His reaction reveals something Moscow does not want to admit: Ukraine’s refinery campaign is no longer symbolic. It is reaching deep into Russia’s energy system.

1. I'm old, so I have pretty clear memories of the oil shocks here in the 70s

when OPEC for,med and tripled the price of oil overnight (and it was whispered Russia was behind it all). US producers were only too happy to export huge quantities of domestic oil for those higher prices and "No Gas" spray painted onto pieces of plywood became fixtures at gas stations all over the country. I can remember long lines and frayed tempers, even at the Robber Baron station at the foot of Beacon Hill in Boston.

As bad as things were then, I never saw the degree of histrionics from divas or men starting fistfights. I don't know what the fragile Russian psyche is going to do to cope when food is in much shorter supply after New Year's and there's still no gasoline for their oligarchmobiles. Shouting matches were about it around here.

The Russian regime seems so obsessed by war that the fuel shortage seems to have caught them completel flat footed, unable to prioritize the distribution of the remaining stocks of fuel to make sure people can eat over the winter while strategically retreating from overextended supply routes at the front. They might just reap the whirlwind by next spring, as continued outrage over inconvenience is sharpened by hunger.
