    Goddamn, Biden’s worldview is so very obviously ossified.

    For the boomers (and older) in the back: this shit is a big part of why younger generations don’t want you in charge anymore.

    It’s Isreal being a dick again so I want to be critical but I get all fuzzy inside when they start talking about bombing oil infrastructure.

      I think the only positive that may come out of all this conflict is the decimation of oil and gas infrastructure in Russia and the Middle-East. It’s already forced Europe to transition away from natural gas faster.

      It’s not going to do anything for emissions in the short term, because oil vats going up in smoke isn’t exactly green, but with any luck countries will need to find alternatives before capacity can be built back.

      No. It’s not about that at all. It’s about destroying their energy supplies for vehicles, airplanes, etc. It’s a strategic attack to limit their resources and slow then down.

      Edit: Why is everyone downvoting me for stating a fact? I don’t get it?

      Ukraine has tried to do the same thing to Russia by trying to disable their refineries.

      You cut the fuel, the vehicles and planes can’t go anywhere. It’s a basic strategy.

      Unless you guys think I support these attacks? I don’t support ANY attack. All this insanity needs to stop right now.

    If it’s anything like ‘discussing’ the ceasefire, they’ll end up attacking Iran’s nuclear infrastructure instead.
