Russian invasion of Ukraine, and reaction in the US

 


You notice, that practically every news program that has a Russo-Ukraine war segment follows it immediately with the price of gasoline?  fair and balanced.
Republicans always blame a Democratic President for gasoline prices. In 1973, because of an Arab-Israeli War, there was an OPEC reduction of oil exports. Republican Nixon was president. There was another oil crisis when Democratic Carter was president. Republicans only remember gas lines during the latter's term. When both Bushes had Iraqi wars, oil prices went up; Republicans talked about Obama. The repukes would rather blame Biden than Putin.
