[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Absolutely not.
I'll hate the voter and the Homunculus.
Without him the trash would still be hiding in the woodwork.

Why not both?

What kind of bitch move is this? Is this their reward for shitting on any efforts toward a ceasefire? That will teach them not to mess with the US!

I've read putin's tool has made a deal for oil and lithium deposits that ensure russia can continue to bomb for many, many more years.

That's why the US is getting involved in Iran so quick. It has nothing to do with Israel - it's about driving the price of oil to extreme heights.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks.

Other way around, they want to keep oil prices low.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Why?

Billionaires make more money when inflation is high, and everyday people spend more money when inflation is high.

High inflation shifts wealth upwards.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago

Why do you think the us wants oil prices to be high? High price causes inflation.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

High prices of oil help russia who sells oil to fund killing Ukrainians....this is the turnip saying "yes daddy" to putin

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

...confirmed what many analysts long suspected: the United States has asked Ukraine not to strike Russian oil and energy infrastructure.

The comments provide the clearest public evidence to date that Kyiv has been operating under external pressure to avoid actions that could destabilize global energy markets, even as its own grid, heating infrastructure, and fuel reserves face repeated attacks.

So when Ukraine bombs oil infrastructure, it's "risking WWIII, and the global economy," but when Israel does it, they're "exercising their right to defend themselves"

That’s how Foxscist News sees it, sure.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
