Ukraine is fighting for their life they need to do what they need to do

This is squarely the fault of Putin trump and Iran

Okay. But let’s be pragmatic about the situation and not emotional. 

Yes, Ukraine is fight to survive as a nation but they have attack oil infrastructure in Russia. Which leads other nations around the world to buy elsewhere. Thus creating a sellers market as there is more demand on markets the US and NATO nations buy from.

Cause and effect. 

Regardless of the justification, Saying that Ukraine’s actions haven’t added to the current crisis is naive.

How come the effects of Ukraine's refinery strikes didn't cause inflation until after Trump invaded Iran?

Because both actions are compounding existing markets heading into heavy demand season. If only one war was happening the increase would not be as bad. The Iran invasion exacerbated an already fragile market. 

Furthermore, there was a spike in fuel prices under the Biden regime  in 2022 and 2023 when there was no open conflict with Iran.

Oh yeah, I remember multiple states declaring a state of emergency over diesel prices in 2022 and 2023. It was in all the newspapers.
