Targeting Problems in Ukraine || Feb. 26, 2026
The U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to avoid striking specific Russian energy infrastructure. As you could imagine, this all has to do with American economic interests.
Chevron and ExxonMobil have a stake in major Kazakh oil projects, which flow through Russia to be exported. Ukrainian strikes on any related infrastructure risk harming those American energy companies’ bottom line, and that simply will not do (even though Trump stopped providing military aid to Ukraine over a year ago).

So now that the orange lying criminal clown president of the USA has chosen Putin to be his partner in the Ukraine war, it is not surprising that he says ajaj to Ukrainian attacks on oil systems in Russia.
Some thoughts. Hungary: Now leaning pro-Russia. Russians slaughtered their people in 1956. What Hungarian idiot forgets that? Answer: Orban. Slovakia: "Divide and conquer." The Slovaks have always abandoned their Czech neighbors at the most important turns of history and embraced the totalitarian force they deemed ascendent. FUCK 'em! Let 'em starve!
Love how we put our own economic interests well ahead of any moral or religious ideals we pretend to have. Should we put two American oil companies, who receive billions in subsides every year from the taxpayer, ahead of Ukrainian victory and an end to the war?
D E T R I T U S..........NO DETRIUS! C'mon Pete!
I don’t like any of those options for Ukraine. Trump will force starlink to cut off any support for Ukraine if Zelensky ok’s attacking Russian crude backed by American companies. And the idea of Northern Europe shutting down the shadow fleet fully would undoubtedly trigger kinetic action and possible declaration of war from Russia. So unless the Iranian tap is turned off and China says no - Russia has some slack in its lead still.
I hope this shapes the (no longer credible) "peace talks" being held by Trump's useless grifters. That aside, it's overdue for Hungary and Slovakia to either support Ukraine or lose access to their energy. They've had 4 years to make other plans and I hope they feel the wrath of their populations for their failure to do so. 🇺🇦
Give Trump a prize out of a Cracker Jack box and he'll get on board.
Zelensky should tell Trump to get off the fence if it wants to avoid having its interests attacked.
Great video. Very informative. Are you planning on going on the Scott Galloway podcast again?
For those who haven't read it, PZ talks about Kashagan for multiple pages. It's one of his favorite examples of a project that can only exist under globalization.
US: "Hey Ukraine! Stop targetting that!" Ukraine: "...what....can't.... you....said.....hear.... nything.....repeat... pleassssss...
So.... Ukarine has some cards after all...
I'd pay good money to see Trumps reaction if Zelensky said exactly that to him.
Oh god these drones agian🙄
And Trump the Traitor just continues along...
Peter, why not talk population demographics and the economics of Africa? Seeing how Africas population relative to the global count has been escalating at the fastest rate in the world since the 1950s…
As with many topics, Peter has covered extensively Africa time and time again; country by country, regional, continental. Search is your friend. In no particular order https://youtu.be/FMIfXS1yZc4 https://youtu.be/8v8AT1Q9-iI https://youtu.be/2sUc5exdVLk https://youtu.be/HOKvX0ezMTg https://youtu.be/vKL_TvieqBg https://youtu.be/HhnmQnhXCBY https://youtu.be/i5RDJBwIzqk https://youtu.be/ctbNdrSCWt4 https://youtu.be/cJPWJM5rWDw https://youtu.be/gBuH0tJzrLw https://youtu.be/a0KsAX3L1rk https://youtu.be/iBqInmMQwiw The videos above should get you started.
Lots of Lols, Great Zeihan ending, as usual.
Perhaps the US should help Ukraine and pressure Russia to end this illegal and unjust war.
that's insane. Russia can bomb Ukraine infrastructure with impunity and Ukraine, already handicapped, has to bomb with one arm tied behind their back!
Ukraine should publicly say they will not take any targets off the table. Saying this is off the table would give the Russian be ability to concentrate anti-air defenses as opposed to keeping them spread out.
Good cards for Zelensky to play when the time comes...
My thought too....
