AFAIK the USA doesn’t export the kind of oil you can use for cars, trucks, or airplanes.

More specifically the US isn't setup to refine the oil it exports. It would cost many billions of dollars to convert. I'm not real knowledgeable on the topic, but the US seems to be a real pro at kicking itself in the balls. Dumb yankees. I hope it hurts.

The oligarchs are real good at maximizing profits for themselves.*

They dont give a fuck if it destroys the country. They'll just move somewhere else and keep going.
