Also bunker fuel being burned in ocean shipping. Since there very little regulation they burn some of the worst sulfur-emitting fuel. A single container ship emits the equivalent of something like a few hundred thousand every car on the planet, as I recall
I don’t think the Kremlin can wage a war of attrition like Russia did in the past, and it certainly can’t like the USSR.
They’re burning through leftovers from the USSR and not replacing them. They’re in a demographic crunch even without the war, and the Kremlin’s mobilization was deeply unpopular.
Their economy is running hot in an unsustainable way. As long as Ukraine can keep pulling support from other democracies more than the Kremlin pulls it from other dictatorships, I think time is on Ukraine’s side.
The continued depletion of advanced Russian air defense assets is certainly an issue that has led to critical gaps in air defenses, especially of critical targets deep inside Russia.
I hope to see more refineries hit until the Kremlin pulls it’s troops out of Ukraine.
The fact that the Kremlin is threatening them just makes me think they’re right. I hope Americans can get their shit together and elect Biden. Trump is compromised
