NYC billionaire issues dire warning: Things 'will get worse' :curse:
The high price of gas is artificially created by the Biden administration. It's completely unnecessary!

Sounds like gas prices are about to go through the roof. Biden has fucked up spectacularly! The Saudis are working with the Russians to reduce production and that's going to put a squeeze on supply. What the mainstream news media doesn't tell you is that 80% of the world supports Russia and recognizes that the USA and Russia are in a proxy war and that Ukraine is just the boxing ring being used. Most of the world is cheering for Russia. Trump would have never allowed the proxy war to develop. He would have refrained from poking the bear!

BoraxBill: The other thing the MSM doesn't tell us is that Russia is actually winning the war and not just by a little. Russia is suckering Ukraine into exchanging the lives of soldiers and expensive equipment for worthless land. And the funny thing is that after working so hard to get the land, Russia can just take it away like nothing! Ukraine is wasting the lives of soldiers and is running out of equipment while Russia is experiencing minimal losses. After Ukraine runs out of resources it'll be even easier for Russia to wipe them out. And that's why Biden is so foolish. He's allowing economies to be wrecked over a war which will end with Russia having it's way. If the negotiated settlement from April had been allowed (by NATO and the USA) to go through, Ukraine would have lost very little territory. If they negotiate now they'll only lose the four recently annexed areas plus Crimea. The problem for Ukraine is the longer this war goes on the more territory they're going to lose. The problem for us is the longer this war goes on the higher the price of gas will climb. Trump would have never allowed such a stupid game to be played!

OPEC+ cuts production, Biden White House screams Saudi Arabia - Russia collusion
This goes beyond the attention span and mental capacity of many people, but this is an excellent discussion of the politics underlying the current situation in regards to the price of gas and the subsequent inflation which will result. There's a particularly funny part of the discussion about Biden and the rest of the democrats, but you have to watch the video to get to that part.

desertrat: As I've learned more I become increasingly angry. This whole situation is completely unnecessary! If our leaders had minded their own business back in 2014 and not instigated the regime change operation in Ukraine which led to all this craziness, we would not be seeing any of this bullshit. I blame Obama and I blame Biden. Trump tried to mitigate the issues caused under Obama's watch and he at least delayed things, but Biden got things back on track. All that makes me even more suspicious about the legitimacy of the 2020 election. I'm convinced it was rigged because the Neocons wanted to get back to poking the bear. Trump was tough on Russia, but he didn't needlessly antagonize Russia. Obama, Biden, and the rest of Neocons underestimate Russia and overestimate the degree to which the rest of the world supports the USA.

Why US cannot produce more oil | Saudi OPEC hikes oil price for US buyers | Geopolitics
When it all comes down to it, Joe Biden is the problem. If Trump had been declared the winner of the last election none of this crap would be happening. Biden and the neocons/globalists have taken us down a dead end road!

Several sources say there will be a diesel shortage in upcoming weeks. I don't know how high the price will get, but the claim is that reserves are lower than they've been since the 1970s. Back then there were lines at gas stations and many gas stations ran out of fuel. It took monumental incompetence to get to this point and anyone who voted for Biden should be apologizing to the rest of us at this time!

Anytime you hear someone blaming this state of affairs on Russia, just keep in mind that it's the neocons who are really to blame. There are neocons from both the democrat and the republican party and they made a plan a few decades ago to reshape the world. Things are not going according to their plan and although it is Russia which is the main disruption messing up their plan, it is the plan which is the problem, not the Russians. In fact, we should thank the Russians for disrupting the plans of the neocons. Always keep in mind that the neocons are the real enemy. The infiltrated and hijacked our government and prevent the will of the people from being put into action. Instead our government and our military are used to push forward the neocon agenda and that agenda is not good for ordinary Americans. So, you can thank the neocons for rising gas prices and general inflation.

There's a good chance that gas could hit eight dollars per gallon sometime during 2024 unless the US does something to increase domestic production. With Saudi Arabia and Russia aligned with China, the US will have difficulty obtaining cheap oil from abroad. Biden has diminished our strategic reserves and so massive shortages are possible if those reserves aren't replenished. It could be like the late 1970s when Carter was in charge if things go just a little bit wrong. We're sitting on the edge of disaster!

War in Middle East equals increased prices at the pump.
As if inflation isn't bad enough already. I blame all this on Biden's failed presidency. No matter how much MSNBC and CNN try to cover up what's going on, we all know the truth!
