Cut toe nails make more sense than this administration.

I believe Putin has an economics degree.

. The oil cap is price fixing among purchasers not sellers.

And, why would you think that would work? Russia isn't going to sell its oil to countries at some fixed price below market value. And, there are plenty of buyers at market price or at a bulk price Russia agrees to.

It's another worthless idea from the Biden regime.

Putin is using gas as a weapon when it was the Biden regime that started the sanction war and boycott on Russian oil and gas.

Such is the logic of one with Russian Derangement Syndrome.

when it was the Biden regime that started the sanction war and boycott on Russian oil and gas.

Which as I posted above, was started by the Biden mis-Administration attempting to put a 'price cap' on Russian oil, and the EU went along.

I'll give it to you that you said it more clearly than I did. We're not disagreeing on this point.

I was simply making the point that Putin's citing Milton Friedman was disingenuous and frankly, dishonest. It suited his purposes and it was used out of context. Putin had every intention of weaponizing gas supplies to Europe before Biden stuck his incompetent, incontinent, incoherent, dementia addled foot in his mouth. The fact that Biden tried putting 'price caps' on someone else's natural resource was all the justification Putin needed to do what he did.

Period. Stolen elections have consequences and the world is living them right now.

Nope, he is spot on. Who is going to fix a tomato price in Milton’s example? Sellers?

What is the proof of ‘intention’? Are you s rapist for the fact of being equipped to do so?
