The War in Ukraine

[RangerRay]

Going back to the Orange Revolution, Putin wanted to keep Ukraine as a poor, corrupt puppet state so the Russian people didn’t look across the border at a higher standard of living and an open society and say “Why don’t we have that”.

Pretty much it in a nut shell

If we're going after Turkey now can we leave Marmaris alone ? Its a beautiful place.

Primorsk is about the same distance from St. Petersburg as Ust-Luga, and Novorossiisk is only ~200km away from Crimea. If I were Ukraine I'd hit Primorsk good and hard and force more of their oil exports through the Black Sea.

Industry sources confirm Russia's Ust-Luga oil terminal will process 350,000 barrels daily in September following Ukrainian attacks on pipeline infrastructure

The Black Sea is an active range. The Baltic is tense but quiet. Less problematic to take potshots in the Black Sea?

Several Baltic Nations have been seizing shadow fleet vessels that sail into their waters.

Well, here's Primorsk. And they aren't shy about going kinetic on shadow fleet ships in the Baltic either.

So Poland to send Military into Ukraine to learn how to fight drones...

The Ukrainians are in the UK now training the Brits.

Another CEO died by suicide. He decapitated himself. See around the 10:45 mark for a total of "falling out" with Putin to date.

Not the targeting of the British Council, the EU HQ and the apartment bldg. where EU diplomats live.

Another self-inflicted blow to Putin. Even more NATO on the border.
