“We are still buying crude oil from Putin. We are wiring him money every day from the United States and payment for crude oil going into Boston Harbor. You know, we are being lied to. We are being conned.”

President Biden said Thursday that the U.S. is working with other countries on a coordinated oil release from the global petroleum reserve in the coming days in a bid to reduce rising gasoline prices.

The real question is, what the heck are you babblng about Mister Troll?
Biden's position on sanctions against Russia have changed more than he's had more hot dinners. He's making it up as he goes along and everything hes tried have failed miserably.

It may only be 3% of US consumption but it is $59 million per day to Russia

Thats true, my point is this guy is ranting about lying. No one ever claimed we would stop buying the oil.

And why not, Mister Troll?
Have you even been listen to Kamala Harris?
And why did Biden cancel the oil/gas pipelines day one, then cancel all oil drilling on federal lands then massively reduce US oil production at a stroke?
Why is it that when President Trump left, we 23re net exporters of oil but today we are importing over 600,000 barrels a day, a lot of it from Russia, thanks to Budin’s insane actions?

Our sanctions are not designed to cause any disruption to the current flow of energy from Russia to the world,” Singh said.

Is that why the price of oil/gas have shot up since Biden seized power and shot up even more since from before the war started?
What drugs is Singh on?

How do you even manage to come up with this nonsense with a straight face?
The guy points out we are still importing Russian oil and paying for it in dollars so therefore you claim with ZERO proof he “likely was invested where he shouldn’t be”?
When are you going to stop making nonsense up against real conservatives?

Are you really as stupid as you appear to be? What language is your primary one. It’s obviously not English since none of your replies are in any way relevant to what I posted. Or are you on drugs and posting in response to voices in your head?

Yet another insane rant from the latest paid Soros troll, which makes zero attempts to address even a single one of the serious issues/questions I raised to his stupid posts, but instead takes comfort in spewing out eve more deranged nonsense.
The questions to you still remain and you can't escape them by acting even more crazy.

Searched the web a bit trying to find out why this is and found this.

https://www.afpm.org/newsroom/blog/oil-and-petroleum-imports-russia-explained

“In 2021, increased Russian imports to refineries in California and Washington state have helped offset lower volumes of light sweet crude imports into California from other countries—notably Nigeria—and lower volumes of U.S.-produced crude oil shipped by rail to Washington.

Increased imports of crude oil to the USGC region in 2021 were largely driven by disruptions to U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil production caused by Hurricane Ida and have since declined.

And, since 2019, U.S. refineries have increased imports of unfinished heavy oils from Russia to help replace heavy sour crude from Venezuela that U.S. refineries can no longer import.”

You really are as stupid as they come.

"my point is this guy is ranting about lying. No one ever claimed we would stop buying the oil. Biden explicitly stated that in the announcement."

AND I POSTED THE PROOF TO BACK THAT UP.

Show me where in any post I made ANY OTHER POINT, YOU STUPID MORON?! Go take some basic English reading comprehensions classes so you don't make a flaming fool out of yourself in public again.

The trouble with you deranged far left paid trolls is, you think you are smarter than everyone else.
In reality you are the most stupid people on the planet. You don't need me to tell you that. I am sure you've been told how really stupid you are all your life.
Chuckle.

Proof huh? Where is your “proof” at? And where did you post it at? Give me the post number will you?
Again have you been paying attention to what Kamala Harris was saying about sanctions and their effects from before the war, which were in direct contravention of what Dementia Joe was saying?

Through our financial and other sanctimonious sanctions, except for petroleum, the fix is in. What is the value of this Ukraine exercise? Crowd control?

Well, I have to buy gas for the gas guzzler this morning. Looking at local gas prices on my semi-smart phone, I may have
take out a home equity loan. Nearing $4.00 gallon, making it between $80 and $100.

Are Y’all sure the ‘sanctions’ are on Russia and not the American public?

Posting in all caps don’t make your posts make anymore sense. They merely amplify your abject , appalling stupidity.

Are you really TOO STUPID to not know when material is being quoted from a source article? WOW! I've encountered STOOOPID before but you may be the all time prize winner. Even a room temperature IQ type would have looked each post, saw #14, and not made a further fool out of themselves.

Post #14, copied straight from a Fox News online article:

*********************************************************

Every news article had this. Whats not to understand?

Earlier this week, the White House was criticized after Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh said that the sanctions levied against Russia are “not designed to disrupt” Russia’s energy exports.

“Our sanctions are not designed to cause any disruption to the current flow of energy from Russia to the world,” Singh said.
