Should Ukraine Keep Attacking Russian Oil Refineries?
[…] the data shows that the attacks have had a limited effect on Russia’s fuel production and export volumes and that their impacts did not last long.
…
And because the Russian government pays domestic companies a subsidy of $10 per barrel on all the refined oil products they export, the state may even be benefiting financially from a shift toward crude oil exports, which reduces the subsidies it must pay.
…
Of the 12 major refineries Ukraine has damaged between January and May, half were returned to full operation within three weeks and the rest within three months.
…
[…] they have had little effect on the global economy precisely because they have had little effect on Russia.

Now the move is on the side of the Pindians. If they come again, it means that they are quite prepared for the loss of Global Hawk (or even more than one) and have already thought of a response. Or they will come to “clarify” whether it was a one-time action or we are serious. So we need to think two moves ahead based on the worst case scenario. How we can respond to their response. There is no antidote to this kind of “unprofessional” UAV action. Global Hawk’s altitude has no defense. They will not be able to put fighters to escort them, and with escort, the MiG will come and history will repeat itself. Well, let them think.
And yes. I say what I think is necessary and the way I think is necessary. If you do not understand something here, read the channels where you understand everything, the main thing is not to attribute to me your wet dreams and desires.
The crew has been presented with state awards.
Sounds like they threatened the drone and maybe forced it to withdraw.
Not going to be able to find it now, but I just recently read about a Russian general who said that cluster munitions would have been extremely useful in the beginning of the war. They would have been able to hit multiple targets with one missile, without needing strict accuracy.
But Russia chose not to use them due to the effects they could have on civilians.

“Russia cannot ignore the ability of these aircraft to carry nuclear weapons. No amount of assurances will help here,” Lavrov was quoted as saying by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"In the course of combat operations, our servicemen are not going to sort out whether each particular aircraft of this type is equipped to deliver nuclear weapons or not.
“We will regard the very fact that the Ukrainian armed forces have such systems as a threat from the West in the nuclear sphere.”
I’m highly doubtful that Russia will actually do anything about it though, other than just shooting them down.

What didn’t you like about it when you tried it?
I like it because it’s pretty, stays out of my way, and mostly “just works” out of the box. KDE seems to encourage the user to configure everything to their liking, but I hate configuring stuff.
What air defense doing?
Also, great top comment:
Lebanon has the right to defend itself

Iraq, Jordan, and Rwanda have withdrawn their signatures from the Ukraine “peace” summit joint communique.
Sorry about the source. There’s no good article about all three yet, but it seems to be real.
Final map of countries that signed the joint communique at the Ukraine “peace” summit. Pretty much just with a sprinkling of a few extra countries.
Heh, doesn’t Yemen’s blockade hurt Egypt most?
If Trump gets elected, he should pardon Hunter as a power move.

Ramzan Kadyrov:
Friends! Soldiers of the “AKHMAT-Chechnya” regiment of the RF Ministry of Defense under the command of dear BROTHER Aslambek Saliev, together with military personnel of other Russian units, carried out tactical actions and liberated another populated area from the enemy. This is the village of Ryzhevka, which is located on the border with the Kursk region. ⠀ As a result of large-scale planned offensive actions, the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses and was forced to retreat. The coordinated and effective work of fighters from all units made it possible to achieve this result without any difficulties in just three days.
I sincerely thank every soldier who participated in the assault and liberation of the village. I am convinced that the same ending awaits other territories that are temporarily under the yoke of Ukrainian-fascist and NATO formations.
NOTE: It is from this village that constant shelling of the village of Tetkino in Russia was taking place. Russia is creating sanitary zone as anounced and ordered by President Putin.

At least some of them headed toward Crimea.

Has there been any discussion on here about how Trump said “We didn’t stop Israel. It was such a horrible thing.” in his closing statement?
Did he misspeak? I think he implied earlier in the debate that Biden wasn’t giving Israel enough bombs to “finish the job”, so…
