Three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonian airspace on Friday and stayed for 12 minutes. Estonia is a NATO country.
Putin wonât stop until heâs stopped.
Just lots of accidents. 
This feels like âMars Attacksâ except Putin doesnât bother apologizing for the errors.

Russian oil purchasing and the double game that germany plays:
Countries Buying Russian Oil
Despite sanctions and international pressure, several countries continue to import Russian oil. The following table outlines the key buyers and their respective import values.
Top Importers of Russian Oil
| Country | Total Value of Imports (USD) | Crude Oil Imports (USD) | Natural Gas Imports (USD) | Coal Imports (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | $66.6 billion | $54.9 billion | $6.1 billion | $5.7 billion |
| India | $38 billion | $30 billion | $5 billion | $3 billion |
| Turkey | $12 billion | $8 billion | $2 billion | $1 billion |
| Germany | $12 billion | $10 billion | $2 billion | $0.5 billion |
| Others | Various | Various | Various | Various |
Key Points
- China is the largest buyer, primarily importing crude oil.
- India follows closely, increasing its imports significantly since the invasion of Ukraine.
*** Turkey and Germany are also major importers, with Turkey benefiting from not being part of the EU sanctions.** - The EU has reduced its imports significantly due to sanctions, but some countries still engage in limited purchases.
These countries have maintained their imports despite international efforts to limit Russiaâs oil revenue, which is crucial for funding its military operations.
Moreover:
In 2025, **Germanyâs imports of crude oil from Russia are valued at approximately âŹ2.27 billion (around $2.5 billion ). This figure reflects the significant reduction in Russian oil imports due to sanctions and geopolitical tensions following the invasion of Ukraine.
Yes, there is more. Read between the lines:
In 2025, **Germanyâs imports of crude oil from Turkey are valued at approximately $1.5 billion . This figure reflects Germanyâs ongoing efforts to diversify its energy sources and reduce reliance on Russian oil.
Where does Turkey imports its crude oil from?
Until germany in particular and other E.U countries stops buying crude oil from Russia putin p.o.s. will be able to fund this war. germany might proclaim they have reduced their Russian crude oil dependencyâŠbut have they?
germany is buying Russian crude oil through countries that buy Russian crude oil and refine it like India and others.
Question:
Why is germany still buying crude oil from Russia? What âgameâ is germany playing?
You either support Ukraine or you are a putin p.o.s. ally.
I donât think Germany imports any crude oil from Russia anymore. Iâm pretty sure thatâs incorrect.
They do indirectly import Russian gas though which they say is because they are contractually obligated. Iâm not sure I buy that though.
Also, we still do some trade with Russia although not energy.
Germany imports no crude oil from Russia, having completely halted direct imports after the EU banned seaborne Russian crude oil in December 2022 and seaborne refined products in February 2023.
Thus, Germany is not playing at anything and helping Ukraine.
@92010Coogs it seems you want everyone else to do something first before demanding Putin stop.
Stop with the personal attack. Got it?
Now for facts:

Moreover, for the ones that know anything about crude oil here are a few facts.
germany is buying crude oil from turkey who gets it from Russia.
india is buying crude oil from Russia, refines it and resells it to âŠthe e.u.
The E.U. entire E.U. and our allies have to stop buying any energy products from Russia. By continuing to do so Russia will win the war.
How do those links prove your point about Germany? Or have the goalposts moved to EU?
Just read the weblinks. The point that the E.U. of all places still buys energy from Russia is inexcusable. germany especially and they have done it for years.
I did read through them.
You are moving the goalposts and its not a personal attack, just an observation from your repeated posts that germany and others should stop buying oil from Russia first, instead of really going after Putin.
We prove Germany is not buying oil and you move the goal posts.
Your links donât make your case either.
The countries listed as buyers of Russian oil are Hungry and Slovakia who are very pro-Putin.
Here is a question, see if you support this: The US has billions in seized assets from Russian billionaires.
Do you support selling those assets and giving the money to Ukraine?
Do you believe Zelensky is to blame for this war?
The EU isnât comparable to the US when discussing stuff like this. They are a group of sovereign countries with their own interests.
Here is the problem. You canât ask for one thing when you are funding the very thing you are against. germany, turkey and other E.U. nations have no excuses buying Russian energy. The nord stream pipeline exemplifies some countries E.U.'s hypocrisy. Why should we be surprised when germany has been a long term ally to Russia and the mullahs.
putin p.o.s. belongs in hell.
All Russian oligarchs belong in jail.
All Russian oligarchs assets need to be sold and the money should go to Ukraine.
I have written the same thing from day one. Some canât read or comprehend basic points.
A 100% Russian energy boycott from the West.
A 100% Indian energy boycott (they buy Russian energy and resell it to the E.U.)
A 100% Turkey energy boycott (they buy Russian energy and resell it to the E.U.)
We still trade with Russia too.
Everyone can read and comprehend. Please donât say stuff like that and then complain that others are attacking you.
Iâve been as or more consistent than anyone about Putin from the beginning. You donât need to lecture me.
We also buy products from countries that are still importing from Russia
Poland just dropped a nuclear-level verbal strike on Russia at the UN.
Foreign Minister Sikorski didnât hold back:
âWe know you donât give a damn about international law. You canât live in peace with anyone. Your sick nationalism is just a thirst for domination. But let this burn in your head, the era of empires is OVER. Yours isnât coming back.â
And then he blessed every Ukrainian drone strike.
âEvery drone that hits you, launched by the heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, may God bless them, brings that day closer.â
This was a warning shot, and Polandâs not bluffing.
Your new iPhone 17 might be made in India or China, both still in full trade with Russia.
