the brits are doing all they can to start a war with the russians, and they have virtually no military worth a dime; 

 

The fighting in Ukraine continues to escalate. If this trajectory persists, the Continent will be at war again.

The Drone War

On Sunday, Ukraine launched a barrage of drone attacks on Moscow, killing civilians and damaging a vital refinery that supplies diesel, according to Russian officials. Russian state media said the military downed about 500 drones that approached Moscow, providing a glimpse into the magnitude of Ukrainian drone swarm attacks, which have been frustrating Russia all year. In total, the Russians say, Ukraine fired more than 1,000 drones in that one attack.

Ukraine’s weekend barrage came after intense Russian strikes on Kiev that also destroyed infrastructure and injured civilians, per reports.

Ukraine struck Russia just as Moscow was holding its version of elections. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky bragged about the attack in a social media post.  “Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit,” he said. “These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine.”

On Monday, Russia retaliated with a wave of drone attacks of its own, this time on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. It also hit carriers or port infrastructure in Odessa and Izmail. The day before, it hit a radio electronics plant and data center on Kiev, per the Russians.

Effect on Global Energy

The war’s effect on global energy prices appears to be the most important thing at the moment for U.S. President Donald Trump. The president is facing intense political backlash over rising fuel prices at home and abroad. “Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine,” he said in a Truth Social post on Sunday. “A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission. This ridiculous and never ending War with Ukraine must be ended. The whole World suffers as 25,000 people, mostly soldiers, are being killed each month.”...........more..........
