All because of Biden's idiotic energy policies and his utter failure to do anything to dampen Russia's ability to produce oil. Trump had the right idea. He took the brakes off our energy, gas, and oil production, which damned near destroyed Russia's and Iran's oil-based economies.

Thanks Joe. Barack Obama was right when he said "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."

You assume that the US was ever really interested in a Ukrainian win. Sucks for Biden going into a general election with another digit in the L column but otherwise whatever. Ukraine was never going to be a US ally.

Not the US, DEMOCRATS were vested in maintaining the war in Ukraine without either side winning. That way they can send money to Ukraine, Ukraine can send back freshly laundered money as donatioins and Hunter's salary. If there was peace tomorrow, the gravy train would end.

But they were a combination of covid and Trump blocking offshore drilling.

The oil industry’s fortunes have been withering on President Donald Trump’s watch, with dozens of oil companies falling into bankruptcy as weak crude prices take a toll on the sector he contends would be abolished if he’s not reelected.

Though some of those industry woes were emerging last year as companies grappled with a glut of oil, people in the business say they were made worse by the president’s trade wars and mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic. So far least 40 U.S. oil companies have sought bankruptcy protection in 2020 while dozens of others have slashed spending and cut tens of thousands of jobs.

Trump frustrated the industry last month by declaring vast swaths of shoreline off Florida and other states off-limits to drilling, an election-year reversal of his past promises to expand offshore production. And even one nominal bright spot for the industry — the administration’s aggressive rollback of regulations — has been so rushed and beset by legal challenges that Democrats may have little trouble reinstating the rules if they reclaim power.

“Three and a half years of rollbacks facing serious litigation ensures a lot of things are ‘to-be-decided,’” said Wayne D’Angelo, an energy lawyer and partner at legal firm Kelley Drye who has represented oil and gas companies and trade associations on federal environmental issues.
More fundamentally, oil and gas executives told POLITICO, the president doesn’t really understand their business — and his famously chaotic White House has set up a system where only a relative handful of favorite energy executives have access to people who can shape policy.
“I don’t think it’s one of these things where we as an industry get in a room and say, ‘Man that was a good four years,’” said one industry executive who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to give their opinion to the media. “It was more like ‘meh.’”
