RIP old Sarge. My stepfather, who raised me and did three tours in Vietnam. He died 02/2020. The shit we went through as a family deployed to Germany during the Cold War is unforgettable. 1983-1987. 12th Engineer battalion, 8th ID. Pathfinders.
@willthiel Hey Will take a look at this gentlemans spreadsheet on the Russian oil refineries. If it is accurate it seems pretty comprehensive. What do you think? https://t.co/0reuQfWDqX
Russian refinery throughput has now collapsed to 2.8mbpd from 5.1mbpd in 2022. Omsk is severely damaged, though not yet fully offline (see below).
Gasoline, diesel and jet shortages are now emerging simultaneously. With multiple crude distillation units (CDUs) knocked out across the refinery system, there is no quick path to restoring refining capacity. Sustained product imports are becoming Russia's only viable medium-term solution.
Good luck with that. Belarus' Mozyr refinery is the Kremlin's best hope for securing up to 90kbpd of gasoline and a bit of jet and diesel. But it sits just across the Ukrainian border and is itself an obvious strategic target - expressis verbis by @ZelenskyyUa.

🙏 I have a small favor to ask of you: I can't work much right now, but I have some ready-made jewelry in stock that I really need to sell. I'm organizing a sale for these pieces, and I would be so grateful if you could share this post.❤️✨️

This massive underground terror tunnel built by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon is literally just several miles away from Israeli communities.
Full of weapons and ammunition.
This is why Israel must destroy Hezbollah.
Stop blaming @elonmusk for your mess in Britain. Blame your politicians. By 2040, the British Parliament will be controlled by Islamist Muslim Brotherhood members, London's charities will be taken over by British jihadist citizens, and England's universities will become proxies of Iran's former Islamic Republic. The Muslim Brotherhood uses your democracy to censor your freedom of speech.
Воїни ЗСУ уразили дві нафтобази — у Ставрополі та Твері. Обидві приблизно за 500 кілометрів від лінії фронту. Також підрозділи Сил оборони України уразили резервне сховище для накопичення та зберігання пального. Відстань від лінії фронту — близько 800 кілометрів. В російській Уфі застосували санкції по нафтоперекачувальній станції майже за 1500 кілометрів від нашого кордону. А також був санкціонований нафтоналивний термінал у Ростовському регіоні, що приблизно за 200 кілометрів від лінії фронту.
We listen to political commentators and pundits talk about politics and the state of the nation, but nothing beats the heartfelt words of a constituent challenging their elected representative face to face at a town hall.
Meet Fred Higginbotham resident of Bolivar, Missouri who took time out his day to tell Republican Mark Alford EXACTLY what he thinks about what this regime are doing to the country he loves.
I don’t know Fred, but if I had to guess, I’d say he is a man who has served his country and is clearly not shy to speak truth to power. I salute him for his willingness to tell the uncomfortable truth.

Our warriors are carrying out the long-range sanctions plan in response to Russia dragging out the war and continuing its attacks. Recent days saw important successful strikes on facilities supporting Russia's oil sector and sustaining its war policy.
SSU warriors struck two oil depots – one in Stavropol and the other in Tver. Both are about 500 kilometers from the front line. Units of Ukraine's Defense Forces also struck a reserve fuel storage facility located about 800 kilometers from the front. An oil pumping station in Russia's Ufa, nearly 1,500 kilometers from our border, also came under sanctions. An oil loading terminal in the Rostov region, about 200 kilometers from the front line, was sanctioned as well.
I thank all our warriors who make results like these possible every single day. We offered Russia a way to end this war long ago, and every day it chooses to prolong it should bring the reality of war back to where it began – to Russia.

Over the last 24 hours, Amnesty International, Haaretz, The Guardian, CAIR (Muslim Brotherhood), the UN, Senator Chris Van Hollen, and multiple state-run Qatari outlets have called for the release of Hamas Colonel, Hussam Abu Safiya.
It's so blatant how coordinated this all is.
@wrightysback@proud_diplomat Oh the sad little island monkey is still crying. You hate your country and suck muzzie and putin cock. You are a pathetic little rodent. Tankie scum. Thank god I do not wake up as pathetic as you do.
Holy shit.
Madyar’s Birds took out 8 Russian tankers, 1 cargo ship, and 1 ferry from the shadow fleet in a single night (!).
At this point, Ukraine is effectively seizing control not only of the northern Black Sea, but of the entire Sea of Azov as well.
