"Many countries "that" are affected," not "who" are affected.

Krasnov is bluffing, he wants to get other countries involved so that he can quietly surrender and then blame those countries when things go south. Bibi used Krasnov bigly.

Releasing oil reserves is only a temporary fix, the big problem is Hormuz being shut down and several ME countries cutting back on oil production.

Someone explain to me why when Russia invaded Ukraine the price of gas in the US jumped to 5 dollars a gallon but when we have a war in the ME gas is at 3.64 a gallon?

I seriously doubt that Krasnov will hit the oil depot on Kharg Island, he is in a real bind. Yes it is the main oil port for Iran and blowing it up would cripple Iran, but then the consequences would be that Iranians would have nothing left to lose and blowing up Kharg Island will also raise the price of crude and gasoline worldwide. Blowing up the oil depot would turn every Iranian against the United States.
