NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil said Friday that it will wind down a drilling project in Russia in compliance with U.S. sanctions, but said it received a license to keep working beyond the sanctions' deadline in order to complete the work.

U.S. sanctions against Russia over its involvement in the Ukraine require the removal of U.S. workers on projects in the Russian Arctic and other select locations by September 26.

Russia should have to develop its own oil and gas.

I'd rather be unemployed than do business with a tyrant.

But that's just me.

I hear Iran is in the market for qualified nuclear researchers.

Squeeze, isolate and crush Russia by all means.
