Russia, Having 'Run Out Of Missiles', Launches Barrage On Ukraine Back in March I had warned that Lies Do Not Win Wars. Here is another practical example.

After allegedly having 'run out of missiles' and, more importantly, patience, the leadership of the Russian Federation decided to de-electrify Ukrainian cities with a 'barrage of missile strikes'.

But first came the propaganda blubber:

'We Haven't Started Yet,' Putin Says in Hawkish Speech on Ukraine Invasion - Haaretz - Jul 7, 2022

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had barely got started in Ukraine and dared the West to try to defeat it on the battlefield, while insisting that Moscow was still open to the idea of peace talks.
...
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. What can you say, let them try," he said. "We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it seems that everything is heading towards this."
...
"Everyone should know that, by and large, we haven't started anything yet in earnest," he added. "At the same time, we don't reject peace talks. But those who reject them should know that the further it goes, the harder it will be for them to negotiate with us."

Russia Unleashes Biggest Barrage of Strikes on Ukraine Since Invasion - WSJ - Oct 10, 2022
Cities throughout Ukraine, including Kyiv, are bombarded after Putin slams Ukraine over Crimea bridge blast

KYIV, Ukraine—Russia carried out waves of strikes on several Ukrainian cities including the capital in the broadest and most intense onslaught since the start of the invasion, after President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of a “terrorist attack” on a critical bridge connecting Russia’s mainland to the occupied Crimean Peninsula. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had carried out dozens of strikes using missiles as well as Iranian-made drones to target civilian and power infrastructure. “They want panic and chaos,” he said. “They want to destroy our energy system.”

Ukraine "under missile attack" as explosions rock Kyiv and other cities - CBSNews - Oct 10, 2022

Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office, said on social media Monday that, "Ukraine is under missile attack. There is information about strikes in many cities of our country." General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said on Twitter that Russia had launched 75 missiles at Ukraine but that "41 of them were neutralized by our air defence."

Zelenskyy later emerged onto a street in Kyiv to record a selfie video with a message to his people and the world, denouncing Russia for the barrage of missiles which he said had targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and its civilians.

Kiev, Lviv, Karkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog all report damage to their electricity infrastructure.

" yet in the next 30 weeks, there's a good chance we won't have to worry about 'global warming' for the rest of our natural lives."

Nuclear winter would put an end to that discussion. However, I suspect that nobody is saying, "Let's not build that new wind farm, cuz the world might end in 30 weeks."

"Thanks to the world putting the cart before the horse, we became much more dependent on RuZZian fossil fuels than ever before"

Most of the world still uses carbon as the primary energy source, but isn't buying Russian carbon, so we are less dependent on Russia. Was the world ready to go cold-turkey on Russia? No. Before the war, did countries have plans to commission enuf alternative energy sources this year to replace Russian energy? No. Those who relied on Russian energy are definitely making a sacrifice, in the name of "Western democracy", and those who didn't rely on Russia, but still rely on carbon, might find themselves out-bid on the global market.

I think the only country to put the cart B4 the horse was Germany, which decommissioned nukes before building replacements. That was because of Fukashima, not global warming.

"That, more than anything the Boss Baby did, encouraged PooTin to invade Ukraine."

I think Boss Baby's failed insurrection gave Putin all the encouragement he needed. With Trump out of office, he knew Biden would never give him the keys to Kiev, so he need war to re-build the Russia Empire of his youth..

I know you would like to blame everything on Biden, but OPEC production peaked under Obama, turned down the month Trump was elected, later collapsed on his watch, and still hasn't recovered, as you can see from this graph.

The OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) for September 2022 was published recently. The last month reported in most of the OPEC charts that follow is August 2022 and output reported for OPEC nations is crude oil output in thousands of barrels per day (kb/d). In most of the OPEC charts that follow the blue line is monthly output and the red line is the centered twelve month average (CTMA) output.
