They blew up an oil depot, but didn't hinder any oil supplies?
How does that work, and why would they blow it up if it wasn't going to affect anything

Meanwhile, here in the U.S. we have a problem with chemical derailments near water and farms 😂

Well, that’s a lot of pollution hitting the air…

[elatomala]

That should be GREAT for the Environment in Ukraine!

I'm one of many who want the hatred and the violence around the world to stop! Do good things for others! No more wars! Wishful thinking, but it's a start, right?

The counter offensive is starting.
The Abram and Leopard tanks are locked and loaded.
Russia is about to go through some things.

Damned shame the rest of the tank farm did not go up as well.

It’s not your Provence anymore. Ukraine is coming home.

I can see the price of gasoline going up from here.

[danielsav]

So much for the green energy and clean air. No pollution at all.

[mikepict]

The oil was probably going to fuel tanks anyway

Putin: you were complaining about the cold so I pressed a red button and there is the heat! Enjoy it, tovaritch

Anyone else read "cinnamon roll" and felt more sad than when they read the right thing?

[Hexxedtone]

And we're supposed to feel bad about your Russian plant ? I'm so glad they blew it up

[barbiedahl]

This is what happens when you target civilian energy facilities, reprisal.

[dwarlord]

Sounds like another reason to raise up the price for Americans gasoline another $2 at the pumps.

'Its not American gas!'
Why should that hold John Rockefeller back from making a profit off of someone else misfortune.

Lots of attacks on resources lately. Someone is preparing to go the distance.
