Inside, US officials are discussing Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, they&#8217;re not playing chess, although it might seem like it. They&#8217;re discussing Ukraine&#8217;s attack on Russian oil facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Act One: Drone Strikes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine and Russia have been launching drone strikes at each other amid the military conflict between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine, the drones flying around like flies in the summer, except they carry more explosions than mosquito bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Act Two: The US Speaks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US, like a teacher trying to calm down a fight in the schoolyard, urges Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? Because of concerns that such attacks could skyrocket global oil prices and trigger retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Act Three: Ukraine Refuses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Ukraine, like a disobedient child, refuses to listen, insisting that Russian oil facilities are legitimate targets for Ukrainian forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Global Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attacks have helped drive up oil prices, which have increased nearly 4% since March 12 when Ukraine first targeted Russian energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rising gasoline prices in the United States will also weaken President Joe Biden&#8217;s approval ratings and diminish his chances of re-election in the upcoming November presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what can we learn from all this? As Albert Einstein said, &#8220;Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.&#8221; And in this case, energy transforms into geopolitical conflict and oil price fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an increasingly interconnected world, every action has global consequences. And as we see in this drama, the consequences can be significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let&#8217;s hope for a peaceful and stable resolution in the future. Because ultimately, we all inhabit the same planet, and we all need energy to sustain our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>jlk&#8211; On a bright day, the sun shines brightly over the White House.
