As long as energy prices remain high, there will be no incentive for the Russians to withdraw from Ukraine. The documented losses in men and equipment are a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money they are now making from their energy, food, and fertilizer exports.

I had to edit out quite a bit of the article to make it fit within the maximum body of the thread requirements. For the more complete picture please follow the link.

The only way to end this human tragedy is for Biden to reverse his nonsensical war on domestic energy producers starting with finishing the XL Pipeline which will efficiently transport Canadian oil to refineries in Texas. And the essentially illegal moratorium on federal oil and gas leases needs to be lifted immediately. People are dying, inflation is soaring, our economy is being destroyed, and our enemies are prospering. The big guy and his buddies are profiting handsomely by wrecking the world's economy.

The XL pipeline was withdrawn by the other parties involved.

I remember when Brandon signed "the kill bill"...Trudeau said he wasn't happy about it...and then kissed Brandon's boots.

I and others have been trying to tell the Biden Republicans that sanctions against Russia would hurt the American middle class the hardest. They are also crushing Europe, but I don’t care what happens to them.

Russia seems to be doing quite nicely without having to trade with the West. Europe however is now economically screwed. I predicted this outcome right at the very beginning, it was easy to see, unfortunately our idiot neocons didn’t think this thing through before setting these things in motion. Let’s see how gung ho France and Germany are now in regards to pushing this war, they are setting themselves up for an economic depression.

The theory that NeoCons were Trotskyites seems even more possible now with their constant plans to destroy America.

Biden making his Russian oligarch friends rich while destroying America. Just how much money is being exchanged behind the scenes between all the globalists? They don’t care who wins or loses the war. They don’t care about the little people in their own countries or anyone in the world. All they care about is enriching themselves. I am willing to bet when all this crap is over in Ukraine, that a nice number of Ukrainian oligarchs walk away from the war richer than ever before while turning their backs on the Ukrainian people.

Russia production of oil has not decreased since they invaded the Ukraine. It is sold on the world market. The decrease in production is Saudi and the USA. We peaked in 2020 with about 13 million barrels a day. Today it is just a bit over 10 million barrels a day. Decreased USA oil production and decreased Saudi production is what is driving the price up.

The price of oil is also influenced by the futures market. This market foresees bad times for USA oil production due to the policies of the Biden administration thus driving up the current price. This is on Biden.

Biden has been facilitating Iran’s power and nuclear program for reasons I do not understand. This pissed of the Saudis and as a result they will not increase production. Biden has insulted and castigated the Saudi ruler every chance he gets. This pissed him off and again no increased oil production.

We have limited refinery capacity due to arduous regulations on it by the EPA. An oil company would be a fool to invest billions on new refineries to produce a product that Biden says he will eliminate.

The price of oil and gasoline is a function of our dysfunctional president JOE BIDEN.
