YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat’s really behind rising gas prices? We dug into U.S. oil companies' financial reports to investigate the REAL reason prices have spiked. The culprit? It's not Joe Biden — it's corporate greed.
Oil execs, who have been Putin’s close partners for years, are cashing in on Russia’s war.
