Russia needs oil to be above $26/barrel to stay afloat. Anything over that is gravy for Putin to spend making trouble. Right now he’s like Al Capone with the keys to the treasury.
This is precisely the reason why the US should develop its energy resources and keep the price of oil low. This directly strikes at the terrorists and other tin pot dictators around the world in the pocketbook. Love might make the world go around, but money greases the axle.
