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.
