It's abject failure will be acute and the fall out will be worse than Russia's last failure in the 1990's

I know the @nottyboi and @oil&gas and @Addict2sex deluded vatniks will spew their Russki bravado but when a country gas station loses its oil refineries every day, there is no coming back from that.

From about day 90 of Russia's failed blitzkreig that Russia's chosen path of war against Ukraine was a self-neutering choice, that as a result they were already the standing dead. Just hadn't fallen down... yet.

Wonder what will become of Russia. 🤷‍♂️

Ukraine is going to get fucked out of reparations since Russia's oil industry is being destroyed as well as their customers finding and establishing new sources.

And with the remaining funds available in their internal sovereign wealth fund and gold reserves likely already being looted by those with access, I wonder how the poor old pensioners who are barely scraping by are going to buy turnips? It's quite sad actually.

The leadoff in the Anna from Ukraine video I posted said that Russia's central banker herself has predicted 2026 to be significantly worse than 2025 for the Russian economy.

Last year she tried retiring early.... before she was invited to a Russian Tea Party to discuss her severance package. Seems she was, ahem, convinced to stay on.

I can imagine the prospect of defenstration factors significantly into her understating the severity of the actual economic situation.

Russia has huge surplus in oil refining capacity so s shutdown of 20% of refining capacity just means high prices for refined products for their customer and a more crude exports for Russia.

This is the Russian vodka equivilant of the boiling frog proverb.

Russia is IMPORTING refined gasoline and diesel to keep Moscovites from realizing the seriousness of the situation. Domestic gas prices are wayyyy up... IF you can find any.

As for exports, I guess you haven't heard that even India and China are scaling back.

China is going to grab back lands Russia stole in previous wars. Mark my words...again. 😜

A shut down of TWENTY percent, is nothing to you?
And high prices of refined products also mean that Russia will now be forced to sell crude at even more dirt cheap prices to both India and China (which I do not believe are scaling back despite Trump's claims, and will just take advantage), who will probably sell refined oil back to Russia for a profit lmao.
All to keep a pointless war going.

Check AI they have 2x the capacity of their domestic needs. There may be localized shortages as their logistics adapts
