Oil, the US, Geopolitics

There are days when geopolitics intersects with our elections and somewhat lousy policy. Yes, bombing Russian oil infrastructure could be a problem. Yes, it could raise the fuel price for the average American consumer. Never mind that if we get into a major war, the cost of gas will be the last of our concerns.

Today, it was confirmed that we are losing sleep now that Ukraine is hitting refineries in the Russian Federation. So Yigal Levin shared this today, which connects so many aspects of geopolitics:

There cannot be any other new comments here, so I will simply duplicate my text written a couple of weeks ago. Now that this information is a fact, it has become as relevant as possible:

I have already said that Russia, in the event of a difficult situation, will run to the United States to ask for help, plus, I will once again redirect you to this revelation of Kissinger. I have already cited it as an example many times, but it is as relevant as possible, there is also a case with global oil supplies.

We’ve already been through this. It was not for nothing that Moshe Dayan in those days came up with the maxim:

“Our American friends offer us money, weapons and advice. We take money and weapons, we refuse advice.”
