Argument that Biden policy had strong negative effect on oil and gas market forces is poor.

Energy markets don’t exist in a vacuum. When an administration cancels pipelines, signals hostility toward domestic production, and floods the regulatory environment with uncertainty, that absolutely affects supply expectations and investment decisions. And yes, those expectations ripple through prices. That’s not controversial, it’s basic economics.
You don’t get to pretend policy has no impact just because it’s inconvenient to your preferred narrative.

Except it does right now. The national average has gone up a dollar since the war started.

Were you pissed off when Pedo Joe’s gas prices were setting new records in 2021
He kept blaming the Russia/ Ukraine war. There were a lot of people believing that the Russia / Ukraine conflict was what was causing the price hikes. And then the dumbass used oil out of the SPR to try and keep gas prices from going even higher

Really? You ever heard of nuclear submarines? They pretty easily could. Unless someone destroyed their Navy. Which omg…Trump just did. What a coincidence.

One of the worst things in the modern world of discussing business and economics is invariably someone is going to make it political. It’s really hard to have an objective discussion these days.
Liberals and conservatives are the real losers at the gas pump. This affects everyone.

I bet you were a big time cheerleader last June when we "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear capability to the point that it would take them years to recover.
Now?

Average under Biden $3.60. Just fricking wild out of control.

100% correct, especially over the short term. However, the market is still fundamentally oversupplied and prices will fall pretty quickly once the Straight of Hormuz is open / safe (look at the forward curve - it is becoming more and more backwardated).
The more fundamental question is why would you want the price at the pump driving US policy and decision making. It is extremely short-sighted in a global market that will balance back out. Iran has used this as leverage for far too long and our political enemies knew this (Russia and China). Now was the perfect time to move for a number of reasons and China / Russia global positioning would only be strengthened through the passage of time without acting (remember this isn’t just about Iran):
Someone had to rip the bandaid off before Iran either:
(A) continued to exponentially build their ballistic missile stockpile which would give them the future capability to drag this out way longer & more leverage to not have a conflict
(B) eventually acquired a nuke which would make them untouchable and extremely dangerous with an oil supply directly supporting china
Also, we took steps to mitigate the US oil price pain by securing Venezuela and now receiving all their heavy crude (oil stockpiles in the US actually INCREASED recently). Compare that to China, who is now having to ration their oil supplies and will 100% feel much more price pain.
But yeah paying $3.50 vs. $2.80 at the pump is more important.
