Rumor that in Kherson the russians have hacked the communications networks and have begun playing fake videos of Zelenskyy surrendering.

Russia should be thinking, "If everyone is going pro-Europe, maybe we should do something different."
Thats the part that is really interesting to me.

Russia could be a great ally. They could have easily made peace with their neighbors and happily go on about supplying oil to everyone. But they can't help themselves. They have to seize land, and control military choke points that belong to other countries and take all for themselves.

Nobody in europe is going to launch an assault on Moscow in the ICBM era. Why does russia need buffer states? You have to pay transit fees for oil and gas to Ukraine? So? Put other pipelines in place and negotiate like everyone else has to. Ukraine has gas reserves? Who cares. The rest of the world also has gas reserves.

A whole host of global geopolitical headaches goes away if Russia just stopped acting like Russia.

And I think that is what the global elite are seeing and hoping for regime change.

It will be interesting to find out if they are using an actor or deepfake technology.

Today is going to be a rough day. Russia will use more thermobaric weapons, shelling in Kharkiv, Maruipol (which is now surrounded) and Kyiv are going to be brutal. The fact that a week in that Kyiv and Kharkiv haven't fallen is astounding. The Russians are clearly having horrific supply issues up north. In the East they've been absolutely blunted by the regular army. The south out of Crimea had the best supply and planning and I think that is what we thought would be the performance in most locations. Not surprising that the troops in Crimea who had been there for a while and are facing the least opposition have performed the best. But today I expect Kherson to be finally captured today (not that resistance will stop but it will be fully occupied). I suspect that things will get extremely more brutal from here. Rolling bombs, more cluster munitions, thermobaric.

Exxon joins BP and Shell. Don't think it's quite as strong though - don't know about Exxon's stake/joint ventures over there.

FYI- The U.S. M1 Abrams tanks run on a jet engine. They consume the same amount of fuel while parked or in motion.

Not sure the situation for the Russian tanks.

Russian tanks are almost all diesel engines. Iirc we're the only nation that uses a turbine engine for its MBT's.

Quote:

China signalled it was ready to play a role in finding a ceasefire in Ukraine as it "deplored" the outbreak of conflict in its strongest comments yet on the war.

Beijing said it was "extremely concerned about the harm to civilians" in comments that came after a phone call between Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi and his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba.

"Ukraine is willing to strengthen communications with China and looks forward to China playing a role in realising a ceasefire," the Chinese statement said on Tuesday.

It added that it respected "the territorial integrity of all countries", without indicating whether Beijing accepted Russia's claim to the Crimean peninsula or shared its recognition of separatists in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Are China and Russia playing good cop/bad cop to grow the Eastern Bloc and bring Ukraine under that sphere?

No, China is just posturing for the civilized world. The more this goes on, the better for them. They know that Russia and Ukraine are at an impasse.

China and Russia are frenemies. China needs petrol and grain. Russia needs manufactured goods and cash. Long term, both cannot control central Asia. China would like nothing more than Russia slowly bleeding out.

Here's a thread on r/Romania.

Hopefully this Google Translate link works: https://www-reddit-com.translate.goog/r/Romania/comments/t48lns/sukhoiul_su27_al_uaf_a_decolat_mai_devreme_din/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

To the point: UAF SU-27 was forcibly escorted by NATO fighters on the 24th after it entered Romanian airspace. Looks like it had no where to land in Ukraine? Just took off back to Ukraine with no ammunitions on board to comply with NATO rules. I guess the wing wiggle is a thanks.

Turbine and jet are close enough in operation to make little difference.

But I agree, a turbine at idle is not using the same fuel as one at power.

That's an Su-27.
