    Seems like OP is such a but, notice how he immediately turned “but West is even worse, they should just let Russia start unprovoked war on their borders”. BTW they love to work in pairs to help validate the message, and that’s the case with The other 2 week old account.

    And Ukraine relatively recently discovered the gas on their land. They had no time to build any infrastructure, because Russia invaded shortly after in 2014. Also Russia is occupying those territories since then, so nothing is being sold even if they wanted to.

      Unless you think Russia is capable of hacking google maps…

      Here’s an oil field owned by Halliburton in Ukraine. https://g.co/kgs/F7e761g

      For those of us not old enough to remember, Halliburton got famous for being deeply connected to George W. Bush’s Vice President, Dick Cheney, and profited massively from the Iraq war.

            Yeah, it is to increase internal gas production as they don’t want to purchase gas from Russia (which they stopped in 2015) as well as from Europe. Ukraine currently is not exporting any gas due to war as it needs to make sure they have enough.

            Maybe they hope they will make a killing once the war is over, but they are not making money “pumping gas out of Ukraine” right now. So the war actually is standing in the way of their profits.

              My Lord. Type “Halliburton oil Ukraine” into Google maps and look at the god-damned oil field that’s owned by a US company. Or look at how the US has has record natural gas exports every year since 2014.

              Or look up how the US weapons weren’t given to Ukraine. They were sold and those loans must be paid back. Britain and Russia didn’t pay back their WW2 lend-lease debts until 2006.

              The US is making a killing on this conflict. Ukrainians are also dying for their nation, but two things can be true at the same time. Anyone who isn’t a moron can see that.

      lol. nah, homey. it’s a 7 month old account from the reddit exodus. Ukraine discovered natural gas in Crimea in 2014, threatening to box out Russia from the EU energy market, which is why it’s an existential threat for Russia if Ukraine pivots west. Consequently, Russia invaded. Here is a Wikipedia article that discusses the Shell-backed exploration of the gas field off the coast of Crimea.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skifska_gas_field

      Who the fuck said anything about supporting Russia? Genocidal regimes focused on the extraction of fossile fuels are fucked-- whether you’re talking Saudi Arabia, The US, or Russia. For the love of god, please educate yourself about the hypocrisy of US foreign policy. I’m really sorry that you can’t see beyond the binary worldview you’ve hinted to here.

      If I was a pro-Russia bot, why would I post this on an article, I posted, mocking Iranian hackers?

      Do you not realize that Iran is selling drones to Russia to bomb Ukraine?

      Do you not realize that Iran only has said drone technology because they captured a US drone flying over Pakistan and reverse engineered it? Seems like if the ill-informed war of terror never happened, Iran wouldn’t have drones and Russia wouldnt be using them in Ukraine to murder civilians. The world is way more complicated than the black and white worldview you’ve alluded to.

      Fuck Putin, fuck the us department of defense and fuck the police (just for good measure). Is that clear enough for you?

      Lol. you should check out that keyboard again. It’s a Qwerty AND Cyrillic keyboard which clearly shows the the Cyrillic letter ж uses the same key as the ;/: button on qwerty.

      In before this person uses the fact that I know how to type a Unicode character as “proof” of my bot-ness.

      I think you’ll find my post history about Linux, volunteering with refugees, and pictures of museums to be consistent with my anti-war stance and offer a hint as to why I know a bunch of historical facts.

          you mean the photo you shared? I’m confused. There are Qwerty letters on the left side of each key cap and Cyrillic on the right, or were you under the impression that Cyrillic uses both alphabets?

            You first said they didn’t have a colon.

            Also even if that was true you acted like they can’t get a standard qwerty keyboard.

            But sure, call someone a moron instead of owning your mistake.
