Literally looks like hell.

The energy involved in a refinery fire never ceases to amaze me.

Wheeee! 😀

Oh, imagine getting sucked into the hole.

If there’s a big enough pressure difference, a human will be sucked through even a very small hole. Even just being stuck there until your air ran out wouldn’t be fun.

I think you’d be horrified by how little the typical American cares about Gaza, to be honest.

OK buddy.

I get the feeling Russia’s neighbours are collectively very sick of their shit.

I’m not sure how you got that from “we’re going to fix the economy”, but OK.

It happened again, after the first vessel got seized?

My impression of the Trump campaign is that they understood what issues their support base cared about, and did very well at talking about those issues.

Things like the economy, cost of living, crime etc were front and centre of their campaigns, and things like immigration ultimately stem from those issues.

Whether they actually make anything better is another question, but they definitely knew what to say.

You’re not sinking a large yacht with a drill, they have watertight compartments and massive bilge pumps.

Are you sure about that? Because almost every displacement hull vessel is steel.

Also, just do it properly and build a bomb. That’s a proven solution.

I think the reason that conspiracy theory has gained so much traction, is Just Stop Oil have been so incompetent, so annoying, and have pissed off so many people, all while completely failing to even slow down oil.

I can see why people would think they’re double agents.

The height of those chimneys is probably publicallly known, right? So from that you could work out the height of the flames.

Damn that’s impressive.

Yep. People don’t get that you don’t end up offside with an entire town by being a pleasant person.

Apparently mods can and do ban people who just downvote everything they see, there’s even been posts here about it.

Perhaps this is the solution?

And millions of dollars, too. 😍🥰

It never ceases to amaze me how big the flames are when an oil refinery burns.

There is such a thing as secondary sanctions, IE sanctioning a country that does business with a sanctioned country, and that’s precisely what China has been threatened with if they do business with Russia.

And Russia’s economy is the same size as some US states, so China would much rather stay on good terms with the USA.

SpaceX got started because the Russians were dicks to Musk and refused to launch satellites for him, and he’s taken a lot of business from them.

What makes you think they have anything on him?

Given the potato quality such a tape would be, if it exists, he could claim its AI, and it would be extremely difficult to prove him wrong.

Also, I think supporting Ukraine is actually quite popular with his support base.
