    Even if true (which I have long believed to be true) the Russian accomplice angle hasn’t been playing very well in the US among US voters

    Trump and his cronies have effectively astroturfed that subject across a large section of the population

    A more effective approach would be focused on the price of oil, force Trump’s hand to make a move that would crater oil prices

    That would hurt Russia even more than destroying refineries

      What on earth could Ukraine do that would crater oil prices though? Without a viable options, I think refineries going pop is the best option they have.
