Trump induced Saudis to increase OPEC supply, thus lowering the world price of oil, hurting Russia as well as helping ease prices here at home.

It’s time you and your #NeverTrump war pigs stop cheering for Zelensky and war and get behind #47. War isn’t what he ran on and it isn’t what 80 million of us voted for.

Tell Putin to get with the program and accept President Trump 30 day ceasefire.

A lower oil price affects others besides Russia negatively but others aren’t trying to fight a Ukraine invasion war using largely oil sales revenue. At some point does Putin cry Uncle or does some oligarch there engineer his death? Is Putin immune to attempts on his life from within? Or is he still so loved there that no one is trying? I’ve wondered if some of the Russians falling tragically from high story windows were those suspected of plotting against Putin?

And that’s how to stop the Russkie-Ukraine war. Make it so Russia can’t afford to keep fighting. Don’t give crap to Ukraine either.

As I recall, Russia was almost broke when Trump was in last time due to lower than low oil prices. As Mark Levin once said, they are just a third world country propped up by oil.

When oil is cheap, they don’t have the money to start a war.

The Russian Federation could end up spending itself into bankruptcy in support of their war efforts, much as the former Soviet Union was bankrupted by trying to play catch-up with the US when Reagan declared the concept of “Star Wars” defense shield over the nation.

Not the worst outcome for the unpleasantness in Ukraine.

ANDDDD. . . with that mindless ejaculation, one of FR's premier spammers and its Zeeper Village Idiot begins another day of being glued to his piss-smelling, dog hair-covered Lay-Z-Boy, blurting out repetitive inanities in between farts!

Go Team Zeep™! Slobbo UrKrayknee!!

All we need now is for someone in Europe to be the first to step up to the plate and purchase American oil. On the day that happens, the war with Ukraine ends.
