Also, the American officials trying to make Ukraine look bad by saying Russia's counterattacks to Ukraine's energy strikes have been worse so it's not worth it. Uhh...Russia has been trying to destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure since the war began, in the first year of the war it was the worst when Russia tried to plunge Ukraine into darkness and freeze them to death during the winter.

Gee, I wonder why Russia's counterattacks have been bad in recent months? Hmm....Counterattacks...Missiles...Air-Defence....It couldn't possibly be because Ukraine isn't receiving enough AD and one of Ukraine's main supporters haven't sent them proper aid in 6 months? Nah...That can't be it! It must be Ukraine's fault for striking Russia's energy infrastructure!

If the logic is that "Ukraine can't attack this because Russia will be become more aggressive" then basically Ukraine can't attack anything, are we forgetting the rapes? the executions? the ecocide? Trying to freeze Ukraine every winter? Russia never needed an excuse to be more aggressive, even if Ukraine wasn't attacking Russia's energy infrastructure, Russia would still be bombing Ukraine's as they've tried to do since the war began.

The reason Ukraine's energy infrastructure is being blown up is due to a lack of support and finally, if you want Ukraine to attack something different, then give them the goddamn means to attack something different, where is ATACMS? Nowhere. What about lifting that stupid rule that Ukraine can't attack Russia using western weapons? Not going to lift that? Then tell me what the fuck Ukraine is meant to do.

I swear America just wants Ukraine to charge headfirst into minefields and artillery and pray to God that it'll work, what is Ukraine doing with Storm Shadow? They use them on submarines, ships, military bases, etc. So Ukraine has already shown it will use capable weapons on different targets but America isn't giving them the means to hit these targets. You want Ukraine to hit valuable stuff? Give them ATACMS.

They tried drone striking an airfield recently, it failed but I wouldn't label it a total failure as it showed capability to reach it, they will likely try again in the future but they need better drones, faster drones, stealthier drones and they need to weaken Russia's AD. America is acting like all Ukraine is doing is striking oil refineries when they are in fact doing multiple attacks with different weapons.

While Kharkiv gets blasted by a constant barrage of artillery, missiles via planes and via land, America tells Ukraine it can't fire back using their weapons, maybe if the stupid rule was lifted, Ukraine could actually strike back at where these missiles, artillery and planes are coming from, then Kharkiv's energy infrastructure would be safer, but no.
