Kamala Harris Asked Why The United States Continues To Buy Oil From Russia (wait for it ...)
Not The Bee ^ | 3/2/22 | Harris Rigby

Well, as you know, on this issue, for example, we applaud Germany in terms in what it has done in terms of Nordstream 2. As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the President said, re-evaluated what we're doing in terms of the strategic oil reserves here in the United States to make sure it will not have an impact, or we can mitigate the impact on the American consumer.

To think I could've saved all my frustration over this had I just waited for her commentary. /S

We stand with Ukraine by buying Russian oil.

America Pays Putin $70 Million Per Day For Oil. The US way of imposing sanctions. From exporting oil under Trump to importing oil under Biden and prices going through the roof. What’s not to like about socialism?

March 3, 2022

Even though America is threatening Russia with sanctions they still pay Putin $70 million per day for oil which helps them in their attack of Ukraine.

America Pays Putin $70 Million Per Day For Oil

Consider the absurdity of the situation… Joe Biden is making a show of strength by threatening Russia with sanctions in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, Americans pay around $70 million per day to Russia for oil imports.

In other words, we’ve sent Putin about a half-billion dollars throughout his war against Ukraine over the last seven days!What exactly is going on here?

On the one hand, Biden claims that sanctions are harming Vlad, while on the other, we’re handing him $70 million a day!

This is insane. However, it is 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 looked, oil is currently valued at $106 a barrel, with the war in Ukraine being one of the reasons for its high price, thus…. So Vlad is profiting more from his oil by fighting a neighbor!

How fantastic is that? Isn’t it a sweet racket?

And that fact comes straight from Joe Biden’s mouth. Because it was Biden who stepped into power and promptly canceled an American oil pipeline.

It was Biden who ended the Trump administration’s energy independence by revoking lucrative oil leases, among other things. And for what purpose? Take a look around…

We continue to use the same amount of oil. The only difference is that we’re paying a lot more for it, and we’re also contributing to Putin’s military operation. Although we don’t have to, we send Russia $70 million each day. All we have to do here at home is drill, dig, and frack.

How can Biden and the Democrats scream bloody murder over the war in Ukraine when it was their irrational policies that enabled it?

But it isn’t just in the United States. It’s also those European Union leftists who are shutting down operating nuclear power reactors just to transfer billions to Putin for the oil, natural gas, and coal his country holds.

Not only would Putin be too bankrupt to wage a war if the Western world just used its own energy resources, but he would also lose power over a West that now has to rely on a Russia to keep its lights on. So keep all of this in mind while Joe tries to be harsh with Putin. The truth is that when given the option of developing our own resources or feeding Russia the amount of $70 million per day, Biden decided to pay Putin

This is a perfect example of why SATIRE is a dying linguistical art. It's hard to enjoy clever witasisms when you have to investigate the veracity of subject issues.

No one should expect truth to come out of the mouth of an "African America" whose neither of her two parents were from Africa but other foreign lands.

“Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong,” Harris responded.

Sadly, this is real.

While they refuse to cutoff Nord Stream 1.

While Nord Stream 2 has been completed it has never gotten approval, so that was an east call for Germany, allowing them to virtue signal for the gullible.

In Biden's case his band-aid measure to open the surplus supply to 1 & 1/2 days worth of oil to lower prices, is as worthless, as he is.

It’s like listening to the logic of a 3 year old.

George Orwell described this mental gymnastic in his dystopian novel, “1984”. It is called “doublethink”, the capability to hold two antithetical and diametrically opposed beliefs about one subject, and never recognize the cognitive dissonance it produces.

The biggest and most forceful sanction that could be brought against the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin would be to reverse every restriction placed on the extraction, transportation, and refining of petroleum and natural gas since January 20, 2021, and flooding the world market with product, far in excess of our own domestic needs.

Make the price of oil $40 a barrel again, and the dreams and aspirations of Putin would drop like a lead balloon.

Yep I heard her say that. She sounds like she is explaining to 3rd graders what is happening in that war.

Or does she think that we the people are like elementary school kids, and that she needs to talk down to us???

Along with being a clueless ho, does it seem Kamala is medicated?

Not sure if it is antidepressants or what but she seems a bit ‘spacey’ all the time.

The cackling clueless out to lunch zoned out mode. Drug side effects?

That was a simple “yes” or “no” question, and she responded with word salad.

The correct answer is “No. We Democrats are total hypocrites. We want Europe to suffer while we claim the glory. We want to claim Russia is evil while we buy their oil—because we crippled US energy production by shutting down the Keystone pipeline. If the average American understood what we have done and are doing now, they would hang us all in the town square.”

Heck, 3-year-olds are smarter than Kamala Harris. A kid would say:

"So Kamala is basically saying that Russia wanted to take Ukraine's lollipop - after knocking Ukraine down. Meanwhile, Kamala wants the USA to buy lollipops from Russia. That Kamala girl is sure dumb!"

Last week Peter Doocy asked Psaki Puppet why were going to sanction Russia over the Ukraine invasion, then sit down beside them at the negotiating table with the Iran Nuclear Deal talks.P>
Doocy (after Psaki cited needing Russia to get a new Iran deal): "So...that we can understand...that means...you guys will sit here & sanction Vladimir Putin and then send diplomats to go sit on the same side of the table...to hash out the Iran deal? Is that what's happening?"

If only the media-quack had said one word to that: Why?

Kamala would have gone straight to cackle-land.
