3. Why is crude oil only $100/barrel?

Why is Krasnov considering temporarily removing the federal gasoline tax? That would amount to a measly 18 cents per gallon.

If I were Krasnov I would cancel my trip to China, Xi is going to eat his lunch. Krasnov goes to China weakened and lost, willing to give away the store to get any help from Xi. China is not about to force Iran to end its blockade of Hormuz.

I expect Krasnov to meet with Xi and then hold a press conference where he tells a fairy tale of what happened.

My fear is that Krasnov will try to buy his way out of this war using our tax dollars.
