And when I talk about the US here I mean ruling elites. The US is doing just fine from this war. The US is an oil and gas producer, the largest in the world. So they benefit from rising prices. I'd say the biggest losers are countries like Europe, and neutral oil importing countries around the world.

The oil and gas producers benefit from higher prices, in the same way that glaziers benefit from broken windows. Everybody else loses though.
