how has Putin effected US petrol prices?

 

Frank. As all oil companies will sell their products to the highest bidder, no matter where, US oil/petrol prices follow the world market.

 

Even before his planned invasion of Ukraine, Putin started limiting the supply of oil and gas to Europe, and when it became a full scale invasion, oil prices, as we know, skyrocketed worldwide.

 

The West eventually managed to stabilise the market, very much due to the US ramping up oil production to record levels, and the Biden admin cleverly selling SPR-oil when prices were high, and then repurchasing when prices were low.

 

Prices, though stabilised, have yet to come down to pre-war levels, because of the still ongoing Ukraine war and sanctions against russia, as well as the current renewed violence in the middle east..

so if there is a war somewhere and Biden is President it's on him (no American troops involved) but if there was a war when the orange one was president with American troops involved doesn't count          

 

yes Covid   great leaders handle crises     poor leaders whine and lie     pathetic yet consistent

Trump did take steps to end the Afghan fiasco, while Biden could have stopped israel right at the start. Israel is only able to bomb the <deleted> out of Gaza with American help ie Biden. Ukraine war started on Biden's watch and only carried on because Biden sends them ammunition. Trump has said that ends when he is elected.

So yes, Biden is the warmonger, even if without sending American boys to die.

criticism is not a fact it is an opinion     the Capitol was invaded on 1/6/24      the president was right down the street what did he to to protect it -nothing      that's a fact

Huh? I said they are criticizing Biden for something factual . It's a fact that Biden has made a mess of the Southern border.

 

The Capitol was not "invaded" on 6/1/24. It was a riot that got out of hand over the 2020 election results fraud due to mail in ballots. Another nuanced topic that you probably do not understand

 

No need to conflate the border with random illegal aliens getting free passage and what happened January 6th.

You have some very strange ideas..

 

Every single president in the modern age, including Trump, has sold and sent weapons abroad, that were then used in wars and conflicts. Following your logic, Trump is thus a warmonger like every other president.

 

The US, and the entire western world, helping Ukraine fight and stop the genocidal russian invaders, who also happen to be America and NATOs no. 1 enemy, is not only a moral obligation (obviously lost on you), but also vital for the defense of NATOS borders. You are beyond naive if you think that simply handing Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter, like Trump wants to do, is magically gonna stop Russias aggression. Next step will be Moldova, where Putin already have placed soldiers, then perhaps the Baltics? Romania? Poland? And that's WW3..

Are SS COLAs not just inflation adjustments?

 

Why not throw in the weak baht and call it 50% even.

I find it strange that no anti-Gay posts are tolerated here, yet anti-Biden posts are welcome. Make up your mind what you stand for.

I don't think Biden is gay. A pedophile maybe, did they ever get that diary verified and published?

no, she get a pass just like she did over her emails and funding the Russian collusion hoax. Same as Biden over the documents he had and Hunters laptop. the Dems always do get a pass, Pelosi and her blatant insider trading. 

Frankie it wasn't a hoax  but your talking point are straight outta newsmax?  Breitbart?   

"G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russia

A nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry."      see they colluded with the Russians        traitors

Are you actually serious ?  The GOP led committee drank kool aide?    You refuse  to acknowledge the truth probably because you hate Democrats you trot out silly cliches instead of addressing the issue .Paul Manafort and the GRU thank you .Today's flavor is orange.

The North Stream pipeline says no to that statement. The opposite is true. Germany would have flourished if it had Germany First politicians and not some random school dropouts getting paid by various foreign 'NGOs'.

From October to December 2021, Gazprom sent 24 percent less gas to the EU than in the same period in 2020. The uncertainty ahead of winter caused never-before-seen price spikes on EU gas trading markets, going from less than €15 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in January to a year-end record of €180/MWh.

 

February 24 2022: Russia launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, exceeds $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014.

Here, that's missing from the 'story' you copy-pasted:

 

"According to the European Commission's official gas market reports, in 2021 Gazprom supplied 137 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas via pipeline to EU countries. That's 7 percent more than in 2020."

 

I wonder what the reason was..., I remember, wasn't there something? Oh, right.

 

"The fact Russia’s Gazprom has also failed to book additional gas transit capacity via Ukraine to European destinations for October has led some to accuse the Kremlin of manipulating a crisis."

 

Russia didn't want to continue paying the transit prices to the Ukraine and wanted to get the North Stream 2 actually going to deliver even more than ever before.

That the Keystone XL pipeline was cancelled, and the Nord Stream 2 project sanctioned by the US (both in 2021) did not help anything.
