  1. Clearly, she has no idea what she is talking about. The initial invasion and attempt to take Kyiv were thwarted (at least in part) by Ukraine deliberately targeting fuel trucks. The Germans, Japanese, UK and USA all targeted fuel production. Germany specifically invaded Caucasus because of the importance of fuel. Japan expanded into the Pacific to acquire oil. USA and UK bombed Axis oil production. More recently USA bombed Seria to hinder their military. Destroying oil infrastructure diminishes Russia’s capabilities to prosecute and fun their aggression. As far as I’m concerned, US has no standing to give opinions if the US is not sending aid.

  2. There’s an old saying. “Alls fair in love and war.” Another is “The winner writes the history book”. She can F off.

  3. This guy is also an idiot. He correctly blames Biden from being slow to give the necessary weapons and the number of weapons necessary, but also is a Republican who isn’t sending **ANY** support to Ukraine. His points are directed to help Ukraine, they’re made to make Biden look bad.

  4. Military vehicles require fuel. Attacking gas supply is 100% a valid military target.

  5. Technically speaking, they are civilian targets. Easiesy way to explain it is they have a much more significant impact on day to day life of the civilian populace than the combat elements abroad.

    That said, I hope this is just some sort of double speak where the Administration is taking the politically correct stance publicly, but then privately providing Ukraine with intelligence on which targets to hit and how

  7. Democrats and Republicans are just pointing fingers at each other. The latter don’t vote for the aid package. The former/Biden and his team is sitting on 4billions and refusing to utilize them but pressing UA to not hit oil refineries. It’s a circus.

  8. Welcome to political bullshit of western democracy during war… iran threats cause more speculation on the market then any thing ukraine does to Russian oil. keep sending those drones..

  9. Refineries are definitely civilian infrastructure. I go there twice a week after the bakery and the hairdresser. Sometimes on my way to the gym too. I wouldn’t settle more than two minutes away from one, really….

    🤡🤡🤡

  10. how are refineries civilian targets when they are owned by putins oligarchs who fund the war.

  12. We won’t give you weapons to hit military targets, and even if we did give you weapons to hit military targets, you can’t hit certain military targets, and also anything inside the country invading you and even though your civilians and critical civilian infrastructure is being destroyed day in day out for the past two years you can’t hit their oil refineries that they use to fund their military that is killing you and taking your land because they are “civilian infrastructure”

    Keep hitting the oil refineries. I don’t care what these limp dick politicians are saying. Hit every last one, then hit them all for a second and third round so they take decades to rebuild.

  13. Looks like she knows she’s saying useless stuff but she’s been told to say it

    I have the same look in meetings when I’ve been asked to parade something out that makes me look regarded

  14. President Biden wants to be the president of low gas prices. The oil facilities should be attacked so the tanks and ships stop. So they can’t fund the war!

  15. He knows that refineries are not civilian targets, she knows it, we know it. What is the purpose of this shit show?

  16. “Is it raining? ”

    “Uhmm, there are clouds in the sky that are currently shedding water, yes…”

  18. Keep that in mind when next terrorist attack hits the U.S soil… This lady is out of her mind.

  20. What I would like to ask Wallander is if Russia has no gas, wouldn’t Russian military logistics completely and utterly fail? Without trains, cars, planes, boats, etc. they wouldn’t be able to supply themselves in any conflict. Therefore, IT IS A MILITARY TARGET.

  21. All these dipshits do is go back and forth. Round and round in circles without ever actually getting shit done because they are on two different teams.

  22. Frankly, call ’em whatever you want, Celeste. As long as you’re not doing anything to stop Russia from bombing the same targets inside Ukraine, it doesn’t matter.

  27. can you imagine this talk in WW2?

    Maam, you mean to tell me Britain cannot strike at oil refineries in Germany?

    Sir, these are civilian targets. We cannot condone such action.

  29. They can’t be classed as civilian if they are also supplying their military.

  30. So send them more weapons, if Russia is stopped from attacking them, Ukraine also doesnt have to strike back to cripple their logistics.

  31. FIGHT TO WIN, BOMB OIL REFINERIES. RUSSIA BOMBS POWER PLANTS.

  33. He is correct. I have been pissed since 2014 that America is letting ruZZia do this to Ukraine after we promised to protect Ukrainian sovereignty and borders including Crimea if they gave up their nukes. They did it. Now we trickle feed them for a bit and then abandon them?
    I wish someone better than Biden was president.
    Trump would be even worse for Ukraine.

  36. I can’t believe these people can sleep at night. They need to be absolutely fucking ashamed of themselves. Pure, concentrated evil.

  37. Fuck this bullshit. This is an existential war for democracy! Can they not see this?

  38. They don’t want Ukraine hitting Russian oil and gas interests because it can possibly raise the cost of oil. And right now, Biden can’t have oil going up any further months away from the election. So he’ll sacrifice Ukrainians for his election. He’s a massive POS.

  39. Of course a fucking woman would come up with this kind of bs

  40. This is nothing but political strategy. Ukrainian trashing of Russian oil may cause world oil prices to rise. Higher fuel prices in the US is not good for Biden. Politics before the people.

  41. It’s funny how they had no issues killing civilians in Afghanistan

  43. What a complete idiot this poor excuse for a woman is.
