Russia has started placing portable toilets alongside the miles-long fuel lines. Russian citizens are waiting days for five gallons of gasoline. Some are searching online for how to make gasoline at home.

This is what happens when a country builds its entire war economy on oil, and then loses control of its refineries.

I wrote about how Ukraine turned russia's greatest economic asset into its biggest liability – one refinery at a time, with drones that cost less than the toilets.
