Love it

I'm sure the US congress people are deeply invested in oil and gas too, they would have been hoping sanctions would do the trick to lift prices but they need Ukraine to actually destroy some capacity.

Ukraine will keep inflation due to energy prices on the boil if they are successful. Wont make any difference to the battlefield unless its in a forward area but if Ukraine could take out say 25% of russian oil infrastructure then sure but a storage tank here and there just pushes up prices due mainly to supply fear than supply shortage.
