The U.S. has a fundamental problem when it comes to its energy policy: when the U.S. buys oil on the world market, they pay it in dollars. Now, the problem is, these dollars lose their value at an increasing rate ( that’s called “inflation”) due to the insane monetary and fiscal policies of the Fed and the brandon administration. So when russia, for example, sells oil to the U.S., they get freshly printed dollars right out of the fed’s money printing machine and can watch them lose their value due to said money printing.

Every year, US armed forces consume more than 100 million barrels of oil to power ships, vehicles, aircraft, and ground operations.” If I were Russia or China I would politely recommend that they crack open their military stockpiles.
