The war in Ukraine neither increased nor decreased supply or demand for oil. And after logistic disruptions in the first year of the war, oil prices have settled back as has the number of barrels produced.Biden is clearly at fault on the oil.They blame Biden for the price of oil Duh! How does he manage to control the oil output around the world? What an amazing man! Sadly, too many people believe this shit. The only time gas prices were low during Trump's time in office was during the height of the pandemic when most people were staying home. Do any of these people understand the basics of supply and demand? People in my area drive a lot of gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. Of course that drives up the price of gas.
The thing is, Russia is a big exporter of fossil fuel. The war is messing with that and oil is very sensitive to supply and demand.
Thus by helping Ukraine resist he actually is driving up the price of gas. Trump would like to offer up Ukraine as a present for Putin, that probably would bring gas down.
This does not mean that Biden's wrong, though. Higher gas is simply part of the cost of defending Ukraine.
Also, consider that with Ukraine striking Russian oil refineries, Russia is having to export more of their crude now that they might have refined for their own market.
