"What is this, I'm shocked. Will there even be enough for everyone or not? What kind of shortage year is this?"

The fifth year of Putin's full-scale war.

Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv

After losing the refinery responsible for 40% of the city's fuel supplies, the gasoline situation in Moscow continues to spiral, with Moscovites comparing the hours-long fuel lines to the sausage lines of the USSR.

His invention of the "opti grab" cracked me up but it made everyone cross eyed and he got sued out of his fortune...Another movie quip I liked was "Pizza in a cup"...and I always remember his father's advice: "The Lord loves a working man, Don't trust Whitey and See a doctor and get rid of it"...Oh, and his pet dog, "Shithead"...

Not so many Russian soldiers for the meat grinder come from the more populated areas of the traditional Russian-speaking areas. They come from ethnic minority groups usually beyond the Urals or from poor rural communities.

Some of the ethnic groups have been walloped by the losses. But they're poor and far away.

In a lot of ways. I mean I know the refinery was blown up and all, but just recently Trump's been trying to paint a scary storyline ("4 weeks", "bedlam" ) re: what would've happened if he didn't make a deal and therefore ... scary shortages! Plus it's a cheap way to seem like he's calling out problems in Russia, but they're one's that handler-Putin knows won't actually get PLAYED there.

Even if it is talked about, I don't think Putin thinks this really hurts him anyway. People there have dealt with worse hardships. He can use it for jingoistic propaganda against Ukraine, call them terraists, etc.

Trump will be touting this story, mark my words.
