Yes yes, a link, so fvck.
Just who the fvck do the Biden administration think they are? You want to avoid global oil price instability, help UKRAINE WIN THE WAR QUICKLY you fvcking arseholes.
The sheer nerve of telling the Ukrainians what to do to defend themselves when the West is allowing Russia still to profit massively from its energy exports AND is not supplying Ukraine with whatever it wants and needs to beat the Russians is infuriating. I'm absolutely fvcking seething here tbf.

They finally realised that there's no oil in Ukraine, so can go F themselves and cry in their pillows, or open ethnic restaurants in the US. Queue up behind the South Vietnamese, the Hmong, the Kurds, the Afghani translators and westernised elite, and the Hong Kong dissidents.

I can understand the argument that you shouldn't punish the poor average Russian somewhere near Ukraine for the actions of a lunatic that they didn't vote for despite the recent election results saying they did. Plenty of legit military targets that you can go for instead.

Do they really mean it, or are these noises similar to the repeated admonitions to "avoid civilian casualties" in Gaza?

It is optics. America does not want to be seen in a war with Russia or with Hamas.
Its an election year.

Good luck with that, Ukraine should burn the whole thing to the ground, it's like Russia isn't merrily committing genocide, blowing up dams and targetting civilian infrastructure while encouraging radical islamists to attack international shipping
If I was PM I'd have the navy doing stop and search on some flimsy grounds of everything coming out of the baltic

It's to keep oil prices and thus inflation down until after the US election.

The Ukrainians were stupid to believe that the US or western Europe would have their back for long.
There were many steps taken by Ukraine under Zelensky that were needlessly provocative and just horrible on their own terms, e.g. the January 2022 law requiring all print media to be published in Ukrainian. That law had a carve out for any official language of the EU, so it was okay to publish Maltese or Irish Gaelic newspapers in Ukraine but not Russian.

Stop apoligising for genocidal dictators Rob. You only have to look st what russia was doibg in ukraine pre 2014 to see subjigation and colonisation were always the plan. The need ukraine to be like belarus so russians don't realise how shit they have it
