Europe hasn't seen outrageous energy prices BECAUSE of herculean efforts on the part of the Biden administration (at the expense of the American people in my opinion) and the world wide begging pleading etc...for the rest of the world to make up for Russian oil. The problem is that any major disruption (and we were extremely lucky this year that no major hurricane struck the Gulf Of Mexico) and with our oil reserve being tapped for prices and not an emergency and the whole thing crumbles and the effects of this war is felt by the little guy.

Which brings me to the real reason why we see so many wars in the modern era.

The number of people affected is CONTAINED to an outrageous degree.

The politics of war has been so refined that it is no longer an issue for a nations society (unless your country is the center of the action).

The last time that the US society felt the full effects of a war was Vietnam.  Since that time only a small segment of the country felt the burden of the conflict.

That's what's happening here.  All the war boosters don't experience the burden of the war.  In the US, our children will feel the results of this folly but in the present everyone can be cool, hip, "on the right side of history" etc...because they can cheerlead without suffering any repercussions.
