US importing oil from Russia in order to sell more of their oil to Europe because they pushed a wedge in to stop Europe from buying oil from Russia.

This is the most efficient system.

Here's a link from PBS for the libs.

After reading your comment and I looked through the sources cited. Besides the initial source (i.e. linked article) being from a place I never heard, and the 'increase' in cost of oil purchased $74 → $76 (which, if I understand correctly, is a minor increase and doesn't seem to take inflation into account; without calculating or knowing my sense is that it's not meaningful) what part is 'fake news'? I'm trying to understand and I don't really get it.

The link and info stated in the linked article which links to Foreign Policy is legitimate from what I can tell. I skimmed it, and it seems completely in order.

"Fake news" is lib speak for "something I don't like." They're hoping that if they just believe hard enough reality with reshape itself to fit their vision of what it is "supposed" to be like.
