“Yes I did read your comment. You said: ‘Are you kidding me?...’”

No, my other comment. You know, that other one you replied to, #89. Here it is again:

Oil is a global commodity. It is roughly the same price everywhere. So even if you don't use a drop of Iranian oil, your gasoline use aggregates with all the other U.S. and European demand, which causes an increase in global oil prices, which enriches Iran when they sell their oil to China and India.

On the other hand, if the U.S. and Europe started driving most of their miles on electricity, it would cause oil prices to plummet and bankrupt Iran.

Make sense?

Granted, understanding this does require a low-level understanding of economics.

Again, no.
Russia will not be effected one bit.
Neither will Iran.
We get far more oil from Canada than from Russia.
Your statement and premise are false.

Why don’t you look up how much oil the US itself exports?

You might want to do that before continuing that claim.
