To be fair, ... and lord knows I despise Biden ... but the gasoline thing is not totally his fault. Biden's fixation on Global Warming is not helping, and creating an additional uncertainty for future oil production. However, the Pandemic knocked the bottom out of the demand for oil in 2020 and the Oil Co. took a soaking. The wishy washy, and fraudulent CDC is more to blame that Biden himself, as the oil companies received no sure signals to gin the process back up. Then, just like that, ...no mask, pandemic over, we are opening up, and demand has outstripped supply. That in turn pushed the price of a barrel of oil up to almost record levels, and increases the cost to the gas manufacturing plants. To add to that, the Oil Execs see this as an opportunity to maximize profits to replace the losses from 2020, so they are sitting on it for a while. Such is the nature of the beast. What is for certain is that Biden hasn't banned fracking, and the Keystone wouldn't even be finished by now, so it wouldn't have helped any either. He is still a pile of excrement, and his vision for the energy future is all wrong, and isn't helping things much, but the current situation is really not totally under his control.
I agree it’s not totally his fault but as with the Afghanistan pullout he’s screwed up where he could. Prices are going up no matter what individual countries do. The uncertainties created by was and interrupted supplies will raise them. However he could have done much better.
Yes, it's ALL Biden's fault. This Ukraine situation they are suddenly blaming ALL of the rising costs on is a red herring for the media to cover Biden's ass some more. Biden is beyond weak he is totally feckless and unbelievably stupid or he is trying to drive the US into the ground and make us a third world country. You know, continue the Obama agenda. Putin invaded Ukraine because he thought could get away with it. Why did he think he could get away with it? I don't know, deemphasis on Military, Afghan disaster (incompetence), Biden greenlighting Russian Pipeline at the same time killing US oil (making the US weaker and dependent on oil producers that want to kill Americans, Crime getting out of control in the US, The US southern border being overrun by over half a million criminals a month (in defiance of a court order). Biden is grateful for this war, it is allowing him to shift blame and get everyone's attention away from just how bad he is. Heard anything about the southern border, higher crime, spying on US private citizens, of election impropriety lately. Nope. Remember, that horse "de-wormer" (Ivermection) they wanted to ban in favor of Remdisiver ($0.03/per dose vs $445/dose). It suddenly appears that with Ivermectin, you have a 70% better chance of living than if you took the Faucci cocktail.
As poor a president as Biden is and he is bad, this shows Trump was and could be worse....much worse. https://www.thebulwark.com/thank-god-trump-isnt-president-right-now-russia-putin-ukraine/
I need to make the same offer to you I made to Rex…. trump hasn’t been president for quite a while… the whataboutism is a bit much…. from the article: “ And yet, I thank God every day that Biden is president. The Russian offensive against Ukraine is the first crisis of his presidency (other than COVID, which was ongoing when he assumed office) and in this emergency he has redeemed the hopes of those who voted for competence. The administration’s warnings to Moscow were unambiguous without being hysterical. Our revelations of intelligence unmasking Russian disinformation and false flag narratives were on the nose. Biden’s coordination with European allies was neither bullying nor “leading from behind,” but a skillful presentation of unity (special kudos to Secretary of State Antony Blinken). Biden’s muscular reaffirmation of the U.S. commitment to NATO was crucial not just for Europe but for the world. China is taking notes on how the globe is responding to Putin and perhaps thinking twice about trying to conquer Taiwan.” it’s hard for me to believe you believe that…
It is 100% his fault. He stopped the USA from being self sufficient and made us rely on dirty imports.
umm… https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-...-with-biden-during-ukraine-crisis-11646779430 Saudi, Emirati Leaders Decline Calls With Biden During Ukraine Crisis Persian Gulf monarchies have signaled they won’t help ease surging oil prices unless Washington supports them in Yemen, Elsewhere By Dion Nissenbaum , Stephen Kalin and David S. Cloud Updated March 8, 2022 7:48 pm ET The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices, said Middle East and U.S. officials. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticism of American policy in the Gulf.
I'm surprised you can read that article with a straight face! The real question is, would have Putin invaded Ukraine with Trump or Biden. The history testifies to the fact that Putin did not under Trump, and did under Biden. So this guy crowing about how great Biden is in this conflict is nothing more than partisan propaganda. He probably still thinks Trump was a Russian Stooge.
