Oil production at Sakhalin 1 has fallen from over 200,000 barrels per day to less than 10,000 bpd.
Shipping insurance is terminated due to sanctions and Exxon refuses to accept Russian implied insurance for the oil tankers. Russian insurance companies are unable to show financial status necessary to cover any losses.
I was listening to the Military Summary channel and he said the Ukrainian Nazis army attacked Russian lines in the Kherson district with two mechanized infantry battalions and one tank battalion. That’s a sizable force. They never even made it to the Russian lines before retreating. Artillery and air power sent them home. If three battalions can’t cover 5k to actually contact the lines I don’t see the Ukraine having any gas left in the tank. Supposedly the Ukrainians have amassed close to 70,000 men in the Kherson region for an offensive. I don’t see them making that attack successful. They’re using hastily trained men and a dwindling supply of armor that’s not being replaced. They’re running out of ammo for the artillery and that’s not being replaced either. Next month the Russians are coming at them with 300,000+ reservists freshly updated with a few weeks of reorientation. Unlike the Ukraine the Russians have plenty of ammo and thousands more armored vehicles and tanks. The hastily thrown together air defenses we’re sending are a far cry from an integrated air defense network. The new systems will have to be manned by western mercenaries (NATO). We’ve (USA/NATO) made it clear that we will not allow a negotiated settlement so Russia will be forced to take all of the Ukraine. Turkey is also disconnecting itself from the West and aligning with Russia and the Asian block. Saudi Arabia is moving away from the USA also. Really hard to believe we’ve been so incompetent as to alienate the Saudis. The Saudis becoming a client state of China and Russia would be a strategic disaster for the American Empire. Turkey is already a defacto ally of Russia and they’re the largest NATO army outside of the USA. Losing Turkey and Saudi Arabia means losing the eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf region. Look for attempts at regime change in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

TLDW; Russians don't display the same vitriol that Ukrainians do, even though the Ukes have been killing children and the elderly in Donbas for the last 8 years.

Like the old Indian said when asked "who's side you on", reply; "whose winnin?"...hard to believe the Ukes are running out of anything, especially ammo, after the billions we've given them!....Won't be long now. Wonder how the peace is gonna make the Brandon click look after all the usual lies and squandered billions?

Wonder where all that money went if the are running out of ammo?....What fraction of the 80 billion, or so, went for ammo?
So, how are these “freshly refreshed” replacement conscripts going to impact the conflict, in any different way than the last issue of conscripts? Better communications? (nope). Better commanders? (nope, nope). Better morale? (Ha!). Better unit cohesion? (I made a funny!). Better equipment? (From where, exactly?). Better support logistics? (make sure you pack some sandwiches, Igor).
I’d hate to be the one playing that hand in battle.

We’ll just have to see. I know that everything the US media is reporting isn’t even related to reality. There’s never been many Russian army personnel involved. Almost all Local militia and Wagner group mercenaries. 40 -50 thousand man Russian mechanized battle groups backing the locals and mercenaries. Russian army provides air , artillery and tank support. The perception that the Ukraine has been fighting the bulk of the Russian army is false. As for the equipment there’s hundreds of newer T80 tanks videoed coming into Belarus. It is looking like a 100,000 man joint Belarus Russian force is being formed in Belarus to invade from the north. Only 30,000 are Russian. That leaves 270,000 to join with the existing 100,000-130,000 existing force in the east. A total of a half million man force to fight with. Nowhere the Ukraine has come up against Russian forces of any real number have the Ukrainians had any success.
Dutch , you keep believing the propaganda from the west and I’ll keep believing the independent sources I’m listening to. I’d take the Russian hand every time in this matchup. As an American it makes me sick to see the American Empire destroy itself. Our middle class way of life is going away with the empire. It’s madness !

And Dutch is supporting the crew of Houston_2, Biden and George Soros. Why? Because over and over and over again, the MSM has told him to. We are lucky he didn't vote for Biden, Killery and Zero as the MSM told him to.
