    Pretty sure that's why Trump floated it to Hungary ... so the Vlad knows to crank up his voter interference machine ...

    Ukraine is one of the reasons I won’t vote Trump.

    another refinery down.

    Ukraine knocks out Russian refinery in major attack (msn.com)

    Industry sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity that the main crude distillation unit (AVT-6) at NORSI was damaged in the attack, which means that at least half of the refinery's production is halted. Lukoil declined to comment.

    NORSI refines about 15.8 million tonnes of Russian crude a year, or 5.8% of total refined crude, according to industry sources.

    It also refines about 4.9 million tonnes of gasoline, 11% of Russia's total, 6.4% of diesel fuel, 5.6% of fuel oil and 7.4% of the country's aviation fuel, according to industry sources.

    Hungary is a wonderful country and I truly support what Orban is going there. I absolutely wouldn't mind having someone like Orban as President of the United States. Bundapest is also one of my favorite cities in the world and both Orban and Trump are right on Ukraine. Let Ukraine fail. Let Ukraine fall. It's not worth the sacrifice.

    The Siberian Battalion, a rogue group of Russian soldiers fighting for Ukraine, has made a significant attack in Russia. They claim to have captured a village in the largest cross-border excursion yet. The were in a joint venture with the Russian Freedom Legion, another Russian anti-Putin military group. Interesting . . .

    Rogue Russian soldiers invade their own country

    The Brits say that Russia is losing the logistics war, especially with regard to the Black Sea. The long road to Kiev just got a little longer.

    Putin’s arms shipments no longer dare enter the Black Sea. Russia is losing the logistic war

    What "sacrifice"? A few dollars worth of weapons and ammunition, that we will easily get back ten times over during the next decade if Ukraine wins?

    You probably spent too much time in Bundapest, and not enough time in Budapest. Is Bundapest a suburb of New Orleans or Baton Rouge?

    Orban is a fascist and despot. There have not been free elections in Hungary for 15 years. There is no longer a free press there, since he arrested and strongarmed publications and those who worked for them, and then took over and installed his cronies to run the organs of the press. He and his cronies have stolen and taken over businesses throughout the country after using the power of the government to attack, assault and threaten those business owners and managers.

    These are facts that you KNOW. All of us with a bare modicum of intelligence who slightly keep up with the news knows those facts. Orban exposed himself as a fascist many years ago, and you KNOW that he is. How can you want to have as a president a person like the fascist Orban and not be a fascist? Oh, and congratulations on siding with Russia over the interests of the USA because your hero is beholden to Putin. Maybe you and Tucker Carlson should go live there!

    The amount I saw was $300 million, but either way, Ukraine blows through that in one day. Especially after Z and his boys take their cuts. I’m not even sure why or how this is news. It reflects Biden’s unwillingness to commit to a larger action without Congressional approval and that ship has sailed. I’m glad you’re able to celebrate the beginning of the end, but know this is the beginning of the end. $300 million... LOL

    Victoria Nuland was the first rat to jump ship. Don't be surprised if Zelensky is next. Sooner Rather than later. Within a month would be no surprise.

    What exactly will Zelenskyy do with his "cut" of artillery rounds and ATACM missiles? Set up an exploding display in his garden to entertain guests? Line his basement with them to improve the insulation quality of his house? Decorate his roof with them? Hand them out to neighbors as party favors? What? We aren't sending cash to Ukraine. Period.

    I only wish this was the beginning of the end of republican ignorance. Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain that it is the beginning of the beginning of republican ignorance. The intelligence ship has sailed for the party, sadly. Probably time for you to put on your orange makeup and start your worship session of the Great Orange Dictator. The Church of Trump is in session, and the cult is calling you . . .

    Or he'll bow down to Putin, and then roll over for him. He knows that Putin is a better dictator than he is, so he must yield to whatever the better dictator says. No need to make Putin outsmart him (which he would do anyway); just start off by bowing to him and giving him what he wants.

    French Defense Reports Acknowledge Ukraine is Done With
    https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/03/french-defense-reports-acknowledge-ukraine-is-done-with.html

    A Ukraine victory is impossible


    The Russian will and toughness was underestimated by Western military planners

    The Ukraine offensive got bogged down in mud and blood and achieved nothing of strategic value

    Ukrainian forced are inadequately trained while Russian forces are well managed and cared for

    "the gravest error of analysis and judgment would be to continue to seek exclusively military solutions to stop the hostilities". "

    Ukraine never had a chance. How could anyone have ever thought otherwise? We should have listened to Reagan
    andade Russia our friend. That's what Putin wanted
