Okay thats a serious hurt. In the past I have minimized drones on refineries due to the redundant multi streamed layout and the relatively small charges carried by drones. But an attack on a condensate plant can be crippling as what it handles are the gas solids and liquids (at standard pressures).

Every stage is akin to handling gasoline mixed with propane. A misstep in this process is super exciting.

We had a compressor station and a condensate seperstion process catch fire from a lightning strike. The platform burned for 3 days even with it completely shut in and the arrival and continued presence of firefighters (boat)

Result: Complete loss of all equipment and equipment skids.

This hit will probably be a bad one for the Soviets err Russians.

Russia is basically a few populated areas with a whole lot of empty, frozen nothingness. Basically Canada of the East.

Lol! You need a geography lesson.
Hint: where many Native Canadians live.
Eastern Canada is more populous than Western Canada.

I hate to say this, but crackpot articles like this just gives more credence to Russia’s notion that the “collective West” is trying to dismantle them. Not saying I agree with Russia, because I don’t; but it is what it is.

Russia's perception of what the US is thinking has nothing to do with what the US is really thinking, but their perception is the only thing that matters. Able Archer 83 is a perfect example of this.

They need to hit it multiple times to really put it out of commission.

And the US is going to invade Greenland. And annex Canada.

Throw me some more Things That Won't Happen.


A unified Russia? What the heck is he talking about? Russia is basically a few populated areas with a whole lot of empty, frozen nothingness. Basically Canada of the East.

I agree, however how is Russia going to perceive opinions like this? How would the US or Nato perceive it? Not well I would think.

How will the Russians perceive this

GERMANY is deploying their 45th Armored Brigade to #Lithuania to defend NATOs eastern flank. This is the first permanent #German combat brigade stationed abroad since WWII. 5000 men and more than 2000 pieces of combat equipment will be stationed close to the #Belarusian border.

Riga moves to block Russian grain transit to EuropeIt looks like Moscow’s previous provocations and threats have seriously angered Latvia.

The country is planning to impose a 300% tariff on grain from Russia and Belarus, Reuters reports. For Moscow, that would be especially painful now, with exports through the Black Sea and Sea of Azov severely disrupted and Baltic ports still serving as one of the fallback routes.

Around one million tons were transshipped through Latvia last year, but experts estimate that this year the volume could have increased by as much as tenfold.

And that’s not all. Starting next year, Latvia also wants to completely halt regular bus services to Russia and Belarus, including transit routes.At the moment, effectively only one route remains — Riga to Moscow, operated by Ecolines. Its permit is valid until January 9, 2027, and the authorities do not plan to renew it.
