Ukrainians are hammering the dickens out of Russian refineries again tonight. A few miles of real estate one way or the other in Ukraine won't make much difference, I don't think.



Multiple Ukrainian drones have struck an oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai in Russia tonight. This week Ukraine attacked 8 oil refineries deep in Russia A Ukrainian defense source told CNN that Ukraine is “implementing a well-planned strategy to decrease Russian economic potential”


Already, there is a gasoline shortage in Russia - so much so that Russia will no longer export gasoline. In 2023 Russia exported 5.76 million tons of gasoline, mostly to Africa. 5.76 million tons is a lot of money. That's tons, not gallons.



Russian tanks, manned by Russians, are attacking Russian towns just inside the Russia/Ukraine border. They make their preparations in Ukraine and then launch their attacks into Russia. It's all intended to spoil Putin's big day and it will certainly keep some Russia army units busy, but it hasn't really spread much.

According to data (https://topcor.ru/index.php?do=go&ur...luZy1vZi1pdHMt YmF0dGFsaW9uLWdyb3VwLWFzc2lnbmVkLWZvci11a3JhaW5lLw %3D%3D) of the multilingual information and analytical publication SouthFront, Paris initially relied on the Foreign Legion, but its plans had to be adjusted:

On March 5, 2024, the military leadership of France and the command of the Legion approved the staffing of the battalion tactical group, which should include 1,500 military personnel.

This battalion tactical group includes three companies of the Legion that were previously assigned to this unit. These are: one logistics company; two engineering companies.

The battalion tactical group should also include: up to 6 motorized infantry and armored companies, as well as an operations team.
The French command failed to provide the stated strength of the battalion tactical group from members of the Legion.

That is why the French military leadership decided to fill the ranks of the group with personnel from the Ministry of the Armed Forces.

The estimated ratio of Foreign Legion members to Ministry of Armed Forces personnel in the newly formed battalion tactical group is approximately 1 to 2.

It is alleged that this battalion-tactical group is currently undergoing combat coordination and could be sent to Ukraine as early as the second half of April.

It is also alleged that Germany and Poland are preparing similar expeditionary forces, and other NATO countries may follow their example.

Since Russia feels that all of Ukraine belongs to them and since it is obvious the mentally challenged in the West will put troops in Ukraine you can bet Russia will retaliate by using tactical nukes. Keep pushing Putin.

A few days ago wasn't someone predicating the announcement of an airplane crash, to hide the casualties, full of US Patriot crewmen. Today its escalated to a third of the US 75th Ranger regiment and a quarter of France's Foreign Legion.

Only two options exist:

1) Russia wins.

2) Nuclear war and everyone dies. Putin has a "Dead Hand" feature in his nuclear arsenal that will assure world destruction if Russia is blasted with a maximum amount of Western nukes. And if the West only sends in their troops into Ukraine, Russia will quickly destroy them with conventional forces. If unable to do so, then Russia will use tactical nukes to destroy the Western forces which would quickly escalate into a total nuclear war and we would all die.
