White House press secretary accused the Russian president of a global increase in gasoline prices

109

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre accused the Russian president of a global rise in gasoline prices. In her opinion, he is guilty of a rise in the price of automobile fuel, not only in the United States, but throughout our planet.

A video of an excerpt from Jean-Pierre's speech was published on his Telegram channel by the famous Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.

Look what happened. When Putin began to gather troops on the border with Russia, the price of gasoline rose by $1,51

says a Biden administration spokeswoman.

She notes that similar processes are taking place not only in America, but throughout the world. Jean-Pierre provides data on how much the cost of a gallon of gasoline has increased in Canada, Germany and the European Union.

And the fact that before the start of the special operation of the Russian Federation, fuel prices were lower than they are now, the White House press secretary considers irrefutable evidence of Russia's guilt in this.


According to her logic, it turns out that Putin does whatever he wants with the world. But at the same time, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky was for some reason recognized as the most influential politician on the planet in the West.

If he really has such influence in the world, then the Americans should ask him to somehow solve this problem. What if he does something, and world gasoline prices will immediately fall.

              Here it is - the biological DEGENERATION of Americans in the power of the United States - on a roll!

              Before us is an open LESBIAN-African American Karine Jean-Pierre - the press secretary of the White House in Washington, who teaches the world how he should live, what to think about and who is to blame in the whole world! And this, according to Washington and in its own opinion, is supposedly Russia!
              The confrontation between the American and Russian civilizations is obvious!

            My father is Ukrainian. So what ? You don’t label everyone.. There are more people with Ukrainian surnames in Russia than in Ukraine. And he is fighting against the Svidoucres. with Russian surnames, now there are a huge number of Ukrainians .. Otherwise, we’ll get to the measurement of skulls ... Like a Schilgruber and co.

        The coolest thing is that with this statement the State Department indirectly kicked Biden - as incapable of doing something to reduce gasoline prices ....

        On the contrary, the State Department, through the mouth of the press secretary, faithfully repeated the main thesis of President Biden's domestic policy, which he has been promoting since March 2022: If gasoline has increased in price - doubly blame Putin!
        The self-propelled grandfather on punched cards said that Putin and his SVO are to blame for the current increase in gasoline prices on March 14, 2022.
        "We've seen the price of gas go up over $1 just since he put his troops on the border of Ukraine," Biden said in an address to the National League of Cities on March 14. "It went up $1.05. A big part of that reason is Putin began amassing troops along the border and then crossed (it). And guess what? The world took notice. The market anticipated; prices went up. And then Putin invaded."

        Biden continued, "Make no mistake: The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin. It has nothing to do with the American Rescue Plan,"

        Campaign, the United States raised the banner of the old Soviet tradition - to explain all internal problems by the intrigues of the insidious abroad. Specifically, in March, questions arose in the United States about the effectiveness of the trillion-dollar American Rescue Plan program to boost the economy and help businesses affected by the corona, as well as the impact of this program on inflation - and Biden immediately found the culprit.

      This is not "moaning chicken". This is the position of the US President's office, promoted through his press office. It must be understood that in these posts (press secretary) the personal opinion of the person holding it is not welcome. The apparatus believes that this opinion should be "accelerated" in the media for the population of the country and its environs. He, in general, does not care how it relates to reality and even to the opinion of the president himself. At the same time, the image of a "stupid chicken" for her, according to Psaki's experience, can be deliberately created as a tool for the Apparatus to avoid answering "uncomfortable" questions. In this way, the Apparatus seeks to gain time for a complete analysis of a particular situation in order to avoid inconsistencies in the statements of the first persons .. ..

    By saying this, the Americans did a great stupidity. It's not even that they lied primitively. The main mistake is that the Americans thus sharply increased Putin's rating. According to the logic of the Western layman, if Putin is able to command fuel prices around the world, then he is the ruler of the whole world.

    It is sad that a category of people who are not able to think elementarily comes to the leadership of sufficiently powerful countries. Almost all of Europe is controlled by such creatures. So it turns out that human society will find itself in a difficult situation.

    I don't know how things are in the US but in Poland 56% of gasoline prices are taxes. So if Putin is to blame for the rise in gasoline prices, then he is probably also to blame for the increase in revenues to the Polish budget, which the Polish authorities are probably also offended by. It sounds like paranoia, but these are facts.

      Psaki is an outdated model: married, giving birth to children. And this is already an advanced version, so to speak, "Psaki-M" (or F, who will sort them out there). Non-essential characteristics such as knowledge of history and geography remained unchanged.

    White House press secretary accused the Russian president of a global increase in gasoline prices

    She is paid money for this, so that she hangs all the dogs on Russia, and not on those who imposed sanctions.

    Yes, for them, GDP has long become God
    But at the same time, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky was for some reason recognized as the most influential politician on the planet in the West.
    Indeed, let them turn to him, as for oil to Guaido, and for food to Ttsyakhonovskaya

    Russia can and is involved in the increase in oil prices, as well as the president. But it was the United States itself that turned out to be insolvent, dollars turned into candy wrappers, and because of the sanctions, the United States is unable to offer anything high-tech. It is surprising that in general we continued to sell oil to Europe and the USA, because they have nothing to pay with, their currencies are unreliable.
