    Long live the rise in fertilizer prices. Well, at least people are intact, if they didn’t lie, of course.

        So yes, the incident, like a puzzle, fits perfectly into the fact that mattresses are currently consistently inflating energy, financial and food crises in the world.

          In the 90s, the United States solved its economic problems by piracy in the post-Soviet space. Now Russia has given them a turn from the gate. The American imperialists had to plunder Europe. And this applies to absolutely not only gas.

          Politico magazine in a fresh article describes a wide range of sabotagewhich Europe and not only Europe may face in the near future.
          Hybrid attacks may affect the Internet, energy supply systems, financial markets, agriculture. and grocery businesses and WATER PLANTS. Such attacks are in the gray area between war and peace, they dress in denials and strike at targets that cannot automatically provoke an armed response.
          At the same time, the American masters will smash the critical infrastructure of their European partners, not only in Europe, but also in different countries on other continents, which did not even notice how the United States turned from "allies" first into slaves, and then into prey. Ukraine also imagined itself as a partner.
          But when there is a crisis in the yard, any partner for the Anglo-Saxons quickly becomes "food".
          And Washington is striving to speed up this global PROXY crisis in its favor!

          According to the American plan, impoverished Europe must go berserk and descend in the manner of Ukraine. From the subconsciousness of the starving burghers, both NAZISM and SATANISM will climb - all in full growth. And then the American masters will throw European cannon fodder to the Eastern Front: "Farewell, Lily Marlene!"

          The same in Washington's plans applies to the countries of the post-Soviet space in the same Central Asia.
          One must be too naively complacent not to see this at the present time and not to suspect the imperialists of the USA and Great Britain in purposeful sabotage in this field! Trust but verify!

    Familiar company. Sorry it blew. It can happen in any company. But it is better to pay more attention to labor safety at a hazardous production facility.

    Malicious intent can be found in any current man-made accident or catastrophe. You can't see it, but it's there.

      And what exactly was the INTENT (the opposite of negligence) in the train accident near Ufa?

    And why are we forging nitrogen fertilizers from them, we can’t sell our own ..... or is this an echo of the post-socialist integration of the republics ....... I am not an expert in fertilizers, but import substitution in this industry should have been carried out first of all, because the productivity of agricultural products depends on it. Either the author twitched, or again opened the unflattering page of the state of our industry.

    The tactics of undermining nitrogen fertilizers were worked out by the Americans to the smallest detail back in Beirut. Now they can arrange an apocalypse for those who are objectionable, and let the rest look and be afraid! No aircraft carriers or nuclear weapons are needed, only the 5th column is needed, cheap and cheerful.
    On our gas pipelines, they also stuffed their hand. Who is next?

      Yes, often no 5th column is needed. Once, as a student, I worked part-time as a loader in one of the shops of the Bereznyakovo chemical plant. A nitration apparatus worked in a neighboring workshop. So the apparatchik with "big eyes" ran to us more than once from him and suggested that we temporarily escape somewhere, since he again accidentally overheated the reaction mass from a hangover (we must give him his due - he always returned to the apparatus to correct what what he did). A guy who had already graduated from our chemistry department and worked there as a master, said that in the winter one master sent women with crowbars to break up a frozen and caked heap of picric acid (aka “melenite”, aka “shimosa”) in order to remove it somewhere in front of commission on TB. The heap lay there for a long time and, apparently, picrates formed in one place (maybe some kind of piece of iron was lying there). So, one woman had a rather strong “pop” under the crowbar, so that the flying crowbar caused a severe injury. What if the whole pile detonated?
      And you say the 5th column .... No. It’s good that blacks don’t work there (I saw enough of them when I was in the USA on a business trip). lol
