This is hilariously fake news.
After reading your comment and I looked through the sources cited. Besides the initial source (i.e. linked article) being from a place I never heard, and the ‘increase’ in cost of oil purchased $74 → $76 (which, if I understand correctly, is a minor increase and doesn’t seem to take inflation into account; without calculating or knowing my sense is that it’s not meaningful) what part is ‘fake news’? I’m trying to understand and I don’t really get it.
The link and info stated in the linked article which links to Foreign Policy is legitimate from what I can tell. I skimmed it, and it seems completely in order.
It’s a site which has no methodology whatsoever. Even Wikipedia mentions as much. It has been proven to be a complete joke on several examples. The site list CNN as some very leftist media outlet for crying out loud.
Cope
how to tell the world you’re an imbecile using a single link
mediabiasfactcheck.com is an absolute joke
I just looked up a few news sources on there, it’s pretty much just the “always the same map” in searchable database form lol.
US importing oil from Russia in order to sell more of their oil to Europe because they pushed a wedge in to stop Europe from buying oil from Russia.
This is the most efficient system.
Europe subjected to a little imperialism by their bastard child. Ironic.
