U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that recent Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian oil refineries could have a "knock-on effect" on the global energy market, Bloomberg reported on April 9.
Ukrainian forces have launched a series of drone strikes aimed at damaging Russia's oil industry. A total of 12 Russian oil refineries were reportedly successfully hit in multiple regions deep inside Russian territory as of March 17.

Austin is a threat to everything.
In the fwiw department in Florida, I’m paying $4.45 for premium. In 2020 I was paying $3.05.
Between Putin, Zelensky, Xi and Biden I’m surprised that WW3 hasn’t started.
Unfortunately, we get the leaders we deserve.

“Austin: Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil could threaten global energy market”
Uh, Mr Secretary, maybe the Russians ought to quit Ukraine, then. Problem solved.
You are absolutely right. Once we get past Election Fortnight, the Biden Junta will skedaddle out of Ukraine ASAP, whatever Ukes are left alive can go to hell.
“ Will he/she/it be wearing a skirt?”
The man has prostate cancer. Testosterone blockers are a common treatment.
I think he’s a poor Sec. of Defense, but I don’t wish cancer on anyone except a few.
Uh, Mr. Secretary, maybe the corrupt U.S. MIC ought to quit the unprovoked proxy war then. The entire problem solved.
He’s a joke of a Secretary of Defense. He’s complicit to the lies that have cost hundreds of thousands of Uke lives. He can burn in hell.
The dims had to break the law to get Austin in that position. He is another useful idiot. Like Biden and his whole cabinet.
Right, Putin begging for global production cuts in 2018 is much better than Putin invading Crimea in 2014 off 2013 oil spike and now invading Ukraine off Biden energy policy doubling prices in 2021.
The problem is that US output 1)did not increase nearly as much as usual off the doubling prices in 2021 2)Production and distribution are still being hindered by the administration despite setting national records.
Drill, drill, drill will result in higher US production at lower prices.
Maybe give Ukraine more money and ask them not to do that.
WHEN are the members of the Biden Admin going to realize that this is NOT a “GAME OF CAPTAIN MAY I?”???????
They whack the hornet’s nest & then ACT surprised when all Hell breaks loose.
Damn, that’s brazen! I know we pump millions and millions into Z’s and his Uke oligarch buddies’ offshore accounts but you’re not supposed to speak so boldly about it. But you are right, in the most corrupt country on earth, bribes talk and BS walks.
That’s the plan, right Lloyd?
I know.....
And a beautiful pipeline to carry it across that nation...
And a wall and deportation where we have tens of millions of extra gallons of gas due to thousands of less users....
It might change the climate....
If Chomo Joe announced free range on energy development the futures would go insane.
