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.

Russia. The country that’s facing a very cold winter with its limited oil supplies?

Doesn’t it make sense? Am I wrong for pointing out that this is a very well known strategy?

But most of all, why the attitude???

Yeah, I’d like to get off the wild ride now, please… I ran out the last semblence of patriotism back when we kept sending weapons to Israel so they could genocide hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

And now we’re doing this shit before an election where a demented, old, evil man wants to turn all this shit up to eleven?

Great. Okay. Fuck this.

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.

I fucking hate Biden, man… I voted for him, and I would have done it again to keep the hate-filled dementia patient out of office… But fuck this guy, man.

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.

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
