We started buying Russian oil again in October 2020.
Trump’s policy evidently included buy a quarter of a billion dollars worth of Russian oil in the last several weeks before the election and prior to Slo-Joe getting into office.
(19 million barrels a day, for a total of $268 million dollars.)
This whole oil thing is a red herring.
Some intern in Congress read the numbers wrong and eveyone has gone to town on them without checking the numbers.
Getting worked up over the $229 million dollars worth of oil we’ve bought from them in 2022 is kind of a waste of energy (pun intended.)
Of course, we should cease it. But there are bigger fish to fry.
What was the price of oil when Trump was in office before Covid, we were a swing supplier and a net exporter? What is the price now? That is one big damn herring.
