ITS HAPPENING!

Not an option to us with Biden cancelling / blocking all of those oil and gas permits. We would have energy sources to replace Russia’s market share. Now we don’t.
Biden’s policies have enriched Russia, weakened the United States and our allies, and taken options off the table to counter their influence.
Biden has us over a barrel.
What a jerk.
BiXiden and his Marxist puppet masters are just not serious about sanctions.
We don’t have any leverage to do anything including saving the hapless eurodingbats thanks to President Retard ruining our energy production before this ever took place 🤪
As Biden said way back during the campaign - he would defer to our allies and do everything by consensus with them. So he’s the dog getting wagged….mostly by Germany. He’s not doing what’s best for America and he’s not leading internationally, he’s going along with Europe.
Basically, he speaks arrogantly and belligerently, but when it comes to action he just takes a big dump.
The price of crude was already very high before the invasion. The war had very little to do with the price. It was the Biden policies that drove up the price.
Well, duh:
We’re importing Russian oil.
Yep. You can't just flip a switch and turn on oil production, it doesn't work that way. Biden and his goons have spent the last year doing everything they could to sabotage U.S. oil production now suddenly they want it going again.
of course not... we’re STILL buying oil from them!!!
Of course not, they’ll just sanction our access to energy.
They should target Belarus and cut off the head of it’s government.
Exactly, that's the low-hanging fruit.
So, Putin was right and the years of gaslighting was for the purpose to hinder the Russian development?
For all the talk of oligarchy and “gas station” the West surely likes to have Russia in such capacity.
Sberbank was telling retail customers on Russian social media today that sanctions won’t be a disruption for them.
I am near sure it is because we dont import energy from Russia, surely? /s
How did we go from being literally self-sufficient to importing our energy needs in just one year? And to think that for years, I had been telling myself it would take decades to fix the sh*t that was broken and fraked up under the ObamaIdiot tenure.........
“but a major sector of Russia’s economy will be exempt from the punishing measures.”
so what’s left? russian nesting dolls and fourth rate russian military accessories sold in army/navy surplus stores?
The fact that Russia is receiving hard currency at top dollar for their oil and gas which flows uninterrupted to NATO countries and remains able to participate in SWIFT banking underscores the the fact that these “sanctions” are not credible. The flow of Russian oil and gas and the prompt payment via SWIFT is ludicrous policy if you really consider Russia a dastardly nation waging an unjust war of aggression. Face it. Ukraine, like Taiwan in the near future and Tibet in the past, is essentially on its own.
