Don't forget to donate, Ukraine's cause is ours! Support Ukraine!
I don’t know exactly what is misinformation or correct, but it is clear that raffineries, oil depots, and infrastructure are under attack in a third country now.
Certainly up to 10-15 as has been written about.

This is outside the MENA and RU conflict zones.
Who isn’t it?
Not Europe at least, I also thought not China but maybe they will strike back against the USA?
RU and Iran – absolutely.
We will have a very severe fuel crisis from this…
Just in time for the financial crisis to roll in.
All created by war or sabotage.
I thought this would come in the winter of 2026 but it came now – the attack on our energy systems.
It will hit us hard this winter if it continues…
Also unrest in Europe, many demonstrations from all kinds of people.
Now it has started
A way forward, support Ukraine.
Anything else is a bad alternative.
A comment was made by grok (x ai), who says:
“Etoile (Nacogdoches County, East Texas) isn’t part of any major active oil field. The historic East Texas Oil Field peaked in the 1930s-40s and is now mostly depleted. Current output there is tiny vs. the Permian Basin, which drives nearly all of Texas’s ~5M+ bpd production.
Even if this single-well fire is confirmed, zero impact on crude prices, refining, or fuel supply.”
Could be The Old One trying to cause disorder and/or bored. ADHD?
Well, I’m starting to get worried about his walker revenge against me 😅
Trying to smooth things over now
Too little, too late…
Russia, which has noticed that sanctions are eased when access is cut off? Activates the GRU.
Posting my morning posts in the old thread as well to increase the daily total 👍
There were some people in there commenting, so don’t miss that discussion.
Dengamle hasn’t realized that a new post has been made 👍
Just because I tried to respond to your confused posts, I stayed a little longer. 😡
Good morning my good friend, hope your morning is as sunny as mine.
(have a raging sore throat combined with chills, but it is sunny).
Apparently 11

Can’t do this but sounds plausible?
The dollar is going up?
The USA, those BASTARDS, do what is good for them?

But is a strong dollar good for the USA? Does anyone know?
Can increase the inflow of foreign capital which Trump may need in the war. Strengthens purchasing power and can boost the American economy as well as make imported consumer goods cheaper despite tariffs. Worsens exports but the world has reduced purchases of American war materiel, the available ones.
The USA needs everyone to buy their national debt – if the dollar is stable, they probably do?
US exports increase because they have BOMBED TO PIECES everyone else’s exports.
A stronger dollar is probably good anyway, everyone has to buy from them, right?
Yes, the USA is increasing its raw material exports somewhat in the short term, and the dollar strengthens as long as the acute phase of the conflict continues.
In the medium term, more redundancy is being built into the global energy infrastructure, for example by transporting even more oil via pipeline to become less dependent on transport through the Strait of Hormuz, as well as other oil producers such as those in Africa, South America, and Canada expanding and increasing their production. This is combined with the acceleration of the transition away from fossil energy sources, and the process toward increased and deeper European integration. The USA’s current allies have already begun to strengthen their ties among themselves to reduce their dependence on an increasingly unpredictable and chauvinistic USA. This will lead to less and less leverage for the current and future American administrations, which will still have to struggle with an unmanageable budget deficit and a soaring national debt.
Europe is beginning, albeit somewhat groggily, to realize its own strength and enormous potential, and slowly gaining more stability in its military backbone. This is happening at the same time as Ukraine appears to have seriously gripped the Russian pack and begun to strangle the increasingly toothless, flea-ridden, and shabby bear.
Trump is also slowly losing the right-wing populist weapon from his own hands, both in the USA but increasingly in Europe, as receiving support from him and his administration is more and more seen as a kiss of death that does not resonate with voters.
If only Europe holds on and endures, we will come out of the sewer clean and reborn
(think of the analogy from the film The Shawshank Redemption with Tim Robbins).
2008 crisis but also with global conflict, fun…
Record-breaking (last 12 months) ratio Ukrainian vs Russian attacks: 2 Ukrainian attacks per three Russian. The Russian local peak yesterday was not matched but did not fall back as much as the last peak, could be about an escalating every-other-day pattern. ⚠️

Unlocalizes was 30 a few months ago, right?
increased significantly?
Yes:
Game on Russian bastards 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I really have to say unfortunately here, but it seems like the Trump gang is making billions from insider trading, which we have discussed for a long time, but now it is epidemic.
If it crashes but you got two billion, you will probably manage the bills for a few years during the crisis THEY CREATED.
Then US exports increase and they have had to take the bill for the war.
The dollar seems to remain somewhat strong?
Europe will be forced to buy everything from the US at five times the price in the coming years.
Everyone else loses on this except RU, which gets a free pass on everything from the US – and which will increase the threat against us…
RU has nothing to lose and even MXT will be forced to twist it to say he always thought so soon.
We will have a wave of layoffs, frozen banks, and a housing price crisis in about half a year of course, all bad things at once – that’s always how it goes.
Now shipping is starting to shake too, I saw, and then of course inflation again.
Endlessly slow this is, and as Dengamle, the living legend, said – support Ukraine now.
Australia is in a bad position.
This has only just begun unfortunately.
curious for more info about Australia, what is happening there besides burning raff?
They have done like Europe by shutting down everything with the difference that they do not get from Norway, Canada, or the USA.
They have most of their oil, LNG, and fuel imports from areas that have gone down to zero.
then fertilizer…
and their export is to Asia – haven’t heard anything yet but in China, if they do, they will probably do it.
Somewhat the same as in Europe – angry citizens who will demonstrate and Islamists, gangs, and criminal clans.
Only that they are more sensitive than us, a small lonely country over in Asia where the conflict will probably make import-export more difficult when the war gets underway
The USA will try to export the fallout of the upcoming crisis to someone other than themselves, and I think it looks like they are succeeding so far…
Since you are reading the thread, you know that all the bad things that come and the media try to find explanatory models for were entirely created from 2025 until it broke.
Must comment on Amnesty’s report, unfortunately no link, heard it on TV4.
It rightly addressed the madness in the world with all the major insane wars, but they found two bright spots that gave hope. They were:
1. Neighbors defended people that ICE was going to imprison.
2. There was a large Pride parade in Budapest.
Don’t know if I feel more hopeful. 😳
I would like to add that I have nothing against the bright spots.
I feel hopeful now, thank you for the hope that has been ignited 👍👍
