You can absolutely blame Putin for an increase in gas prices. Oil surged immediately after the invasion. Yes, COVID had them below normal, but they exploded with the invasion. What happened in Feb was no crazy coincidence.mace1229 said:
You can’t blame Putin or Biden for all of it. They were below normal to start because of COVId. So neither one is responsible for tripling prices.mrussel1 said:
Okay if Putin didn't triple your gas prices, who did? Was it Biden? If you're arguing that people who trend GOP are stupid enough to think that some Biden policy tripled gas prices, I'll have to agree with that. But is that what you think?tempo_n_groove said:
My Point is GOP is not blaming Russia for gas prices, they blame Biden.mrussel1 said:
Of course they are aligning with Russia. But I dont' understand your point? You're saying the perfect platform for the GOP is to make the case that OPEC is aligned with Russia? Does that mean the US should align with Russia? Did I miss when gas prices became more important than fighting for freedom and self determination?tempo_n_groove said:
Biden actually said that if OPEC cuts the oil that they are aligning with Russia. So there is that. It's a perfect platform for the GOP to run with too though. Low hanging fruit.Merkin Baller said:
It’s *almost* as if OPEC & Putin & the GOP are in cahoots.
I am also pointing out the easy targets that Biden will get nailed for, his fault or not. It doesn't help when he claims gas prices are falling because of him either.

How dare Biden suggest he got more done in his first two years than any other president “in recent history”. Even in a vacuum, there’s nothing wrong with that quote.

Ok to try and flip this as the topic went a completely different direction then intended...
Who here has a link to a good, non-partisan, updated source for the accomplishments and struggles of the Biden Admin? I have searched a bit but I only find partisan sites for the most part.hippiemom = goodness0 -
100% I have been critical of oil companies and OPEC for months now about this. Just because Biden has it out for oil doesn't mean he caused it.mrussel1 said:

You never saw people attack the MAGAs?gimmesometruth27 said:
i think it is fair to say that the rage from the right is different than the rage from the left. the left wants to try to do things in the normal way, while the right just goes towards violence.tempo_n_groove said:I have been to a bunch of comedy shows and never saw anything like that. Since Trump it has become more of a normal.
You can't do shit like that...
Glad she pwned them by drinking that beer but that's not cool to throw a beer at a lady...

The oil thing is pretty interesting. It is obvious Putin caused a huge increase (due to fear of supply) with the war. It's true that the president doesn't have any direct control...but the president does have some diplomatic ability to effect this, within reason of course. I would say Biden's action with the reserves helped...I would also say that Biden visiting Saudi Arabia and then them voting to cut supply of oil was a diplomatic failure of the president to influence something that effect the price of oil. Some of it are direct levers, others are only influence (and some sort of trading of horses).mrussel1 said:

The dude's a creep and has had plenty of faux pas... This wasn't really one of them, at least not in the context of the interview. (do we get to factor in the context of the interview?)0 -
Complete faith in the guy who just said his son died in Iraq. I'm not saying Biden is as bad as Reagan was at the end, but let's face it, he is a placeholder and the team behind the scenes is running the show. Wouldn't be the first.0

Yes, the mission seems to have been somewhat of a failure. If you recall though, immediately after the visit, OPEC agreed to raise production by a few hundred thousand barrels a day over the course of three months. That stabilized the pricing. Now they are cutting the production. What changed? Well one could argue that it is a move to support Russia. And it might be. But I tend to think OPEC believes a recession is afoot in the next 6 months and they are cutting to keep prices stable. Helping Russia is just an ancillary benefit. I may be wrong, but I think their margins are more important than anything to them.cincybearcat said:

I mentioned my aversion to people talking like this in any situation (reference work). And then I said this:
”At least Biden isn't just a plain liar about things...but he is still a political spinner and Trump must have heightened my attention (and repulsion) to”
Admitting that the recent past has heightened my own sensitivity to it. I still think it’s not something that should be said and I dislike the people that do that sort of thing cause it’s all shut selling yourself. And I dislike that it is pretty normal in politics. I’m unclear as to where anyone gets that I was saying this was the worst thing ever…Biden said the worst thing ever..no one else does this??? Cause it just isn’t true.hippiemom = goodness0 -
In hindsight that mission was a failure. It seems like the US should have certainly gotten more out of having the president visit after the killing of the journalist.mrussel1 said:
