‘Will Quit Attacking Russia If...': Ukrainian FM Openly 'Blackmails' West |
HESCO barriers. It’s been a minute since I walked among those things.
The US government asked the Ukraine to stop attacking Russia’s oil production infrastructure in a shocking case of hypocritical double standards. (It did this because it doesn’t want the international oil price and hence the gasoline/diesel prices in the US to rise in an election year.) The US also forbids Ukraine from attacking Russian military/dual-use targets in Russia (with Western provided weapons) at a time when Russia is destroying civilian targets and causing major loss-of-life all over Ukraine with impunity.
Fossil fuel production is a strategic military asset and it’s Russia’s largest and most profitable industry that brings in most of their foreign income, which ultimately pays for their war machine. Therefore, it is a legitimate target for Ukraine to hit. Expecting Ukraine to fight with one hand tied behind its back when you have neglected to resupply them with much needed ammunition for 7 months is ridiculous.
