Ukraine is on the expressway to total destruction with genocide. It looks to me that NATO is not much move than a paper tiger. The world watches and NATO plays phone tag.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.

the oil thing is profiteering and predictable
they will of course say its world oil prices dictating the rise like they always do but as usual the gas in the pump was processed before the war started.
one good side effect is it keeps unnecessary trips curbed.
Id hate to be a sorry commuter these days. I wonder how many are working from home still.
local govs all up the tax food chain will benefit from this and claim the budget surplus was a result of astute planning and elite good governance.1983 GS 550 LD

If memory serves me, Russia accounts for about 8% of the world oil supply.
Additionally,
This represents three percent of US crude oil imports and one percent of the total crude oil processed by US refineries. By contrast, the US imported 61 percent of its crude oil from Canada, 10 percent from Mexico, and six percent from Saudi Arabia in the same year.
Gas prices shouldn't double from $3 to $6 gal.Last edited by earlfor; 03-04-2022, 02:31 PM.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
