I would also like to use this opportunity to congratulate our resident Kremlin apologists in this thread з днeм Heзaлeжнocтi Укpaїни and may your return to reality be long and painful. Speaking of which, some of them seem to be missing for a while. Come back, let us know what to make of all the fires and other accidents befalling the glorious Russian forces.

From what? Gas? That's the problem: hydrogen isn't an energy source, it's an energy carrier.

No, you can't have a conversation like that. You can lie stupidly and primitively only in Russia
I am extremely calm, moreover, when I read your opuses, the feeling is that there is only one positive in the circus.
And we'll be back. YOU, personally, a couple of posts above said that even before the war (before 2014, that's what I said earlier), Ukraine had plans to join NATO prescribed in the legislation. And again he habitually lied - the document refers to 2018, which I showed with a link to this document
But now you start to wag and talk nonsense about connections, ideas, "just wanted to." Partnership is not a synonym for "enshrined in the Constitution." Changing standards is not the same as "joining NATO". Having relations with a military-political bloc does not mean being part of it!

At 200, Russia itself wanted to join NATO, the Kremlin's bald geek spoke about this - on YouTube you will find his speech about this

One recommendation - DO NOT lie always and everywhere. With or without reason! You are not in Russia!

Natural gas isn't scarce. It's still very cheap in many countries. Transportation is what gets you, and hydrogen would be no different even if it would be abundent somewhere (which it isn't).

And to the user who mentioned the need to switch to hydrogen:
yes, it was the plan in Europe...with hydrogen coming from...Russia  

Not to worry, as long as Russians are dying in droves, everything is going according to Putin's plan. LOL.

The proverbial 'heavy smoker' who sank the Moskva cruiser swam to Crimea and now he is smoking his cigarettes all over Crimea.

Russians will be dying as long as they stay in Ukraine. End of story.

Oil is at 87, once we get to 65-70, Putin will have to dip into his 300B war chest to fund the government, AND the war.

EU/US/UK visa restrictions for Russians are coming, they will be followed by the criminalization of pro-Russian support in the West, and I am
guessing asset confiscations, revocations of residencies and citizenships, and eventually deportations back to mother Russia.

So pack your bags. Bundesnachrichtendienst will be knocking on your doors soon.

non-smoking signs are not working as expected. Crimea has suffered some mysterious explosions in fuel depots, electric facilities and military basis. Since all HIMARS have been destroyed by "precision-posting" from the Kremlin trolls on this thread, there has to be another explanation for all these. Maybe is the heat of summer that is making things explode, that must be it. The RF should now consider sending cooling equipment to the front.

@be.open. Do you think that the key difference between a war and a special operation is that Russia conducts this operation with a peacetime army, without mass mobilization. We open Wikipedia and read: "War is a conflict between political entities (states, tribes, political groups, and so on), occurring on the basis of various claims, in the form of armed confrontation, military (combat) actions between their armed forces."
As you can see, humanity considers any hostilities between the armed forces of different countries to be a war. In Russia, there may be a dissenting opinion about the name of the military seizure of the territory of another state, but this does not change anything for other states.

Are you saying that in Russia they perfectly understand what denazification is?
The Russian anonymous Telegram channel "General SVR" reported that on Monday, August 15, very unpleasant data was put on the table for the dictator of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. We are talking about the results of a sociological survey of Russians about the situation in the country. Thus, among Russians, only 16% "are sure they understand" ... the goals and objectives of the "special operation" (SVO). 41% support the implementation of SVO, 48% do not support it, the remaining 11% do not have a clear opinion. 37% positively assess the president's actions regarding the "special operation",

@be.open. You say that the goal of Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine in February was the protection and liberation of Donbass, the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. I wonder how, in your understanding, a special operation in this case differs from a war, if you use this term?

Protecting the population of Donbass must first of all include physical protection. What we observed in the Donbass can hardly be called protection. Not being able to break through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian invaders chose the traditional tactics of a barrage of fire. This is when a certain territory is shelled with artillery and other various types of weapons, after which the Russians go almost to scorched earth. The percentage of civilians in Donbass with such tactics of "liberation" remains very small. In this case, the Russians do not conquer cities and other settlements, but practically only ruins, mostly destroying its civilians. I understand that this is what you call the protection and liberation of the inhabitants of Donbass.

