Time for a total trade embargo. If that means I pay $10 a gallon for gas while helping to crush Putin then so be it.

Oil, like cash, is fungible. If Russia can’t sell direct, it will be instead sold to China, or some other 3rd party, then sold to the U.S. Marked up along the way, of course.

Right, an embargo would simply cost the USA money and not affect Russia at all.

We shouldn’t have to pay more than $2.00 a Ballon and could still crush rushia- but our Saul president destroyed our energy independence.
