Certainly sounds like he said it to me. Unbelievable hypocrisy from a country which has effectively abandoned an ally for which it signed a security agreement to defend.
you mean the other post was russian propaganda?
im shocked! shocked, i tell you.
Biden; stop hitting refinery’s! It’s going to cause gas prices to go up and it’s going to make me look bad before the election : The fkn real reason! . Also the same reason for turning against Israel.. public opinion on the expense of innocent peoples lives .. you think they care about Ukraine when more Americans are dying from fentanyl then Ukrainians fighting for their country. It’s about profit and politics and it’s sickening to me . Hit the fkn refinery’s take them all out . I’ll pay a little extra at the pump for the time being until the United States pumps more oil to knock Russia out the market but they won’t do that. We’re alresdy drilling more oil and we need to drill even more so to knock Russias economy .. if we do that then we can focus on China and their plans . China is using Russia as a proxy against the United States and Iran .. Russia has never been weaker and never more defeated . Finish them! Ukriane gas the ability let them take out the refinery’s that will end the war and Russia won’t be able to maintain the war machine nor will they be able to militarily support or defend China in the next war nor Iran or North Korea . Not sure which conflict is going to kick off next it’s looking like either China will direct North Korea or Iran to entice the United States in a conflict we can not ignore then they go for Taiwan .. and while China is going for Taiwan and the unites states is defending Japan and south Korea Russia is planning on pushing Kyiv one last time with the remainder of his forces and the ones that have been training for 2 years since the spetzna got taken out during the invasion . If we stop them now it deters china’s plan and thwarts the next war .. but for some reason we’re keeping it a stalemate .. because of elections coming up? Because we want to keep Russia militarily weak for the next conflict . Or war mongers are getting rich for it continuing . Either way it’s got to stop now! Ukraine is sovereign and will always be sovereign and it shall not end until all of Ukraine is free including crimea. Give them the long range capabilities. Gd I’m pissed this morning! I’m pumped up! About to call everybody in congress and explain to them why Ukraine is so important. I’ll call everyday write letters raise my voice! I support Ukraine and will always
(sorry, his name is Lloyd Austin 🤷)
Then stop being giant pussies and provide support do they dont have to resort to hitting their refineries.
America is in no position to comment on strikes in russia, anyway. You chose to be spineless bystanders, now be quiet and deal with the consequences.
Politicians doing political shit. Lloyd Austin KNOWS that Ukraine is better served doing whatever they need to to do to survive. Cotton also knows the GOP has choked funding for Ukraine.
Lets put it into simple english: ‘It will raise oil prices. It’s better for Ukraine to bomb military bases then oil refineries.’
Nowhere does it say that “*STOP BOMBING OIL REFINERIES*”. You’re welcome to point that spot in the video where he said so.
What people are doing is making assumptions on ‘perhaps what was meant and in what way’ and using those assumptions to make further guesses. Then add little editorialization to make the title seem more snappy to get those sweet, sweet clicks and presto, nice edgy article claiming something that is not true.
Biden needs to find some creative ways to get Ukraine more aid *immediately* then, otherwise they have to go after these soft targets that hurt Russia. Doesn’t matter how, discount all they need and sell them for 100 dollars a piece if need be, just get it done. Otherwise the US is held hostage once again by a bunch of authoritarians sitting on crude oil deposits.
It’s simply ridiculous to demand Ukraine plays by a rulebook Russia tore up years ago, all the while failing to keep the promises made in terms of supplies. The pressure should be applied to Russia, not to Ukraine.
I don’t hold this too much against Biden, I hope he wins. I understand why they are discouraging this and how it puts their election campaign at risk, in a year so critical to the democratic world. It’s so depressing to see how easily some Republicans have been bought by Russia.
Then support Russia.
At least pick a side you f undecisive betas.
Disgraceful behaviour, I’m simply baffled and quite depressed just wtf.
Ukraine needs to send tens of thousands of these drones to bomb Russian infrastructure
Glad someone said it
AI is already capable of copying people’s faces and voices as well don’t forget china has chip in towards russia.
Austen: Ukrainians should die, so that prices don’t go up
Its semantics, basically. He is offering his “valid advice” on what Ukraine should and shouldn’t bomb. Thank you very much – we don’t need it. Ukraine is fighting to the death against a major foe hell-bent on destroying Ukraine, killing Ukrainians and driving the rest to become refugees all over the world. There is no “buts” or “ifs”. This administration is getting really annoying. “Lead, follow or get out of the way!” declining empire of coward old geezers. You know US reminds me of the Mighty Eagle from Angry Birds cartoon – an old bird clinging to the glory of the past with a big beer belly.
I fucking hate Cotton, but I am so much more disappointed in Austin.
Higher oil prices would mean higher oil revenues for Russia, obviously more money for Russia’s war in Ukraine. It’s probably gratifying to see some Russian oil refineries burn but the unintended consequence is that Ukraine would be helping fund Russia’s war against Ukraine.
It’s notable that Austin isn’t even telling Ukraine to stop attacks inside Russia (apparently as long as the Ukrainians are using their own weapons) but warns of the possible unintended consequences on current targets and then actually points out other possible targets they think could more directly affect the war.
Yes, higher oil prices from the refinery attacks will inconvenience Americans and the rest of the world and maybe hurt Biden’s campaign, which would benefit Trump, who wants to as long as he’s in power stop all aid to Ukraine BUT the other important part is that higher oil prices mean more oil revenues to fund Russia’s war.
Republicans in Congress have the vast majority of the blame for supporting Russia as they murder Ukrainians, but the administration hasn’t done a good job of either providing the support they are already legally allowed to use or building public political support necessary to support Ukraine.
Sometimes it seems the administration is playing prevent defense against the Republicans, and that is not going to end well for any of us.
I would say take out the oil refineries, but I worry about the pollution that would result from such damage. I would also such suggest taking out Putin.
The only news agency that reported he said Ukraine should stop bombing refineries was Bloomberg, who recently hired a Russian as CEO. All other articles online quote Bloomberg.

All the sudden republicans care about Ukraine?
