US energy policy in a nutshell: the US wants the free flow of energy from the Persian Gulf but is enforcing a blockade of Iranian ports while sanctioning Russia and trading for its diesel at the same time while Saudi oil/gas facilities are under attack by the Houthis that the US won't help fight

Explosions in Riyadh could mean higher prices at the pump. ⛽

As fighting escalates in Yemen, Houthi forces are threatening a critical route for Saudi oil exports, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile global energy market.

3/ So now Trump wants to give Putin a lot of money for Russian diesel, which won’t do anything to markets and won’t even help him in the midterms though I bet Putin told him it would.

Yet somehow the NPR news report today on Russian oil, war in Iran, ⬆️ diesel prices concludes by noting Trump in the 2026 midterm faces the same issue Biden did in 2024 - people feeling the economy is bad even though POTUS says it's great. Media using "both sides" to remake history & reality
