    I don’t get how the oil market prices are down to under 70 a barrel. I don’t know if it’s manipulation or what. I realize sanctions were lifted on Russia.

    And Donvict released reserves.

    But still.

    Same thing for price at the pump. It doesn’t seem to reflect reality at all.

      I have a theory the powers at be control the price depending on whether they’re winning politically. That’s why they hate renewables so much. Oil is the whip the wealthy use to control the masses financially.

    Wow,they had previously been avoiding sinking any navy boats. Those ships arent meant to be sittiing ducks near shore like that. They are meant to stand off from the shore at a pretty good distance to have any chance at survival. I imagine they are cowering in harbors surrounded by anti missile batteries.
