To be fair, oil prices are really pretty much flat, it is the falling dollar that is responsible for a lot of the increase. And you can blame the fall of the dollar on GOP and Rat administrations insane pursuit of so called “free trade”. So called “free trade” (we open our market, they keep thier market closed) has this nation sending a net trillion dollars a year over seas to our “trading partners”. Everyone knew the nation could not afford a trillion dollar a year trade deficit. But neither R's nor D's did anything about it, quite the opposite in fact. So now the dollar crashes, next the economy crashes and after that a nice global limited nuclear war. Thanks a lot globalists, for the "benefits" of so called "free trade".

Oil prices are up when priced in Euros, just not as much dollars.

Look at the last 5 years or so change in dollar value and change in oil price. Most of it is not from the dollar.

global limited nuclear war

Russian oil production is off some but whether it calls for global limited nuclear war is a question for those who might profit in some way from global limited nuclear war.
