Ukraine hits oil-pumping station on route to Russia’s biggest Black Sea export port, triggering fire

Said exactly this to my wife last night. We should all thank DJT for being so stupid that he helped the very thing he hates.

This is what I was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_destruction > In economics, demand destruction refers to a permanent or sustained decline in the demand for a certain good in response to persistent high prices or limited supply. Because of persistent high prices, consumers may decide that it is not worth purchasing as much of that good, or seek out alternatives as substitutes. My parents bit the bullet to buy a used EV and purchase a rooftop solar + battery storage to utilize with their EV. That means they're never going to be buying gasoline for driving again (except for rentals) and they will also be less dependent on the electrical grid that is largely fed by natural gas turbines. Electricity rates in their area has already gone up by over 50% in the past two years. The high gas price was the final straw.

Oh the destroying of soldiers is still in full swing, it's just that the territory stays the same more or less because it takes a lot of casualties to advance

Was WWI not a race to see who's economy crashed first?

Russia can keep replacing their soldiers far longer than Ukraine can. Targeting infrastructure wrecks Russian industry and degrades their ability to go on the offensive. If they can't pay for the war, they can't keep fighting.
