    The fact that anyone has the gall to get shirty with Ukraine for taking down some oil refineries in Russia after Russia has:

    • completely reneged on all meaningful provisions of the Budapest Memorandum
    • tried to puppet Ukraine through influence operations one way or another, basically since the fall of the Soviet Union
    • annexed Crimea 10 years ago
    • invaded Ukraine in a shockingly brutal fashion
    • repeatedly and systematically struck entirely civilian targets (residences, hospitals, tons of stuff with zero military utility)
    • we can go on - there’s a big list

    Is really impressive.
