Sunday on FNC’s “Fox News Live,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) emphasized the importance of doing everything possible to “allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”
Ernst called Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression “absolutely unacceptable.” She added that the United States needs to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians,” including cutting off Russia’s energy sources.
“[T]his is heartbreaking, Bret,” Ernst said in response to Putin ordering his country’s nuclear forces to be on high alert. “And as I’ve asked point to many viewers before, I spent some time in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet Union in 1989. And what I learned from the Ukrainians at that point was that they wanted to be free; that remains true today. Ukrainians want to be free.”
“And what we see, this aggression shown by Russia, by Vladimir Putin — it is absolutely unacceptable, and it should be unacceptable across the world stage,” she continued. “We have to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians. We need to cut off Russian energy sources, we need to become energy independent, and we need to make sure we are doing absolutely everything we can to allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”

According to Congressman Pete Stauber (R-MN) the USA is paying Russia $22 million per day for their oil.
“why doesn’t she, instead, fight like hell for the US to produce it’s own oil??“
Because these elitist POLITICIANS EACH have all the money a small town could run on for a month.. besides, THEY aren’t the ones paying for THEIR luxuries…. WE are..
According to them, WE had better learn to do with less.. so THEY can maintain and build THEIRS..
Russia needs 70.00 a barrel price to profit.
Oil sells on world market price

Thanks for playing
so sadly true. makes ya sick if you think too much on it.
I agree. There was a whole different take on the conflict by
Col. Macgregor today. Two 3 minute clips from Last Refuge.
The second clip more important I think.
The Col. thinks we need to mind our own business or we will make things worse. It appears to me Putin is neither crazy or sick. I also read Putin’s 21 page address to the nation night before the “invasion”. It gave me a different perspective
On what I was taught growing up...worth the read also.
Yes. Russia EXPORTS energy. We buy OIL from Russia.
November 2021, which is the last data set available,
the US imported 254,162,000 barrels of oil: From Russia, 17,855,000 barrels were imported
We need to replace Russian imports with our own domestic production. 🤪
Trump was right
When we take the House in November it had better be with MAGA people or the Assistant Democrats will just keep assisting the Democrats.
Being from Iowa, she probably wants more Ethanol production.
Grow corn, turn it into alcohol instead of feeding it to cows and pigs.
Well, we cut off our own. I guess it’s time to move on in
his head.
Where does he think we get that 550 million barrels of oil
per day from, since we can’t pump our own.
Imagine, Biden trying to play WOKE at the same time he can’t
remember who his wife is from moment to moment.
Joni Ernst and her gal pal Liz Cheney (among others) want to ‘Cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war’.

NO MORE WARS! NOT ONE AMERICAN TO DIE FOR UKRAINE! (no matter how they pronounce KEEV).
she needs to go
“But how will they run their cars without Ethanol?” - Sen. Joni Ernst, probably
Cool. And the plan to do that is?
A foreign policy expert named Joni. No.

I’ve pretty much given up on trying to fix the amazing ignorance about the world oil market.
Ernst is a typical dummy in our Government. We need to drill and produce all of the oil we can and flood the market down to $50 bbl like Trump did. Then cut off oil to Iran and tell anyone that buys Russian oil that they are no friend of ours. Same deal with Germany. Tell them they buy US LNG or we move our troops out and they are on their own.
Just re-elected in 2020 with Trump’s endorsement, just like McConnell, Grahamnesty, Cornyn, Cassidy, Daines, Risch, Rounds, Sasse, Sullivan and Tillis.
He really has to stop endorsing Bush League Republicans.
