#2 Gosh, if we were only self-reliant in energy. Too bad Biden made us dependent on foreign oil again.

Trump filled up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, didn't he? Did Rapist Biden sell it all off already? Obama did after Bush filled it up.

#3 They're not even smart enough to set up shell companies in Panama or Brazil to get it reclassified.

Some Cliff Clavin Facts ☺

A barrel of USSR oil now costs $105+/-.
US buys 500k barrels of oil a day from the USSR.

500k barrels of oil makes about 20 gallons of gas and 12 gallons of diesel fuel.

Using the US DOT/EPA averages
Gas vehicles get about 25+/- miles per gallon on average.
Commercial Diesel trucks average about 12+/- miles per gallon.
42 vehicle miles per barrel of oil.

42+/- driving miles now costing about 174.50% more than it did in Nov. 2020. Consumer goods now cost 174.5% more to deliver and purchase.

The estimated cost of the Ukrainian War to Russia is roughly $34 Billion per day.

The US consumers are paying $52.5 Million a day to fund the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Or about 15/100's of 1% per day.

A Russian T-14 Armata Tank costs $3.7M so at $52.5M. The US is funding 14 such Russian tanks per day, OR 2 Su-57 Russian fighter jets.
-----------------------

SOME HISTORY
Oil has gone from $38.25 during the last months of TRUMP's Admin to $105 under the Biden-DC Swamp Admin. Or a 174.50% increase in 1 year 1 month since Biden & his handlers took office.

We have now exceeded the Obama Admin for the cost of Oil. We can expect the national average price of fuels to be the same as Obama's shortly or more due to LSD funded inflation.

Summary:
☻ One must admit Biden learned a lot from Obama☻.

#6 ^ Remember when the Boosh cartel was going to war to put more oil money in their Texas cronies' pockets (according to MSM, anyway)?

Good times...

#7 Buying Hunter and Joe Biden paid off.

#8 There are no sanctions vs. Russian crude oil or natural gas for now, but traders and shippers are increasingly "self-sanctioning," seeking to avoid negative publicity. A substantial portion of Russian crude oil exports isn't being bought, even with huge price discounts.

Self-sanctioning also appears to be affecting Russian natural gas and other commodities, such as wheat.
