In fact, thanks to Biden, the U.S. is paying for the Russian invasion. His energy policy of reducing American production, stopping the almost completed keystone pipelines, no drilling on federal lands, new regulation regarding oil and gas drilling, and much more spiked the price of energy. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/naturalgas\/monthly\/pdf\/table_03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in 2020 the price<\/a>\u00a0of natural gas was $4.36\/1,000 cubic feet, 2021 prices averaged $9\/1,000 cubic feet.<\/p>\n<p>Before Biden became President, the U.S. was energy independent and an exporter of energy. The lower American production and removing Trump\u2019s restrictions on the Nordstream natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. His policies made other countries more reliant on Russian gas. Giving Putin leverage on other countries such as Germany and doubling the price. All that extra money went straight into Russia\u2019s pockets. Those new profits helped Russia raise the funds to continue Putin\u2019s dream of the greater Russia of the USSR.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the higher prices and the increased dependence on Russian energy, the mishandling of the Afghan withdrawal and removing some of the Iran sanctions showed Biden to be a weak President. Putin is no idiot. All of Biden\u2019s flawed policies and feeble foreign policy made the Russian president understand that if he was ever going to get Ukraine back in Russia\u2019s clutches, this was it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One of the people who understands is Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). In tweets on Feb.21 made after Putin\u2019s speech declaring parts of Ukraine were independent states, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyGrahamSC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graham wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen it comes to thugs like Putin disrupting world order and destroying democracies \u2013 enough is enough,\u201d Graham wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPutin\u2019s decision to declare eastern Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions within Ukraine is both a violation of the Minsk Agreements and a declaration of war against the people of Ukraine,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis decision should immediately be met with<strong>\u00a0forceful sanctions to destroy the ruble and crush the Russian\u00a0oil and gas sector,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On Sunday the 20th, Senator Rubio (R-FL) said on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/press-releases?id=E49075B9-EF5E-4E1E-9B49-24DB9EC6B15A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunday Morning Futures:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Putin believes [invading Ukraine] will ultimately disrupt his ability to sell oil and natural gas.
