And all it took was a complete shut down of oil leaving the Gulf! What a foreign policy genius!

Back on the planet Earth, Trump rejected a new Iranian offer today, and no talks are scheduled.

Prices are going to keep rising while that Strait remains closed. National average gas price today is $4.23.

Just curious - were you complaining about gas process under the prior President?

If I remember correctly, it was the Putin price hike or something else stupid. National avg price was over $5 a gallon in June of 2022. Any complaints then?

Do you remember what was happening in 2022 that sent gas prices so high?

Let me help you: Russia invaded Ukraine. You might remember that. It was back under $4 by August.

National average for a gallon of gas was $2.83 on February 27.

I was just asking. I say we give Trump the same rope you gave Biden? If gas isn’t down in

a year, I’ll say it’s Trumps fault. Even though I was told time again that the President doesnt have control over gas prices.

Biden didn’t attack Ukraine. Or Iran.

In 2022 the entire world acted pretty fast to being the oil market back to normal operation. The US drew from its strategic reserve, much to the odd complaints of people on this board.

Iran is an unforced error on our part. 100% our fault.

See the difference?
