furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 15hUnfortunately, Biden & Sullivan didn't get that memo. They did not think of the potential for the insurrectionists to get in. Ukraine had one hand tied behind its back. Now, Trump is helping Putin, because birds of a feather... 021
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 21hWe can only hope that the election isn't rigged or corrupted by ICE thugs. But even then, the election is the 1st Tuesday in Nov; the new members don't start until 1 Jan. 110
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 21hIt's 5/8ths of a day's consumption - if delivered as promised (unlikely). 121
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 21hMostly propaganda. Russia has lost a lot of storage tank capacity, and it's short of fuel, including heating oil for the coming winter. The Z-bloggers are trying to bluff the world that the piffling amount of diesel Putin agreed to sell Trump will miraculously flood Russia with money. 000

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Can't cut oil they don't supply. Australia gets most of its oil products from SE Asia, from countries Australia in turn supplies LNG. The US wants Australian rare earths, inter alia. Australia was buying diesel from India, but Indian refineries switched from ME oil to Russian; so that ended. 030
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Kinetic sanctions stopped Russian diesel exports. They have a lot of shortages. Some crops weren't harvested, because farmers made more from selling much of their "farm diesel allocations" on the black market than they'd make from their crops. 040

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026~2.5% of US diesel consumption between now & the election. As you say, Russia won't deliver anyway; but the thickest of the thick MAGA deluded will soak it up as "gospel". Trump's "Reality TV" campaigning strikes again. Hopefully enough Americans see straight through it. 120
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Correct. Also, the KIA:WIA ratio has climbed from ~30-40% to now 60-70% & more (the WIA, if not officers, are left to fend for themselves, bleeding out). Conversely, the UAF casualty to Russian ratio has fallen, because UAF has strategies to optimise troop safety. 110
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Russia has offered a token amount of diesel. Less than one day's US consumption. It won't move a price needle. Trump will relieve sanctions on Russia for that? Peak stupid. Russia is losing in the north of the front; has a disaster in Crimea; is struggling in Zaphorizhia; & lost the Black Sea. 062

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The average age of Russian soldiers is 42. The life expectancy of a Russian male is 66. Russia is now losing 1700 / day at the front, and it's extremely one sided loss statistics. Most die from FPV drone strikes or drops. Ukraine loses a small fraction of that number (most commonly to glide bombs). 130

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 08/10/2026SCOTUS ruled that corporations are citizens; a stretch interpretation of US constitution law (Citizens United).

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So easy to destroy the aerostats. I hope the Russians waste a lot of time & money on these... only to have them shot down by drone guns or mini AI interceptor drone launches once the aerostats are spotted. Whatever they lift is gonna fall. 000

furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Russian power operates on structural corruption. It's fundamental. The reasons for the big increase in prosecutions are: 1. The free flow of money is tight; the state budget stretched. 2. Russian power operates via money; who controls the money; 3. So it's Putin's FSB vs Army; FSB takes the money. 120
furro293.bsky.social @furro293.bsky.social · 07/10/2026About the massive surrender... 1.
