You said that Zelenskyy had "learned" how to manipulate the world. I took that as implying he just started this after the Iran war had started to take advantage. So I provided evidence that makes whatever point your were trying to make, moot. And you think that is dumb?

Russia invaded them in 2022. THAT is what triggered energy prices surges back then. You really want to blame Ukraine for attacking them back?

Further, after the oil prices spiked as a result of the Russian invasion, they eventually stabilized as did gas prices. Gas was down to $3.12 when Biden left office and had further fallen to $2.98 before trumps idiotic war.

Currently gas is at $4.48.

So...yeah...your comment makes little to no sense. Yes, all wars in oil rich areas and attacks on oil infrastructure will spike oil and gas prices. You're also aware of what the Houthi's are doing too, correct? That further adds to the pot, maybe even more than what Ukraine is doing bombing Russia.

If you meant something else entirely, apologies.
