You clearly don’t understand the “science.” If oil is produced in Venezuela or Russia it does not contribute to CO2 emissions or global warming. It’s only oil produced in the US that does that. The people running Biteme’s energy policies are geniuses doncha know.

 

You've hit the nail on the head.  The string-pullers behind the Biden administration are not at all averse to higher prices at the gas pump.  Quite the contrary, they think that's a good thing, as it just gives an economic push (well, fake economics anyway) to their Green New Deal agenda. 

Buying foreign oil, rather than pumping our own is a triple win from their perspective.  First, they get a temporary, and partial solution that they hope will avoid 70's style shortages, which would be bad short-term politics for them.  Second, they avoid giving an economic lift to their domestic ideological enemies (including both the good working-class jobs and corporate stability) that domestic production creates.  And finally, they further weaken the US economy by sending more money to foreign producers.  They actually aren't stupid, they're evil, and they've decided that everyone who opposes them is their domestic enemy.

Yes, good analysis, I think.

I am certainly willing to believe Bidung’s team is more evil than stupid. Destruction is part of their plan. And if they succeed, America will become a banana republic.
