The EU has agreed to ration gas, but some countries put up a fight | CNN Business

The price of gasoline within the U.S. has fallen an average of nearly $0.70 since mid-June, but could always go up again with supply shocks.

Big Oil has had months to ramp up production in preparation of Russia cutting off gas exports. If they didnt do that Western governments should come down on them like a wrathful god. Those rich ****s have held the world hostage for too long.

They’ll do exactly what they want in order to maximize their profits. They don’t care about supply, they don’t care about demand except in so far as it puts them further and further in the black. They should’ve been bought out and nationalized decades ago.

There's talk of US possibly giving Ukraine soon-to-be de-commissioned A-10 Warthogs. The pilots would need to be trained so this would happen at the end of the year earliest.

He is one of the most despicable people alive in the entire world. He’s not going to slow up the entire process though.

Russia is plundering gold in Sudan to boost Putin's war effort in Ukraine - CNN

 

[Iceman]

Putin is not the type to listen to what the US wants. He is holding long grudges that a current leader can’t fix unless they just start sending billions of dollars to him for nothing. “Heading off” this war doesn’t sound realistic at all. If it’s possible why don’t we head off all future wars and safeguard the global economy for the future?

Denver Gazette - Atlanta group implicated in Russian influence scheme

The U.S. Department of Justice has connected the Black Hammer Party, a Black-led radical group based in Atlanta, to an alleged Russian plot to sow discord in the United States, according to a newly unsealed federal indictment.

The department announced Friday that Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, a Russian national with Kremlin connections, was secretly funding fringe political groups in Georgia, Florida and California, directing them to “publish pro-Russian propaganda, as well as other information designed to cause dissention in the United States and to promote secessionist ideologies.”

Scary that they thought this could come to pass. I'd like to think it couldn't, but you never know anymore.

Basically it's a return to the Holy Roman Empire and kingdom states. Russia is so goddamn ridiculous.

On an unrelated related note, a video showing a Russian soldier castrating a Ukranian prisoner has come out. So the sick ****s are doing that now too.

What happens to Russian boys that makes them so mean as men? Geez.....

 

[Fosterson]

The assumption of this and other articles is that Putin is a peacenik who has been unwillingly forced into invading and genociding his neighbour.

Thought about it. I suppose the Russians on the ground know they are getting their butts kicked so they are retaliating against people they can instead of at Putin who they can't reach. Just a sad state of affairs. I mean they aren't born heartless, right?
