Indeed. Releasing oil from the reserve was an effective strategy to ameliorate the impact of your boy Putin's war in Ukraine on oil prices. Well played, Joe.

Another fallacy. The price of oil had more to do with spot pricing than the war in Ukraine. As a matter of fact price was rising before the war.

Au contraire, tovarich.

Oil prices were rising globally even prior to the full escalation of the war. However, when Russia attacked Ukraine, the price of crude oil in the global market skyrocketed from around $76 per barrel at the start of January 2022 to over $110 per barrel on 4 March 2022.

It must get tiresome defending everything comrade Putin does.

You mean excessive spot pricing and sanctions. The recent energy history of UK is instructive.

The huge winter storm brewing in Alaska and soon to hit the Midwest and South just before Christmas will be blamed on The Biden Curse.

Nope. From the same article immediately following your quote:

The price of crude oil was already inflated even before the war due to higher demand fueled by the recovery of global economies from the COVID-19 pandemic and low investment in the oil and gas industry.

I just bought a OnePlus 10 Pro 5G from Best Buy...from the same company that made OPPO DVD players once. I love it...my Iphone 8 was getting boring.
