I Examine economics, finance and their consequences. I support Ukraine; its struggle is the moral challenge of our time.

Railroad substation here; this may have been the target, it is hard to say:
47.27256329097156, 38.94443806463414
This is on Russia's main line from Rostov to the Ukrainian front, Kherson and Crimea.

It's easy to criticize Zelensky but it is more accurate to pummel Biden who did not want to even discuss a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
This wasn't fear of WWIII but rather anxiety about rising gasoline prices in the US. Institutionalized timidity in Europe didn't help.

Killing off the entire insurance industry would be an excellent step toward reducing the parasitic costs largely created by said industry.
So would killing off patent abuse and American Medical Association. These aren't godlike institutions from a holy mountain but the means to thievery.

Russia still has oil and gas to sell to the West and dump onto the international markets so the Kremlin's abuses of everyone stupid enough to play along with them will be ignored.

America consumes most of its fossil output.
Of course, consumption does not offer any organic returns!
Why else would America be hundreds of trillion$ of dollars in debt?

Here is Ukraine bingo card of targeted Russian refineries. Except for the Perm refinery which has escaped punishment so far, most of the others are either hit/damaged or out of range.

I'm guessing the reason why this facility and others like it aren't under constant, 24/7 bombardment is because planning these sorts of operations is complex and Ukraine hasn't enough drone operators.

Here is a pipeline pumping and distribution station. Russians have put anti-drone netting over the large fuel tank so it must be valuable:
44.117505972147335, 39.124480334994914
While much of the fuel leaving Tuapse is for sale, some is re-routed to Russian forces in Ukraine.

Oil exports are the largest supplier of Western credit to Russia's war effort.

In addition to burning signals, use drones to hit electric rail substations, diesel locomotives & rail support facilities.
Knock out a diesel locomotive and the Russians can't replace it w/o importing one from another part of Russia. Knock out a hundred and Russia's war effort stalls.
