That's why the US is getting involved in Iran so quick. It has nothing to do with Israel - it's about driving the price of oil to extreme heights.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks.
Why do you think the us wants oil prices to be high? High price causes inflation.
High prices of oil help russia who sells oil to fund killing Ukrainians....this is the turnip saying "yes daddy" to putin
Other way around, they want to keep oil prices low.
No. Oil has to be a certain price per barrel for extraction to be profitable. Currently the price is below that level for the US, which is primarily done by fracking.
Russia has to undercut already low prices in order to get China/India to accept the sanctioned oil. Any rise in price means they get to ask more while still being cheaper.Edit: I was wrong. Russia is allowed to export at a maximum price of $60/barrel. Price going up gives them no benefit.
I hate that orange-utan
Hold up, orangutans are chill as fuck, don't do them dirty like that.

Uh i like that!
So when Ukraine bombs oil infrastructure, it's "risking WWIII, and the global economy," but when Israel does it, they're "exercising their right to defend themselves"
That’s how Foxscist News sees it, sure.
...confirmed what many analysts long suspected: the United States has asked Ukraine not to strike Russian oil and energy infrastructure.
The comments provide the clearest public evidence to date that Kyiv has been operating under external pressure to avoid actions that could destabilize global energy markets, even as its own grid, heating infrastructure, and fuel reserves face repeated attacks.
What kind of bitch move is this? Is this their reward for shitting on any efforts toward a ceasefire? That will teach them not to mess with the US!
I've read putin's tool has made a deal for oil and lithium deposits that ensure russia can continue to bomb for many, many more years.
It's always about oil. Sigh.
Ukraine needs to to just stop dealing with the US
