Do you agree with Biden that Americans will have to stomach high gas prices “as long as it takes” to beat back Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?

Hell to the NO！！！

Inflation (even for fuel) predates the Russia-Ukraine War. Even if it did, should we‽

U. S.-voters should be outraged to support the jurisdiction that interfered in U. S. elections.
https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-court-ruling-election-interference/29652728.html (Washington state-media, RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/world/europe/ukraine-paul-manafort.html
http://oask.gov.ua/node/3628 (Kiev Administrative District Court; in Ukrainian, but Google Translate & its competitors exist!)

And the use of CHILD-soldiers by Kiev-funded "Far Right"-militias!
https://www.rferl.org/a/far-right-ukrainian-military-unit-teaches-children-and-pensioners-to-defend-their-country/31703267.html (again Washington state-media)
Yes, it's not just Moscow's propaganda. Ukraine does suffer a Nazi-infestation!
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cohen-ukraine-commentary-idUSKBN1GV2TY
And it's gotten so bad, Washington's military-agency Combating Terrorism Center at West Point found links (recruitment & otherwise) between Ukraine's & U. S. Neo-Nazis!
https://ctc.usma.edu/the-nexus-between-far-right-extremists-in-the-united-states-and-ukraine/
And the sad thing is that the Nazis are Kiev's "greatest weapon" & "greatest threat" at the same time!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/10/azov-far-right-fighters-ukraine-neo-nazis

If anything, the Nazi threat in Ukraine could have been an opportunity for the 3 (Washington, Kiev, and Moscow) to work together to eliminate the treat. But given the geopolitics of Washington's Cold War-era desire to regime-change Moscow & Pres. Biden's covering-up on his son's Ukraine corruption, it's come to this.

I do not support it. I cannot support it. Hell, it doesn't have to be this way. I'm a dual-citizen Filipino-American, and Manila (which has chosen pragmatism & not Cold War geopolitical dogma) posted 11.8% G. D. P.-growth for 2021Q2…
https://www.rappler.com/business/gross-domestic-product-philippines-q2-2021/ (PH-based wildly anti-administration Washington-paid state-media Rappler)
& 8.3% for 2022Q1, as then-Pres. Duterte's last economic review.
https://www.rappler.com/business/gross-domestic-product-philippines-q1-2022/ (Washington state-media Rappler again, again admits the numbers, but ties to talk it down)
And while I shared as early as 2020 the U.N.'s warnings of worldwide famine due to the lockdowns (which is now undoubtedly here), while 90+ food-processing plants across the U. S. have burst into flames (or otherwise gone offline) for no known reasons and while the U. S. logistics & supply-chain systems are in chaos, the PH's new Pres. Marcos is tackling agriculture head-on making that industry the focus.

I'm not saying the PH is perfect (lol Far from it! 🤣 So much has yet to be done.), but the difference between management & mismanagement is real and can be noticed. The U. S. deserves better. F—-ing up, gas-lighting the citizenry that the inflation does not exist or is "transitory" (when even mere Bachelors in Economics like myself would know otherwise & so should their Masters & Ph. D.'s in government), forcing taxpayers to fund Neo-Nazis, prioritizing geopolitics over the well-being of the citizens, and declaring this is how it should be for all the foreseeable future… while other jurisdictions (not just the PH) do better by choosing pragmatism… is just deplorable.

Yes, I'm not in favor of feeding Russia money for oil at the moment, even though it would lower our gas prices.
It's important to note that the Russia situation isn't the only cause of high oil, but it is the main cause that Biden is related to. The other cause is that oil production, in the US and otherwise, slowed down due to less demand in 2020. As demand rose again, prices have risen as the supply struggles to catch up (this happened under both Trump and Biden, and was the fault of neither president). Getting the US oil production back up to pre-pandemic levels will be good for our prices, but until then, we'll be stuck with some expensive gas prices

Aerissa_Jade · Accepted Answer

No because the US has the ability to produce its own gas and oil and not need to import. The US could say that there can't be any exports of it, until domestic demand it met and there is a safe surplus, such as filling up the strategic reserve again.

Imports and exports are blocked all the time, for various reasons.

Then the federal government could go back to Trump era policies to increase energy production.

Right now the federal government is basically saying they aren't going to do anything to help and its not their fault, but it is. The Democrats actually like high gas prices.

StevieNix · Accepted Answer

Joey the clown campaigned on putting the oil and coal industries out of business. At least Joey is true to his word. I miss Trump's mean Tweets.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Where's the proof that gas prices are tied to the war in the Ukraine?

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

I did agree with you until I researched it for myself fact don't lie now I know better you seem like your upset cause I don't agree with you. You like Trump you don't care about the facts to the point your giving him credit for something he didn't even do. I don't care who president as long as they do what needs to be done to give us as Americans a better life. 8 years I've served and put my life on the line for this country that a lot more than most people do I don't just talk the talk I walk the walk

loveslongnails · Answer

First of all, don't be a dupe. The Russia situation isn't the only reason gas prices are high. As usual, the oil companies are gauging everyone during a crisis time, as they have Russia as the perfect foil. The lie is already being spread for them, so why not make money from it?

Second of all, compared to most of the rest of the world, gas prices are still lowest among industrialized nations, in the USA.

Do you agree with Biden that Americans will have to stomach high gas prices “as long as it takes” to beat back Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?

I just returned from Portugal where gas is about 9.60 a gallon because I rented a hybrid that only used 95 octane or above. But, I was getting 58 miles to the gallon combined driving, so that's just about the same as getting 28-29 miles to gallon combined here in the USA at the equivalent price. However, if you have a hybrid in the USA, you're doing much better than the rest of the world.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

Why do people believe that gas prices will come down after the war is over?

