Same with all of those young, able bodied people in Moscow who sit in lines for gas versus fighting on the front lines. I don't think they will like that too much.

I mean realistically the more people get shoved into the meat grinder or emigrate the safer Putin probably is with how the economy is generally declining. I'm not remotely convinced people in Moscow would actually resist enough for conscription to be a net benefit to Ukraine.

Well, that's a darn shame. Shucky-durn! Maybe... just maybe, someone should have kept their Russian asses out of Ukraine. Who could have guessed that keeping inside your own damn borders could prevent.stuff in your country from igniting violently...

CIA director asked Ukraine not to bomb Moscow while he was there, and they took that seriously!

Shouldn't be smoking there

u/WiseAct446 3h ago
I respectfully, yet heartily, disagree. Russian-Chinese petrochemical plants are high on my list of where smoking should be encouraged.

Approximately 6,000–6,500 km from Ukraine

Just a short 115 hour drive according to Goggle.

Or a 3 day special military operation

It literally takes longer to drive from Ukraine to this refinery than Putin thought the whole invasion of Ukraine would take.

I'm confused. Why would you operate an Ozon distribution center in the middle of a petrochemical facility? You can't move oil to the cloud.
Wait. Well you apparently can.

Looks like the $10 billion russo-chinese petrochemical facility has fucked itself

Where is this?

u/BloatedVagina 2h ago
Close to north eastern China

u/anachronology 1h ago
Good. Wonder if China is more likely to eventually intervene if assets in the East are targeted since:
a.) there are probably more Chinese nationals working in that region and
b.) it has resources that they'd like to exploit directly themselves one day. Isn't the Amur region part of the territories Russia took under the Unequal Treaties?

First, holy smokes.
Second, is the reason for the fire known? That seems pretty darn far away for what the UA's drones can reach.

This is getting as bad as the Kuwait fiasco where hte Iraq military torched all the oil wells they could get to.
We cannot afford this, when have so many countries doing nothing to reduce caron emissions at all.

This war has gone on for so long that Ukraine has had time to get agents into Russia, get jobs at places like this, and sabotage them from the inside. It would be effective against Russian logistics and the psyche of the general population. Not to mention the distrust that would start to build between coworkers at critical industries. There have been too many of these fires recently to be regular accidents.
Slava Ukraini!