If the term "demilitarization" can mean the destruction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then what does "denazification" mean in your understanding? Even in Russia itself, this is still not understood. Should this be understood as the destruction of Ukraine as a nation?

But if we look at how the events unfolded, then from February 24, the Russians wanted to quickly seize the entire territory of Ukraine from three sides at once. Having lost a huge number of troops and equipment, they were forced to leave the northern and central parts of Ukraine in order to avoid complete defeat. And then the plans of the invaders changed: realizing that they could not capture the whole of Ukraine, they focused only on the capture of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and southern Ukraine. And how, the "special operation" has been going according to plan for the sixth month already? The next gesture of "goodwill" will most likely be the retreat from the right bank of the Ukraine from the Dnieper of that approximately 20,000-strong grouping, which actually fell into an encirclement. It is still possible for the Russians to escape on foot across the dilapidated bridges. Next, you just have to swim.

Absolutely right. In Russia, the goals and reasons for the attack on Ukraine are periodically changed, and this testifies to the constant and continuous lies that now permeate the entire domestic and foreign policy of this state. Russia needs Ukraine, its territory, its hardworking and intelligent people, it needs its history to appropriate it for itself, but it does not need an independent state itself and does not need a freedom-loving nation next to this authoritarian country.
Ukraine posed no threat to Russia, whether it was in NATO or not. But Ukraine in NATO would be inaccessible to Russian attack, and therefore they rushed to try to capture it. Thus, Russia made a fatal mistake for itself.

I can answer your question about the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP.

Putin and his entourage have already understood that the war in Ukraine is lost for them and are trying to blackmail the inhabitants of the planet with the nuclear threat they themselves created. They need this in order to quickly end the unsuccessfully launched war on more or less acceptable terms for themselves. Having seized the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine, they interfere in the technological processes, placed artillery and multiple launch rocket systems on its territory and fire them at other settlements in Ukraine, hoping that they will not be fired at in response. Recently, they have mined the nuclear power plant and spread the word that if they have to withdraw, they will blow it up. In this case, the scale of the accident will exceed the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by about ten times. In addition, they themselves began to fire at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and say that the Ukrainians are doing it. Why do they need it?

Now, on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the most combat-ready units of the two Russian armies, totaling approximately 20,000 people, are practically surrounded. Four bridges, through which the Russians could supply these troops with equipment and ammunition, are now damaged by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and it is no longer possible to transport anything over them. In addition, these bridges are under the full fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are capable of striking them at any time. Russia can no longer do anything about this, since Russia already has problems with "live meat", and every day the Armed Forces of Ukraine methodically deliver precision strikes against ammunition depots, command posts and concentrations of Russian troops. Under such conditions, Putin's entourage is looking for ways to end the war, or at least withdraw troops from the region without looking like a defeat. So they create tension around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to explain the need to demilitarize this territory and explain the reason for the withdrawal of their troops from it. Although it will be very difficult to withdraw. Russian troops pressed against the Dnieper will have to abandon their unfinished military equipment and cross the wide Dnieper by swimming or using improvised means. In the near future we will see how further events will unfold.

Everyone considers what Russia could give to the world, and nobody asks what could world give to Russia. What you are forgetting is that while they may have some things that the world wants, we shouldn't forget that there are a lot of things that the world can provide which Russia wants. Even something as simple as a facebook ad goes from a Russians pocket to Mark Zuckerberg’s pocket with that logic.

This is why it is quite important that if the world finds a way to not use oil or gas or wheat from Russia, and yet in the future Russians still use products from other nations, the money that they have right now would go down more and more and more, which will put them in trouble.

Financial affairs in Russia are not so good. Indeed, due to higher energy prices, the fall of the Russian economy in 2022 has undergone an adjustment from 10–30% to 6–9.5%. And the level of annual inflation decreased from the projected 20% to 12-15%.

However, the sanctions have already affected the domestic economy. The reduction in the production of Russian cars in June was 62% compared to this month last year. Industrial production in June fell by 1.8% compared to the same period in 2021. The main sanctions against the Russian energy sector have not yet entered into force. December 5 will earn sanctions on the export of Russian offshore oil to the European Union. February 5, 2023 - Russian oil products.