Biden is looking for excuses. On inflation, he screwed up. The issue is inflation was already rising before the war. He and the Fed need to fix that.

Gas prices is actually a separate issue. And that issue is oil companies are taking our asses for a ride.

Oigit · Answer

Just remember he blamed peoples high expectations and told us to stop complaining. He also is now saying that gas station owners need to lower their prices. So given his logic he would want gas station owners to lower their price of gas to the point where they are selling at a total loss or at a low enough price that it ends up costing them more money then they are bringing in. Then he would turn around and tell them to stop complaining about it.

Bratsondanielle · Answer

As long as Biden's handlers are running the country it's going to get expensive. Until we get the president back in 2024 it's going to be a heck of a ride

jshm2 · Answer

Americans have had it good for too long and need to pay back some of what they owe.

Russia is an OPEC member. The USA tried to bully it, and got smacked back. You can't ask fairer than that as if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. The US has already shown it's stupid enough to elect Trump.

The USA has shit oil, and the cost to refine it to make it usable isn't worth the cost. Hence why the USA relies so much on foreign oil.

globetrotter22 · Answer

Biden conveniently keeps blaming the “Putin price hike”. But gas prices and inflation were going up months before the war in the Ukraine.

No the Biden administration applied all sorts of ass backward regulations on domestic drilling and refineries. That is the core issue with skyrocketing gas prices.

Amy10223 · Answer

It’s not just America that’s fighting high gas prices, it’s the entire world. Biden is doing the best he can do. He’s not culpable of high prices or even inflation —- Putin is. So yes, I agree with Biden. Meantime, ride a bike, take a bus, train, or whatever to get around. Less traffic in my area because of this.

bademoxy · Answer

because the Ukraine invasion is a DISTRACTION orchestrated to benefit Globalists (WEF) and their anointed future world enforcers, the Chinese Communist Party.
They as Marxists seek destruction of national sovereignty, the nuclear family and Western institutions in order to depopulate humanity into a tiny fraction of the current population , with the survivors reduced to "the Borg" type transhumans, as 20th century history made it clear that socialist is deadly to normal mid class people

CasaNorba · Answer

no because the war with Russia and Ukraine has NOTHING to do with our gas price being so high. it has to do with him Biden his dumbass not funding the fuel industry

bolverk · Answer

They current 'High Price of Gas' in the US has nothing to do with the conflict in the Ukraine, but everything to do with the way the Biden Administration has handled the Post Covid economy,

normalice · Answer

Our predecessors did something similar during WWII. Only they rationed instead of raising the price. Seems dumb that the oily companies aren't expected to sacrafice a bit of their billions in profits, though, but they own the entire GOP and probably a third of democrats, so it's not like we can do anything about It..

Snsl153 · Answer

I don't care about whatever it is that Americans have to "stomach"; it's Australia I'm concerned about, because if you think that Biden is a terrible president, you should just look at the clown that we now have running the joint!

Jamesshinobi · Answer

I work in the Finance Department of an international oil and Gas company. Putin has absolutely NOTHING to do with the American gas problem. he is a complete idiot, what he did his first day screwed American gas prices for at least the next 2 or 3 years even if he reversed it all tomorrow. gas will go to 7 and 10 a gallon before your next President is installed.

Whatever2929292 · Answer

No it is a poor ass excuse and he is trying to punsih another country at the expense of the average Joe. Not dementia Joe he don't even know what is going on anymore

HighValue · Answer

The gas prices have nothing to do with Ukraine. Biden's executive order preventing drilling in the USA and in the Gulf of Mexico is what raised the fuel prices 10 months BEFORE the Ukraine war.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I agree that that’s exactly what the Biden administration expects, but that’s definitely not how it has to be.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Putin's got NOTHING to do with gas prices!! That's ALL on Joe's demented old head for shutting down the pipeline and reversing EVERYTHING Trump did for us!! What, is Putin really the president here?

NamerOfStars · Answer

He's just trying to gather support for even MORE American involvement. I question whether he'll be satisfied we're at war with Russia.

shortster · Answer

If you look at gas prices before the war they were already on an upward trajectory. They did spike during the invasion. However, as the price stabilized it returned to the same upward trajectory from before the war.

Anonymous · Answer

Not really. We drill, we improve the pipeline infrasturcture, we frack and oil prices will fall.

Oh, Biden and the Dems don't want to do any of that? Let's see what happens in November!

*gets popcorn*

slatyb · Answer

It’s possible. No one in the US controls oil prices. When the world price of oil increases, gasoline prices follow. No one will sell a $100 barrel of oil for $50.

Let’s be honest, if someone else was President, that someone would be facing high gas prices, job losses, immigration issues , inflation, possible recession, a pandemic…it could’ve been a Lalo, a John, but it’s Biden.

AimeeKyle · Answer

No. He is blaming Putin…. He has little to do with the gas prices. Do some research regarding Biden’s Executive Orders….. It’s all you need to know.

Twalli · Answer

We don't really have a choice. We didn't change who we purchased gas from after the invasion of Ukraine. So even if we hadn't imposed sanctions on them, our gas prices would still be higher because of the other countries that did.

DCooper · Answer

Replace the BS about Putin with "to get rid of the democrats", and sure.

Well it's going to be factor that's for sure. Doesn't mean it can't be better. But why would the Republicans ever work with Biden to help Americans when they can do nothing and blame him for it in 2024. And this is the world we live in. 🙄
