@ThomHartmann I think there are other things that trump has done that could be called treason, he should have been arrested in January 2021 for this failed putsch

but reality is if they did not allow oil to flow from Iran and Putin then the global energy crisis would be much much worse, and this is probably only a bandaide

do you understand that all of the Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure has been destroyed?

This wasn't about the global oil crisis. This was about the midterms.

The need for fossil fuel is down in many nations. And even the US has the option to ditch fossil fuel whereever possible right now.

What would be left is easily covered by US domestic oil. President Carter's politics and programs aimed for this soveireign independence. 50 Years wasted becaus of Ronny...
