That skull comes from the 3rd reich on his arm

Wow. Literally nazism

That's not a skull.

I think we should build a wall, but on the other side of the Panama canal.

Join us.

Need stronger walls between church and state...

So, has Putin started going full ham yet? He just released a statement stating that Russia hasn't even gotten started.

Would need mobilization so not happening

Gotta go with pros and volunteers

Its not insane, it makes perfect sense following the laws of supply and demand.

Oil companies globally cut supply during the pandemic due to decreased demand caused by lockdowns etc. Then demand for oil spiked up much faster than anticipated after the world's economies opened up again.... putting the world in a low supply, high demand situation which drove up oil prices. This is why the price of oil was rising consistently even before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Now oil companies (and Russia) are enjoying the high prices and can make more money without selling as much. But if this keeps up for too long, eventually demand destruction will kick in (like it did after the oil crisis in the 70s). Oil companies know this and have been slowly ramping up production, trying to avoid demand destruction while still trying to milk this situation for all its worth.

Logical. But I consider the sanctions to be absolutely pointless if Russia is making more money than ever before off its fossil fuels for selling less.

I also consider those companies profiteering to be absolutely absurd.

If you want to effect Russia simply undercut them in pricing.. it's the most logical step. But rather than that being on the table it's fleece everyone and make record profits.. it's a joke to me.

If you're unable to undercut Russia due to not having the production capabilities. There's no way sanctions are going to stop people from buying from Russia.. winter will be far far more profitable.

Didn't they just enact some silly new law that enables them to have certain industries forced directly to supply and provide for the Russian military?

Another four M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS and additional ammunition for those systems, plus 1,000 rounds of high-precision 155 mm howitzer ammunition are heading to Ukraine as part of a $400 million Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) allocation signed by President Joe Biden Friday.
The latest drawdown by the Biden administration marks its 15th PDA for Ukraine since August 2021 and a total of about $8 billion in security assistance for that nation.
This latest PDA will bring to 12 the number of HIMARS the U.S. will have sent to Ukraine, a senior U.S. official told reporters Friday morning. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said that there were already eight of those systems operating in Ukraine now.
The official said that contrary to Russian claims, none have been damaged or destroyed.
“High-precision air-based missiles have destroyed 2 US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket launchers and 2 ammunition depots near Malotaranovka in Donetsk People's Republic,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said last week on its Telegram channel.
Ukraine officials had previously denied that and the U.S. defense official Friday confirmed that denial.
In addition to HIMARS, the U.S. will be sending 1,000 rounds of what the official said are 155 mm howitzer rounds that provide “greater precision” than standard shells for those systems.
“It offers Ukraine precise capability for specific targets,” the official said. “It will save ammunition. It will be more effective due to the precision.”
Ukraine still has "substantial stores" of standard 155 mm shells, the official said.
The official declined to answer repeated questions about whether the new high-precision rounds were the M982 Excalibur precision-guided 155mm artillery shell. The Excalibur, which the Army, as well as the U.S. Marines, have been using for more than a decade, is only capable of hitting stationary targets using its GPS-assisted inertial navigation system (INS) guidance package. The M982 has a maximum range of 20 miles.

They might be getting Excalibur rounds....Now that is interesting . We will wont give them (ATACMS) .

Ahh this was the article I was referring to I think. But I've hit my article limit so can't double check it unfortunately. I believe they economy wise have admitted ( basically ) they are on a war footing by enacting this law?


Stupid article limits. Was a few days ago

I thought that Germany dropped off 3 of theirs already.

So now we get to it - you're an apocalypse kid, predicting the end ad infinitum without ever having to accept you're wrong for the simple reason that you're wrong, and there will be no collapse.

But boy you'd look dumb as old rocks living out there in Japan, wouldn't you?

Why not move to Russia where the real security is? Or are you perhaps being a tiny bit melodramatic?

Why do all the nutters here turn out to be living in Japan? The lack of pussy must be driving em up the wall I guess
