That probably won't work, because the driver can just sit there in traffic all day, but it does make me wonder about the prospect of armed hijackings of tanker trucks, if gasoline becomes valuable enough on the black market.

Great!

Those kind of activities are helping Ukraine.
It further incites unrest, because others get pissed.
It weakens the military, because they might be affected.
It blocks, the roads.
...

Keep going!

The longer this goes on, the more likely roads will just get blocked from abandoned cars dying mid trip as well

"Why is this happening to us?" Do they really not know at this point?

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 11 points 12 hours ago

A part of them do know, but saying it out loud is bad for your health, so better to ask the question but leave it unanswered.

In my head, I'm building this nice pool and it's filling up ever so quickly with all the tears of those delusioned crying people I collect in my mind. Is it evil to enjoy it? Is it their fault falling for propaganda or are they truly believing their words? I dunno. But I also don't care anymore. It's been so long to still fall for this bs. Time for the dildo of consequences. And yes, I want this to end and to end in a positive way for everyone. Including russian civillians. But Putin needs this pressure, otherwise he will never stop. But I will enjoy every second of this state collapsing once again. Hopefully the last damn time for good.

None of them have any idea why this is happening. News blackout and propaganda is severe there geez

I’m sure their state media blocks all this, but how much gets through on the internet? Some of them must have some idea.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago

Maybe they just don’t say it but know from social or chat groups but seems way less so than I’d think. They just always are dumbfounded

The only thing missing for USSR bingo is another work gulag to send uppity civillians to.

EDIT: Isnt this a port city? Why don't they just buy some gas from their good friends in Iran? OH WAIT!

I'm waiting for Swan Lake myself.

When Russia falls this time, it needs to be stomped out permanently like a spent cigarette butt so it doesn’t rear its head ever again.

I feel like lots of the world is saying the same thing about the US

My heart pumps piss for them.
