Menendez: We Should Stop Importing Russia’s Oil, Up to Biden to Decide if He Wants to Drill More
Breitbart ^ | 03/03/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/03/2022 4:51:39 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) said he thinks the U.S. should impose an embargo on Russian oil, but whether U.S. oil production should be increased to make up for the loss of Russian oil is up to President Joe Biden.

Menendez said, “I support a full embargo, even though it would equate to about — if it’s just the U.S. alone — about 4% of Russian sales globally. But I think it is an important step to make, and I think it is gaining traction. And I think that the president will have to look to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and other measures to offset any domestic challenges. But, look, an evil, horrible war needs some dramatic actions. And so, I think this is one of many that can be taken.”

It doesn't matter at this point: Russia has halted all oil exports to the US as of TODAY.

Biden and the entire Democrat party are EFF'D they keep this sh*t up about not drilling @ home.

Biden doesn’t make decisions, all he can do is wet himself.

Waiting on low IQ Joe to decide anything is a waste of time, as he has been mentally bankrupt for 50 years. Biden must be held responsible for this whole calamity that is going to kill thousands.

Biden says it is up to him, but it should not be. This administration is holding U.S. people hostage.

We need to use less oil. That’s their policy and they stick by it. That way everybody has that skin in the game. Everyone is on the same page even reluctantly.

We heard a while ago that Russia had stopped selling oil to the US. Fact or rumor?

Don’t know the answer, but oil is what is called a “fungible” commodity.

So if Russia redirects that oil to somebody else, it’s still part of the world supply. I’ve read that the ChiComs will buy all the oil and gas that Russia can supply.

What a state of affairs in our nation. ONE MAN decides if we can drill more. Not long ago, companies made their own investment decisions and CFOs figured out how to finance those investments. Now that power is ceded to ONE MAN. What a way to run a railroad (so to speak).

Up to Biden? Who is he, king? If he doesn’t do what’s best for the country then he needs to be removed.

I saw a news blip come across the wire services yesterday that said Putin ordered a halt to exporting oil to the US but that article is now gone. That must have been misinformation.
