Why isn't the US Navy intercepting these and bringing the oil to the US for free?
Just pirate 'em.
It'd be totally awesome if this were a Stuxnet Moment... (with more to come)

Ukraine latest updates: Zelenskyy says Moscow ‘stole our peace’
Ukraine news from June 24: Ukraine’s leader urges UK festivalgoers to ‘spread truth’ about his embattled nation.www.aljazeera.com
That area holds little tactical significance; and they've burned 90% of their "planned" invasion forces to take it. Ukraine takes the south and blocks off Crimea and Putin is toast.
Still, US & Europe should send Lukashenko a little warning: quit re-arming Russia.
Throw a shot across the bow for him so he pees himself a little.
Why?
Because it’s a major industrial area of significance and will be tough to take back since the bridges are blown?
The Ukrainians obviously wanted to keep or they wouldn’t have fought so hard for it

Obese Russian general, 67, called up to fight as Putin 'scrapes the barrel'
EXCLUSIVE: General Pavel, a veteran of Russia's disastrous war in Afghanistan, is being dragged out of retirement to join the battle in Ukraine. He is said to eat five meals a day washed down with a bottle of vodka
US Navy should confiscate this shit. We can track EVERYTHING coming out of Russian ports.
Just TAKE it.
No, it's not.
It's tying up Russian forces so they cannot reinforce the southern edge and Kherson.
Ukraine takes that and blocks off Crimea and it's bad news for Putin.
They're bleeding Putin's army dry. And establishing counterattacks on Kherson.
Seems significant….
Russia has full control of Severodonetsk - Ukraine - BBC News
The mayor of the eastern city says Russian troops are in control after Ukrainian forces withdrew.

Ukraine is losing a lot of troops as well….not a one way street Joe. That’s why Stoltenberg and others are saying this war could go on for years
ISW has a different opinionSeems significant….
Russia has full control of Severodonetsk - Ukraine - BBC News
The mayor of the eastern city says Russian troops are in control after Ukrainian forces withdrew.
"As ISW has previously assessed, however, the loss of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk will not represent a major turning point in the war.[7] Ukrainian troops have succeeded for weeks in drawing substantial quantities of Russian personnel, weapons, and equipment into the area and have likely degraded Russian forces' overall capabilities while preventing Russian forces from focusing on more advantageous axes of advance. Russian offensive operations will likely stall in the coming weeks, whether or not Russian forces capture the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk area, likely granting Ukrainian forces the opportunity to launch prudent counteroffensives. The Kremlin’s ideological fixation on the capture of Severodonetsk, much like the earlier siege of Azovstal, will likely be to the ultimate detriment of Russian capabilities in future advances in Ukraine. The loss of Severodonetsk is a loss for Ukraine in the sense that any terrain captured by Russian forces is a loss—but the battle of Severodonetsk will not be a decisive Russian victory."
Huh? Where did I state this was a "one way street" or it wouldn't "go on".
Russia is running out of "stuff" and men. Conscripts aren't enthused about getting thrown into that mess.
Boris Johnson warns of risk of fatigue in west’s support for Ukraine
At G7 summit, PM pushes for renewed sanctions and says he would welcome a visit to UK by Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Which doesn’t really correlate with this going on for “years”.
If true we’d expect to see some pretty radical shifts the Ukrainians way in the coming months.
I hope that’s the case. I’m pessimistic on that front
Ukraine thinks they will be able to really rock and roll by the end of August. My guess is that they expect a lot more units to be up and running (and armed ) by then. Of course I hope they are right.
I still think the West must supply a lot more anti missile defense as Ukraine gets hammered every single day.

Amazing video. I don't know how I would actually react in a situation like that, but I have to assume that I would be elbows and knees high in a full sprint until I was out of the picture. I have no idea why that one dude stopped running when he rounded that building.
I will repeat something I have posted a few times throughout this thread about Russian missile strikes. Though they seem consequential, they are uncoordinated, and not striking important targets. It is horrible, and par for the course for the Russians to blow up apartment buildings, but they are playing for the TV cameras and for sentiment. Militarily they do not seem to be accomplishing much with these missile attacks.
It is nice to see calm, competent leadership again out of the WH. Biden isn't going wobbly, and for all of his enormous flaws, neither is Boris Johnson. The UK is standing tall in this. Poland, Romania, the Czechs, and the Baltics are holding firm. The Greeks are doing good work with logistics. Lots of nations understand that Putin will not stop with Ukraine. He might pause for a few years, but he won't stop there. It is up to Biden to keep the French and the Germans from pushing for a quick settlement.Biden arrives in Europe to keep allies united against Russia as a grinding war in Ukraine takes its toll

He use to coach at Kansas also.
amazing the health care system can keep somebody that big alive. I hope he is healthier in retirement.

That is roughly 72gallons of vodka per year!
I feel the need to do the math on how many gallons I have purchased in my life.
