Stupid, stupid, stupid allies bombing oil refineries during World War II to strip the Axis of fuel and lubricants and degrade its war machine; they had no idea that's not really a way to win wars.

So now the Biden administration’s stance on the Russian oil refineries that produce the diesel and gasoline that power Russia’s war machine is that these are “civilian” targets and shouldn’t be attacked by Ukraine.

Interesting logic. https://t.co/iF8fCgEk1X
America needs to stop talking, seriously, the Republicans are doing enough damage as it is, why are the Democrats insistent on adding fuel to the fire. Just shut the hell up about Russia/Ukraine until you actually start sending aid again. If it's about concerns over the oil prices then whatever, say it once and then shut up, why do they keep talking about it and making it even worse? Now they're basically accusing Ukraine of hitting civilian targets because people don't like their oil excuse. It was so easy to say something like "We have concerns about the oil market but..." then copy the statement which Finland gave that Ukraine is within its right to hit targets inside of Russia by the U.N. Charter.
