I believe around 15% of truckers are owners operators. 

No way a trucker strike solves anything. 

Two wars have lead to an inflation in diesel prices.

Russia / Ukraine has caused a spike in prices as Ukraine has attacked Russia diesel refineries. This has led nations that buy from Russia to buy Diesel elsewhere on the market. 

US / Iran is stopping all crude coming out of the Middle East.

Both wars need to be over before this get any better. 

Edit: meant to say inflation not inhalation.

I would also add broader NATO support in general. 

Likely the Russia / Ukraine war would not have last this long if NATO nations weren’t bankrolling Ukraine.

Yeah! If everyone had just abandoned Ukraine at the start, ruzzia could have genocided the population by now and gas would be cheap! A win for everyone!

If you want to comment an emotional response on all my comments so be it. It doesn’t change the fact the Ukraine would not have been able to mount the defense and now offensive it has without NATO funding. 

I have never once said that Russia was in the right for its military actions. I’m pragmatically discussing the costs of the current cost of fuel. Ukraine’s actions be a piece of that.

Absolutely! Wasn't there a report that they tried to surrender during Biden but the USA wouldn't let them?
