I agree with you there.The main point in this is that Ukranian strikes have already diminshed Russian refined petroleum production for their domestic and foreign markets. Due to sanctions Russia is already relying on largely uninsured "shadow fleet " to ship their petroleum products at a highly discounted price. Refining capacity is the bottle neck for petroleum production world wide including the US. Reducing Russia's ability to produce refined products and their petroleum revenue plummets due to the "spark spread" . Support Ukraine's ability to strike strategic targets in Russia as long as Russia continues to strike civilian targets in Ukraine!
I'd be in favor of feeding Ukraine long-range missiles (to the point that is does not jeopardize American security). I believe the US has the ability to pick up Russia's oil slack, so destroying Russia's oil exports is a win-win for us.
