Well, they wanted to go back to the days of the USSR...




Revenue up 13% but profit down by 52%. Where did it all go?



Hmmm... 746.5 billion + 163.9 billion + 138.7 billion does not equal 2.2 trillion. Not even in the same zip code. So again, where did it all go?

Oh... wait. There it is -



That's 1.151 trillion rubles for "Capital Investments"? For a retail grocery store chain? :bow:

Let's take a moment of silence in memory of the idiots that bought Kirill Dmitriev's Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) road show pitch last year. :lol:

Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan tells Putin this evening why Yerevan has suspended participation in the Russian-led CSTO military alliance:

"We’ve never hidden this. Back in 2022, we had a very specific situation, and the CSTO mechanisms should have kicked in, but they didn’t. And that’s what led to where things stand now in our relationship with the CSTO.

"Right now, we’re not taking part in its work for a simple reason: we still can’t explain to our people why the organisation didn’t respond, despite the commitments in the treaty."

1300km from Ukrainian border. That's long range and from the looks of it, substantial payload. Another target that may be under-defended. The shell game continues.

Two observations - firstly, he is naming specific targets in Moscow, initiating the narrative that Moscow will be targeted by these missiles later this year; and secondly, we should soon see a campaign to clear the air defense units protecting this city. Just as for Crimea, Krasnodor Krai and Leningrad, a new corridor of undefended air space will be soon established to Moscow itself.

quote:

Shtilerman said Ukraine is developing a ballistic missile (FP-9) with up to 850 km range, it is expected ready by mid-2026, and stated 20-30 of them should be launched at Moscow and targets like the Russian General Staff headquarters, Ministry of Defense and the Moscow Oil Refinery.

6,000,000,000 / x = 140,000,000. You do understand the $50 is cost of the crude to extract and get to a port.

Try harder, you keep failing to impress anyone with your comments.

Once again, that isn't the point. All of your denial and weak deflection isn't going to make that go away.

That $6 billion into the Russian war effort is a gift from Trump. Totally unnecessary, unless of course you're being blackmailed with the Epstein files.

I'll ignore your math and especially your juvenile obsession with male sexual function and just ask that you re-read this:

doesn't amount to more than 6 billion extra for Russia if at full price


Which of course is the entire point. That $6 billion into the Russian war effort is a gift from Trump. Totally unnessary, unless of course you're being blackmailed with the Epstein files.
For those of us not being blackmailed by the Kremlin, please explain how this helps the oil shortage.

Just a mystery why the Russians can't get volunteers for their drone operation units. Except for schoolchildren...

But not as bad as Russian refining's week. More on the Nizhnekamsk attack -

Nizhnekamsk, Russia. The explosion’s epicenter was at Nizhnekamskneftekhim, a major petrochemical plant directly linked to the Taneco refinery, which supplies it with feedstock.

It’s one of largest producers of synthetic rubber and plastics, the facility is a key part of Russia’s petrochemical industry. It also supports Russia’s military industry by providing materials used in tires, equipment, and various defense-related products.
quote:

Damage was reported up to 8 km away. The factory produces ~35% of the world’s isoprene rubber and appears heavily damaged.


Fortunately, the Ukrainians are applying their own sanctions. And yes, they will also be extended indefinitely.

Long posts or short, you are still avoiding the facts. Here they are again, they're not going away -

quote:

We're giving Iranians billions of $ by letting them sell oil to China, which they use to buy drones from Russia.

And, we're allowing Russia to sell oil so they can fund attacks against Ukraine and our own troops.


quote:

Hmmm...The EU still gets 13% of it's natural gas from Russia...right now. $7+ billion dollars worth last year. They are trying to wean off it by the end of 2026

Again, more of your denial. The point made was that TACO removed the sanctions from both Russia and Iran.

None of your whatabout rationalizations concerning EU purchases will change that.
Slash health spending to support the military budget? Where have we heard this before?

Oh yeah, it's the Hegseth budget.
