The same oil refineries which they have sanctions on so people won't buy from? Those ones?
- They still seems to think they will own those refineries as planned before, when the dust settles.
  
  Well let's face it .. if it wasn't for the sanctions, these companies would probably still be in business there because they have zero morals... So yeah once the dust settles they'll waste no time in trying to get back in there
Good. Fuck oil and all the scumbags that hawk it.
Slams! (take a drink)
- pokemon battle music starts
- For real. What does this even mean? How does this headline impact our lives in any way? How did they "slam" these strikes and what was the consequence of said "slam"? Was it really just that they had a journalist ask a diplomat of some kind about it and they just said something like "we do not condone strikes on oil refineries because of the rippling global economic impact"? And they didn't want to have their journalist come back without a story even though there's no story here?
Oil refineries are military targets.
Priorities. Kill tens of thousands of civilians in a few months = I sleep (until it threatens careers). Blow up oil = serious problem deserving immediate response.
Defending yourselves from an invader is inconvenient to our profits.
Well, if I was Ukraine, I would bomb the shit out of them now, unless maybe I get more military aid. They win either way.
Just another excuse to raise prices
Huh. Anyway.
US Grand Slam
Maybe if they had more options they could pick different ones.
