It turns out that the laws of basic economics cannot be cancelled by political posturing or climate activist tears. In a stunning development that absolutely nobody in the mainstream media wants to explain, Brent crude oil prices have collapsed all the way back to pre-war levels, hitting their lowest point since February 27. How did this happen? Simple: Middle Eastern countries actually pumped more oil.

For months, we were told by the self-proclaimed 'experts' that energy prices would stay high forever, that cheap gas was a thing of the past, and that we all needed to go buy $60,000 electric vehicles to save ourselves. But the physical market had other plans. When you actually increase the supply of a commodity, the price goes down. It is a concept so simple even a politician should be able to grasp it, yet here we are.

When the war kicked off in late February, the entire geopolitical establishment panicked. Markets went into a frenzy, prices spiked, and the usual suspects immediately tried to use the crisis to push their green energy grift. Instead of letting domestic drillers do their jobs and produce energy, Western elites cried about a permanent global crisis while begging foreign nations to bail them out.

And bail them out they did. Middle Eastern producers simply opened up the taps, increased their export volumes, and let the magic of the free market do the rest. This massive influx of physical crude completely broke the artificial scarcity narrative, sending Brent crude futures sliding right back down to their late February baseline.

This price drop is a massive reality check for the entire green transition narrative. When the global economy was on the brink of an energy-driven collapse, wind turbines and solar panels did not come to the rescue. It was traditional, reliable, fossil-fuel abundance from Middle Eastern oil fields that saved the day. The world runs on oil, and pretending otherwise is just clown world behavior.

Of course, now that prices are dropping, do not expect any of the media elites to apologize for their months of doom-mongering. They will probably try to claim that the price drop is a bad thing or find some way to spin it as a victory for their favorite politicians. But regular people who actually drive to work and pay bills know the truth: supply solved the problem.

While the relief at the pump is great news for families who were getting absolutely crushed by inflation, the fact that we had to rely on Middle Eastern supply to fix this mess is a national embarrassment. We have massive energy reserves sitting right under our feet, yet we are forced to watch foreign nations balance the global market because our own regulators are too busy saving the planet through bureaucracy.
