Boy, are you behind the times. The price of oil is dropping, naturally, just like it rose. In a capitalist system, commodities are traded based on the perceived demand for them, plus the anticipated cost of replacing them. Now that Russia's economy is in the crapper and they are losing their war of aggression, their internal demand will drop. The US and west are ramping up production. And, other factors are at play that will neutralize Russia's petroleum bargaining chip. There will be "up," days and "down," days. But, your guy Putin will lose, just like the Whiney Loser Trump did in November of 2020.
