer when Russia has and is doing a great job of it already.

Over a million injured and wounded. An industry being blown to bits. Quality of life issues. All because Putin wanted to play Stalin.

The West isn’t doing it to Russia. Russia is doing it to Russia.
