Russia is a petrostate the shaky economy of which is notoriously reliant on keeping oil and gas flowing. I have no idea why you're bringing the US into this - I certainly didn't.

US is number 1 oil producer and exporter?

You responded to a non sequitur with another non sequitur to which I added context.