The volume of sales of Russian gas to Europe is now a third of last year's level. It looks like it will decline from now on, and will practically stop no later than 2024. Then Germany expects to be completely independent of Russian gas. After the entry into force of all European sanctions in the oil and gas sector, Russia's income from energy exports is expected to decrease by 40%.

Russia is reducing gas supplies to the countries of the European Union, therefore losing its main sales market. After the end of the war with Ukraine, economic ties with the Russian Federation will not resume for a long time, and therefore the impact of sanctions will continue to operate for some time even after they are lifted.

Of course you use your technical superiority to shoot like real cowards from afar and kill children in schools and people in shopping centers, but in close battles Ukrainians teach you lessons about what it means to be a true patriot. When Ukrainians target legitimate military targets anywhere in the occupied territory, you call them terrorists...


We saw this a few days ago, when the Ukrainians prepared summer fireworks for you in Crimea, even 300 kilometers from the front line - the superior planes of the fifth and sixth generation did not even manage to take off - a great success of the Russian military aviation. Money and military supremacy are not always decisive in war, and your Serbian brothers can confirm that because they are still whining about the defeat they experienced more than 30 years ago.


You mean these superior helicopters that the Ukrainians destroy without any problems?

It is true that modern military planes are terribly expensive, and pilot training is demanding, expensive and time-consuming, but the fact is that you cannot skimp on such things if you want to achieve superiority in the air. The fact is that Ukraine has very successfully defended its airspace since the beginning of the invasion, and today it is doing it even better and more efficiently. Drones are of course something that is being used more and more, but military planes are still something that every sovereign country that cares about its security wants to have.

Speaking of drones, these days I am reading news about Russia buying drones from Iran (Shahed-129 and Shahed-191) and that the Russian delegation has already visited the Kasan air base several times to see for themselves their capabilities.

And maybe it is not enough today, but I guarantee you that it will be enough in the long term because tech is ever improving and we will have a much better one eventually, the price would drop and improvements and new features would make it a viable source of energy to whole Europe.

Maybe slightly more money, but Russia will go bankrupt by that time and learn their lessons and will not attack anywhere anymore since the finances will be in terrible condition when they fail to sell anything to anyone. They are doing fine now thanks to gas and oil prices going up, but what if they fail to sell it to anyone in the future?

The situation in Russia is well described by this funny phrase: "...things in the country were going badly. That is, not so bad, one could even say good, but every year it gets worse and worse"

A certain surge of income, due to the economic terror of the EU, looks like a premortal, unexpected activity of a dying person. It happens - a person fades away, he gets worse and worse, and then such a surge of activity, he looks like he is recovering ... but after 3-5 days he dies. The same is happening with Russia. The next 3-4 months will be critical for Russia - an irreversible loss of the European market for gas supplies. Even Germany turned away from the bloody ghouls from the Kremlin! Ahead is the EU's rejection of Russian oil, to be more precise - tanker oil, which makes up the bulk of deliveries to the EU (a pipeline, if I'm not mistaken, something like - up to 15% of the total). The costs of "maintaining" the ruble (should the people be shown a beautiful fairy tale before they die? ) are enormous. Even more huge costs of war and terror in Ukraine. Especially after the friends of Ukraine supplied Ukraine with high-tech weapons - the losses and losses of Russia are growing unrealistically quickly and on a large scale. And Western technologies are no longer there ... And they won’t be!
In a word - watch the patient, and do not miss the moment to say goodbye to him while he is still moving

Welll done! Man, you got them nothing escapes your insight. All is fake, all psi games, nothing is happening. There is no concentration of troops, there will never be an offensive, you are all right and RF will just be there forever. In fact, you can move all your troops out, there is nothing coming so no need to keep them there.

Why do you think the RF troops are there? No need.

Ему даже всё равно, что запукры пытаются Чернобыль-2 устроить всей Укроляндии и Европе.
Наверное, он ещё и радоваться будет, если они разъебут ЗАЭС, потому что там "русня" ведь давно.
