From the Breaking News thread, but I think my response is more appropriate here ...
Americans aren't just watching the proxy war comfortably though, they are probably laughing since US is selling LNG at more expensive prices to Europe, making a profit.
Let the Americans laugh. The only reason their oil prices aren't sky high is that Biden has been emptying their piggy bank: selling oil from their Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Needless to say, this is extremely short-sighted.
, half of the medium sour crude will be gone from their SPR. The medium sour is what their own refineries can handle; the rest, about 15% of what the SPR was last year, is light sweet crude.
So their strategic reserves of medium sour might last until next year -- maybe, if nothing goes wrong. Perhaps a little longer than that, if they can mix some Venezuelan heavy sour with their remaining light sweet.
When the SPR is exhausted, watch the US's oil prices hit the roof. And the Americans won't be laughing any more.
