Think about the madness of this… Joe Biden is running around trying to look tough, hitting Russia with sanctions over Vladimir Putin’s obscene invasion of Ukraine. But at the same time, we pay Russia in the vicinity of $70 million per day for oil imports.
In other words, during these seven days of Putin’s criminal war against Ukraine, we’ve sent this same Putin during those same seven days close to a half-billion dollars!
What the hell is going on?
On the one hand, Biden claims to be crippling Vlad with sanctions, while on the other hand, we’re slipping him $70 million PER DAY!
This is nuts. But it’s true…
“In 2021, the U.S. imported an average of 209,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and 500,000 bpd of other petroleum products from Russia.”
And last I checked, oil is currently valued at $106 per barrel, and one of the reasons oil is so high is the war in Ukraine, so…. So Vlad is making more money on his oil by waging his war with a peaceful neighbor!
How great is that?
What a sweet racket, eh?
And that reality is brought to you directly from Joe Biden. For it is Biden who entered office, immediately killed off an American oil pipeline, and then turned around and approved Putin’s pipeline, the Nord Stream 2.
It is Biden who killed the energy independence we enjoyed under the Trump administration by, among other things, canceling lucrative oil leases. And for what? Look around… We’re still using the same amount of oil. The only difference is that we’re paying a helluva lot more to import it, AND we’re helping to fund Putin’s criminal invasion of a sovereign country that was no threat to Russia or anyone else.

Really more than that indirectly by giving them more and more world market share.
This whole thing does not make sense.
Which is why I keep calling it “The Joe Biden financed invasion of the Ukraine”
He puts sanctions on our energy production and zero on Russias, but don’t worry folks, only Presidents who make a phone call to the President of the Ukraine get impeached.
If Biden is getting paid off it does.
Biden is a radical liberal. He’s one of the worst Presidents we’ve ever had.
“If Biden is getting paid off it does.”
Yes.
I have assume from the start this is a grift.
They know how it will end.
There are political goals and financial goals.
It’ll be a win win win for everyone involved.
But we the people lose.
Thought this was by Nick at first.
My theory is Biden killed US energy solely to make it more profitable for countries like Russia, countries that paid him off, and I think Biden had it in for the Ukraine ever since they tried to prosecute his son. And of course not one single solitary Republican calls for an independent investigative counsel to look into this. Only Hillary gets that when she makes up a hoax. Everything is corrupt as hell today.
This $70 million per day should double as inflation hits Russia hard. They will simply pass the increase on to American consumers. Biden Republicans don't seem to care.
That makes me suspect that Biden will be paid in some hidden way, now I understand why he rescinded the Keystone XL permit
If only we had oil and gas natural resources we could mine in this country!
Oh yeah?
Well you’re a racist.
So you can be quiet now....
/sarc(?????)
But...But...
Muh windmills....
That’s right. Biden excluded Russian oil imports into the US.
Biden is helping fund Putin’s war.
But...But...Muh Collusion!
Biden better wake up and allow drilling on puplic land, restart the Keystone pipeline and release the rest of the restrictions to drilling and oil production if he wants to stop Putin. Otherwise people will consider him a Casper Milktoast or a Neville Chamberlain. Everybody with any common sense in this country knows what has to be done now. If he does not do it, his numbers will sink even more. He is being an evironmental bozo.
