A Fox News contributor claimed that President Joe Biden enabled the Russian invasion of Ukraine after making bad decisions, including carrying out a “full scale attack” against domestic energy production on Fox Business Thursday.
Charles Hurt, the opinion editor of The Washington Times, told Stuart Varney on Fox Business that Biden “made a lot of terrible decisions” when he entered office, including “the full scale attack on energy independence” which not only increased gas and food prices, but also encouraged Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.
WATCH:
“I would argue that it was that attack on American oil and gas, which increased gas prices so much that it gave Vladimir Putin the money he needed to invade,” Hurt said, adding that these were “a policy platform” of the Biden administration.
The Biden administration canceled offshore lease sales in May after issuing new regulations in April that placed new restrictions on onshore drilling for oil and natural gas, even as it urged the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to increase production. The administration also canceled the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and claimed that restarting the project would not lower oil and gas prices.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February, leading to massive economic sanctions and companies pulling out of Russia. Over 4,000 civilians have been killed in the fighting, according to the United Nations.
The White House and Hurt did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.

You notice Russia did attack anyone while Trump was in office! It only took Afghanistan to convince them they could get away with anything.
Miss Trump Yet?
Woke; and idiots who promote it are to blame.
Men are not allowed to be men.
Putin knows this and can smell the blood in the water
Biden has about as much insight for his actions as a garbage can. Of course he doesnt have to bare the weight of his actions. Even with all his servants waiting on his every wish while we have to deal with higher prices and even the inavailability of no being able to acquire some goods and empty shelves at the store. Im sure he had ample supplies for his feeble ass. Im sure his chauffeur keeps plenty of gas in Bidens transportation. He doesnt even have to worry about paying for it. Like all Dems ., he doesnt have to account for his actions. Rep. Congressmen have to stand up against him as one instead of having all these deep swamp spies sabotaging the party and its efforts to maintain order and control. I just wonder how many of them have been bought off by liberal lobbyist.
