Made me smile so it deserves a like.
In all honesty, the reason we haven't cut off Russian oil has nothing to do with the US, it's because it needs to be a unified decision and other countries will suffer more than the US.
Personally, I'm more bothered by the fact that Saudi and other middle east countries haven't offered to offset that. I get that they lost money when it was cheap, during the height of Covid, but they aren't stepping up to help now. Global economics are just that, global and connected.
I don't like the current price of gas, but it's not going to keep me from going where I want or affect what I have for dinner. I wonder how all those people driving electric cars are feeling about now?
