Those partners better request USSA and Israel reduce their strikes too then. Ukraine doesn't have to be a collateral because someone else started the crisis.

I bet you the partner is the US. Trump did this before.

Probably several countries. Many European countries are worried.

A country of hicks and clowns. At least that is how it looks

~54% of their populace can't read above a 6th grade level. It's not what it looks like, them being hicks & clowns is just the reality.

Why does trump do something and the world blames it on all Americans ?

Mallyix Mar 31, 2026 +11
because Americans voted him in twice.

I suppose a different tack might be for those Partner countries to ask Russia to stop invading Ukraine. That might help.

If they don't want Ukraine to bomb Russian Oil  then they should give Ukraine more weapons to defend themselves

You can't win a war in defense

Montaigne314 Mar 30, 2026 +38
Actually you can A war of attrition is in fact one way to defeat an opponent  And it seems to be how the US lost in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and soon to be Iran potentially.

olvol Mar 30, 2026 -24
In a war of attrition, you have to outnumber the enemy in troops, weapons, and finances... Not to mention that such a war could last for decades. Ukraine is still holding on... Will it be holding on in 5-10 years?

If this war continues for another 5 years, Russia will have the demographics of a retirement community.

And what about Ukraine's demographics?

UnluckySeries312 Mar 30, 2026 +10
Whilst this is true, you lose more attacking than you do defending.

anachronistic_circus Mar 30, 2026 -5
Absolutely  Now the Russians still rely on idiots who sign up for money  On the Ukrainian side it’s forced conscription, and even the new defense minister (accidentally) admitted that they have a problem with that, general morale, and at least 200k awol cases last year  Besides that, unless there is some sort of negotiation and settlement what do most reputable studies project about Ukrainian population over the next 10+ years?

>In a war of attrition, you have to outnumber the enemy in troops, weapons, and finances Not necessarily. Plenty of counter examples. Faith alone can enable a small, weaker, and poorly financed resistance to defeat a greater opponent. This has happened numerous times in human history. Strategy and leadership are also essential. But of course the factors you mention are huge boons to whoever has those advantages, they are not *determinant* alone to the outcome >Not to mention that such a war could last for decades. Ukraine is still holding on... Will it be holding on in 5-10 years? Can Putin?

rcanhestro Mar 30, 2026 +6
yes you can, many wars have been won just like that over the years. outlasting your opponent is usually a tactic.

truttatrotta Mar 30, 2026 +8
Ukraine should’ve been given what they needed to win before the asset got back in power. Everybody knew what he would do but Joe slow walked(as usual).

KriosXVII Mar 30, 2026 +16
I hope the answer is "No, I don't think I will". The solution to wars causing energy crisis is to focus on ending the wars and telling invaders to go home, not putting pressure on the victim to stop fighting back.

ajaxfetish Mar 30, 2026 +6
And the longer-term solution is to reduce fossil fuel dependence.

Mrhnhrm Apr 1, 2026 +1
Turns out that affordable fuel is so much more important than abstract concepts like lasting peace, respect between nations, and justice on international level. Who would have thought?!

What a f****** embarrassment the U.S. has become under Trump, they're going to have very few allies that'll trust them in the decades ahead and they'll become a lot weaker/poorer as countries pivot away from them and form new trade and defence partnerships

Sounds like time to step up strikes on Russian Oil Facilities.

sumregulaguy Mar 30, 2026 +10
Or what? Zero aid from US. €90bn loan blocked by Hungary with Slovakia as a backup when Orban loses. Patriot interceptor stock used up so Ukraine will probably get nothing for the next winter.

A_Dehydrated_Walrus Mar 30, 2026 +40
I'm fine with gas prices going up if it means the Russian war effort suffers and fewer Ukranians have to die.

Just today... > "Great progress has been made ​but, if for any reason a deal is ⁠not shortly reached, which it probably will be, ​and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately 'Open for ​Business,' we will conclude our lovely 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil ​Wells and Kharg Island," Trump wrote in a ​social media post. THIS is why crude oil prices have grown 77% over the last quarter. Ukraine isn't the problem here and someone obviously has russia's best interest in mind. Disgusting.

Simple, Russia removes itself from all of Ukraine and Ukraine will stop strangling Russia.

thats a real trump card right there

How can sanction oil affect energie crisis? Espacialy in europe…trump shunt the f..ck up , it was not your war remember?

LFP_Gaming_Official Mar 30, 2026 +3
if ukraine doesn't destroy russia's oil facilities, then russia can continue to generate war funds, so whoever of these 'partners' asked them to stop, is a complete nonce (it was probably the orange rapist). ukraine can prevent millions of dollars of russia's oil-revenue with a single drone/missile strike on an oil facility.

Puzzleheaded-Heat446 Mar 30, 2026 +2
Best time to increase the attacks since the seem to be very effective .... go get some more 😁👍

RedofPaw Mar 30, 2026 +2
Sure thing. Is that partner going to give anythign extra in return?

BlackNova169 Mar 31, 2026 +2
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

JuggernautBright1463 Mar 30, 2026 +2
Or what? They don't have the cards.  Zelensky is out there signing drone defense deals that could mitigate the damage Iran is causing after Trump foolishly attacked them. A global recession would actually be more hurtful to China who might finally start doimg something to stop the Russians and Iranians.

DragonfruitIsOP Mar 30, 2026 -5
So you guys are willingly pushing the world into global depression to COUNTER CHINA? Wow, millions have to starve to achieve western geopolitical goals. Amazing 👏

Affectionate_Oven_77 Mar 30, 2026 +4
Or… Russia could just stop invading other countries and this all ends.

DragonfruitIsOP Mar 31, 2026 -2
This still makes no sense lol. Why would torching the global economy help Ukraine? Russian economy is already sanction proof. If anything it will make the flow of aid to Ukraine stop.
-2
Affectionate_Oven_77 Mar 31, 2026 +2
Russia is invading Ukraine. Instead of asking Ukraine to limit their defense, you should be telling Russia to stop their invasion. If that doesn’t make sense to you I have nothing else to say.
2
DragonfruitIsOP Mar 31, 2026 -3
Hey russia, please stop invading Ukraine 🥺 I asked them bro. Let’s see how they respond. Until then, Ukraine should not target oil infrastructure
-3
Affectionate_Oven_77 Mar 31, 2026 +4
No, there is no “until then”. Russia is entirely to blame for all continued attacks. They can stop it any time they please.

It's a war and ok to shoot humans, but do not hit oil facilities. That's an addict logic.

Hit the energy plants instead then

isthereadrwho Mar 30, 2026 +1
By Partners I suspect you mean the US. Tell Trump the same thing he told the Gulf countries. 5 trillion and I'll stop. That'll take care of your funding issue for a while

Glass-Amount-9170 Mar 30, 2026 +1
So cut back on their arms and make them quit attacking. F*** Donald Trump!!!
