Bessent blames Ukraine for gas prices

Treasury Secretary Bessent says Ukraine attacking Russian energy infrastructure is driving up global gas prices. This is the Trump administration's way of saying the US should stop supporting Ukraine because it's inconvenient for oil markets. Blaming the invaded country for economic fallout from defending itself instead of blaming the country doing the invading is deranged. But it fits the pattern: Trump's people will use any excuse to cut Ukraine loose.
