Did someone mention oil?
Whenever oil comes into play, we see the oil prices leap out of control and that simply is of greed. Any excuse, any excuse at all to raise the cost of a barrel of oil.
Biden threatens Putin, so Putin retaliates by instigating price increase for a barrel of oil. Maybe not directly from Putin, but the very mention of oil hitting $100 a barrel certainly helps Putin vs the United States. If Russia invades, and Biden punishes Russia by limiting oil, then Americans will pay the price at the pump. And I don't know if Americans are prepared to see prices at the pump quadruple overnight? Not to mention heating cost, electricity costs, the cost of transporting goods, all of this linked to oil.
Imagine oil prices so outrageous that Americans can not afford to fill up, thus can not get to work, thus the economy takes another major hit. And thats just over here in America. What about the rest of the world?
So I see only one solution. All out world war three.
For the stability of humanity, one side must win and one side must lose. Either their way of life must come to an end, or our way of life must come to an end, and to the winner goes the spoils.
Its odd, but what Putin is doing with Ukraine could bring down our economy, resulting with inflation as never seen before over here as well as worldwide. And if it comes to that, one side must be eliminated.
