It didn’t help Iran to be allied with Russia, but they did get Putin’s condolences.

Stormy, none of that changes anything.

I pointed out that Russian stockpiles of weapons and ammo pre invasion dwarfed what Ukraine had.

JB tried to avoid my facts by telling us that Russia produced a lot of stuff after the war started.

My point that Russia had a huge advantage going in and that lower oil prices did not impact Russia initially.

Are you serious? I posted the exact screenshot question and full answer from Grok of what a Barrel of Oil cost in Russia to produce

OK, if it cost 15 bucks to produce a barrel of oil, then what does it cost to sell that barrel and deliver it to your customer?

Common Sense would tell you If the "Breakeven" price was $50-$70 like these clowns are claiming then Russia would not be able to fund a 3.5 year War against NATO and the $300 billion given to Ukraine in Aid and Weapons.

You are omitting several facts that are obvious. First Russia is drawing on stockpiled of weapons they’ve hoarded over decades. They didn’t have to pay to build them.

Second Russia has used billions of rubles from their “nest egg” to pay for the war and not just new revenues.

Third, the war hasn’t gone well and some of the Russian failures csn be explained by a shortage of funds.

Fourth, while I do believe Russia isn’t losing money in the oil business; they definitely aren’t doing nearly as well as they once did. That puts them between a rock and a hard place when it comes to budget decisions.

I’d like to know at what price does Russia need to sell a barrel of oil to break even.

I’m a businessman and I know the difference between bringing in revenue and bringing in profit, but at the end of the day if your revenues do not exceed the cost of doing business you are spinning your wheels.

How about this, cypher post all of the relevant Grok inputs and JB post breakeven cost

How about Chrome ask Grok. He does a great job.

Can you blow that map up? It’s hard for the boomers like me to see these historic gains.

The bodies of 1,212 Ukrainian soldiers
have been returned from Russia, Kyiv says, as part of a prisoner exchange agreement between the warring countries. In return Russia received 27 bodies, Moscow's chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said. The prisoner exchange deal was the only tangible result of peace talks in Turkey last week, with both sides agreeing to hand over as many as 6,000 dead bodies each, as well as sick and heavily wounded prisoners of war, and those aged under 25. Medinsky announced that Russia would begin exchanging "severely wounded prisoners" on Thursday.

There are no labor shortages... if they paid a decent pay they would have plenty of people to work.

If I were going to open pools all over the parish I would have lifeguards lined up.

Hey genius, when were these soldiers killed?

Why only 8,000 plus exchanges when we know that tens of thousands have been killed on each side?

Why just two years? The war is over three years old.

Tell me, I’m just a dummy. I don’t understand.

I am almost positive Howell Park had a pool originally,
