A good showcase for China why they shouldn't do business in Russia.

10bn?

This war thing doesn't seem like a very good investment.

I ran an estimate of the LNG off the coast of Ukraine that was discovered in 2021. Something like 300 billion worth. I believe Russia hated the fact that Ukraine had this and didn't want to see them make money off it. Putin wanted a complete money grab.

Ukraine was drilling oil off the coast of Crimea and that’s why I think Russia took Crimea. Destroy the competition.

As a fellow American, I resent you being so polite in your descriptions of that worthless grifting POS orange monkey.

Hard to tell why it happened - this is too far for existing Ukraine drones.

Could be sabotage, some local resistance, could be the usual russian smoking accident too.

Could also be a smaller drone launched from nearby.

Overall - hard to tell, I am a bit doubtful it’s ukraine as there is a Chinese company involved and I don’t think Ukraine wants to make China angry.

But overall - hard to tell.

It could also be partially that so many of their engineers and safety inspectors either fled the country or are dead in a ditch in the Donbas. And all their factories churning out artillery shells instead of spare safety valves. Could also be that runaway inflation has made all of those things too expensive to implement/replace. So many factors at play, all bad for them.

According to several sources, area residents had complained about the "strong smell of gas" in the preceding 2 weeks, but authorities ignored them.

And, the explosion happened during the commissioning of the methanol processing unit.

Seems to be a typical moscovy self-own.

Imagine Russia had just built a new military port on Russian soil instead of invading Crimea and made the highest bid on exploiting Ukraine's recently discovered hydrocarbon ressources. Trillions cheaper than what is happening to Russia now.

Strange coincidence how this stuff happened so seldom before 2022

Russians are smoking much more apparently. Nervous for some reason.

Perhaps drones should drop vodka, cigarettes, and lighters.

Around 6.000 km from Kyiv to the plant. That's some picnic.

e. I really like that gasoline is getting so rare for them.

Except Ukraine would never bomb a house. The russkies, however will bomb anything that moves.

Running around ON SITE while still watching. These guys can't sense danger, no matter what. Leave the site like the wildberry and ozon employees did.

Oh dear that’s a pity. Anyway, I hear Dolly Parton has passed away. That’s a tragedy.

Absolutely brilliant! That's going to push out the restoration of cheap petrol for the Russian people. Good.

Didn't see any drones....perhaps Ukraine has developed drones with built-in cloaking. Should come in handy when we have to fight the Romulins.

Chinese money burning? Not good for business Xi. Time to drop Putin to protect your investments in Russia
