  1. This means that only 38 percent of Americans are sensible individuals.

  2. Everyone is going to go back to Russia and get oil under the table, otherwise there is going to be a lot of unemployed government officials around the world.
    Just open a Gazprom account, deposit euros which is the converted into roubles to pay for the gas or oil,
    Russia's currency has gone up higher than before the war.!!!!
    Soon Russia is taking only payment in roubles for all its commodities making them one of the strongest currencies.
    Way to go with the useless sanctions that only destroying the people and not the government its ment to 🤦🏿‍♂️🤯

  3. Huh?🤔 we wouldn't be in this mess if 2 certain pipe lines didn't get shutdown and 🤔 don't we only get about 3 percent of oil from Russia that was in the data so its not Russia oh ok its still the morons fault

  4. World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us

    We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.

    This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.

    The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.

    It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.

    The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.

    Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.

    The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.

    Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.

    In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.

  5. OPEN the XL pipelines Joe!

  6. Smart move it replaces the Russian oil that we stopped importing great move

  7. It's literally a drop in the bucket compared to U.S. consumption. Nothing more than a PR stunt. We need an Operation Warp Speed for oil extraction. Biden should call Trump and ask him how to do it.

  8. people will actually believe this BS information

  9. This is dangerous and reckless, and leave us with nothing when things are far worse next year.

  10. He is solving a temporary solution but not weighing the long term effects

    Those reserves are there in the case of war

    He is removing a leg from the infrastructure of the USA

  11. They should just stop the gas tax for awhile. But they wouldn't do that.

  12. Europe is buying 180BCM (according to Hungary"s finance minister) gas every year from Russia via pipeline..America is sending next year 15BCM to Europe ..if America explore and develop more gas fild and work very hard with billion of investment still 15BCM gas only..Good luck to Europe for remaining Gas ? I don't know Where they can get All other gas? And it is more costly to stick in 🚢 tank and transport from America or Qatar or Australia. Europe will lose compatative Advantage in long run because of costly energy.😇..in all in all Russia and OPEC will make more money any How?😇 in reality country still need energy to develop heavy industry such like : steel. Cement. Glass. Uria..bricks. lot of other metals and so on.. 😇 this is realty😇 Biden need to be in aged care, he is suffering from alzimer or dementia. 😇

  13. Credit goes to Egoistic bullies NATO n America.. .
    Throwin ukrain into a war .. who buys and still buying more oil from Russia…..it's Europe….they bought more oil after sanctions… that's the hyppocracy…..

  14. Depleting the strategic reserve is going to put our defensive vehicles dead in their tracks when Putin puts the war into high gear. Going green plays right into the enemies hand.

  15. From $0.60 a gallon to $4.50 a gallon, US people will deposit $550 billions additional to fuel companies in next 6 months!!

    Just freaking follow the money. There is no war between Russia and previous USSR country (a.k.a Ukraine). I repeat just follow the freaking money

  16. buy electric car

  17. Putin today: Wow wow West, happy April Fuel guys 😉

  18. So, I wonder how fast inflation and oil prises will rise when he has to replace the oil reserves he depletes?

  19. That Biden supporter will enjoy riding his bike in the rain and freezing cold snow.

  20. Biden's brilliance shines again. Hands out cups of water to put out a huge fire. Political Stunts 101.

  21. Doctor Evil. One million barrels.

  22. The Steele dossier is fake, Hunter’s laptop is real, Biden is the Big Guy and Trump won.

  23. Why wasn’t something done before now?????

  24. These are all would be blame on Biden's administration. He is held liable of all these things happening now. Biden is lack of experience when it comes to foreign policy and diplomacy.
