Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.

The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.

Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.

Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.

Because there’s no reason for it to happen anytime soon.

This has nothing to do with power, it is about putting money where your mouth is, which shouldn’t be a problem if you are confident in what you’re saying. I would pay up if I lost the bet, are you saying you wouldn’t pay up if you lost a bet?

There's plenty of reasons it would happen soon. I listed them above.

I'm not giving you, or anyone else, information linking to my person, so no I wouldn't pay. I wouldn't make a bet.

Your reasons are just your opinion. One can look at most countries and come up with opinions why there might possibly eventually maybe be a regime change sometime in the undefined future.

Russia has finished retaking Kursk today, they are not in a bad situation.

In case you are not aware, there are ways to bet without the need to exchange any information linking to each other.
