Yesterday

we need Americans to die in foreign wars so our companies can get their oil. That's the price of Epstein Files....er.... freedom.

MAGA politicians want high oil prices and for American soldiers to die in this conflict. They think war deaths will rally support for their side. Otherwise, they could just declare victory and leave now. Trump lifted sanctions on Russia and openly admitted American oil companies will get more revenue from higher oil prices.
