Russian convoy of tanks and trucks arrives at Snihurivka, Nikolaev. Reportedly, the locals did not protest. Kino stuff; looks like a main menu screen for a strategy game (link)

I see they're finally starting to pay attention to vehicle spacing.

“Today, I’m announcing the U.S. is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy,” Biden said. “We’re banning all imports of Russian oil, gas and energy.
“The American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.”
“We’re moving forward with this ban understanding that many of our European allies and partners may not be in a position to join us,” Biden said. “This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin, but there will be costs as well here in the U.S.”

I hate these faggots so much, it's not just the retarded policy which is bad enough, it's the attitude "Yes you will take getting fucked up the ass but you want it because you want to save Ukraine!!!" It's so infuriating.

Gee if only there was a key pipeline ready to go so we didn't have to depend on foreign oil.

Oh well.

Due to the disruption from the Ukrainian War, there are going to be biblical famines across much of Africa and Asia.

There wasn't enough vaccine uptake in Africa.

Europe is fucked, Qatar long ago stated that they cannot bridge the gap if Russia halts Natural Gas. Germany and parts of Central Europe are going into blackout mode within a month or two.

Edit: I don't see this Tweet. Where did you get it?

I'm not sure that Russia has stopped gas exports to Europe. Europe today announced a plan to be independent of Russian gas imports by 2030. Its a stunningly brave plan that says that investments in alternative energy will make the problem disappear because thinking makes it so. Based on what was announced today, there is no plan for Europe to move away from Russian gas at all.

In terms of the price of a barrel of oil, the peak price was $145. The current price today is 126.53.
"gas prices" in the US are variable and regional. They are harder to compare.

someone was nice enough to take all that pesky regional stuff out for you, so they can't be spun. Highest ever averages of us gas in history.

Also doesn’t understand that not everyone can just afford to cut off oil and coal to certain countries because not everyone is lucky with oil and coal reserves.

Very interesting, the Tweet exists: https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1501263002993004546#m but for a period of time Twitter prevented it from showing in the timeline.

This is an excellent summary of the neoliberal mindset. "Say the magic words, pass the magic laws, wave the money wand, and other people will make it happen."

It's like the OK sign....and /pol/ didn't have to do a thing.

If you pinch your thumb and index finger together in a straight fashion and stretch out your middle finger, you can make a nice Z.
Maybe this will catch on as the next hate symbol hand gesture lol

I haven't been following this that closely, but is there even any evidence of "mass civilian casualties" or anything like that?

Civilian casualties. Yes. Mass civilian casualties. No.

This is admittedly retarded-ignorant on my part, but my understanding is a huge portion of Ukrainians want to reintegrate with Russia.

I wouldn't be sure of that. If that were true, Ukraine would likely have collapsed militarily already.

It is very, very easy for the USA to ban Russian oil and gas from their markets when they know they have shit tons of reserves. Trump was able to make the country energy self-sufficient with little trouble so Biden and his ghouls know that they can do it, too. And now all the NPCs who were opposed to Trump doing it because of environmentalism are so busy calling for Russian blood that they'll get on board no trouble, their programming demands it.

Europe can't keep up with this though and the USA must know this. In setting this standard of response to Russia the USA is fucking virtually all of their central European allies. They can't be energy self-sufficient over night.

I am working in Slovakia now and fuck this I am going. I don't think the war will come here but their industry is absolutely fucked and if no one is making money then no one is going to have money to pay me.

These people (the Western governments and the lugenpress) want chaos and they are kike-niggers. I don't like them.

Glad to see the American embassy still serving its people even in the middle of a warzone, truly patriotic

It's just multicam. And if you wear cammies in public, you look autistic.

Sucks to suck, weeb. America is Japan's suzerain, by right of atomic buck-breaking.

I see people wear that RealTree stuff in my town sometimes, but then again we've got a big rural and hunting culture around here. I also see the occasional M81 woodland trousers or surplus jacket or something. A full BDU kinda deal though, yeah that might be taking it a bit far. Plus I'm not convinced that Multicam is as good as one would have you believe to begin with.

Depends on what you call 'mass' but according to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as of today it's 474 killed, 861 injured, both on territories controlled by Ukraine and the breakaway republics.

Damn, Now I have to go out and panic buy Iodine pills.
Not a wasted trip though. I still have to go out and load up on plastic based products. My cats gonna be pissed if he doesn't get to drink from red Pollo cups. It's what the humans do.
Our pets are the first to suffer.
I haven't seen Fancy Freast Chicken Pate at Publix in months.
Where's the EQUITY for Fur-Americans.

I couldn’t even listen to what he was saying because this is what I was looking at:

The fuck is going on here?

They really think that the average american will suck it up and adjust to the higher gas prices because some celebrities are okay with it? Good luck with that, the 2020 riots didn't directly affect many people besides those in major cities but the skyrocketing prices affects fucking everyone. Poor people who were conditioned enough to actually vote for pussy joe are going to notice the cause and effect even if there is a multi-billion dollar astoturf campaign media telling them otherwise.
