White House press secretary Jen Psaki spoke to reporters Thursday about the ongoing energy crisis exacerbated by the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

Asked about U.S. sanctions on Russian oil, and the possible financial support importing resources from the nation could give Russian President Vladimir Putin, Psaki stressed the administration is looking to divest. However, the process could take some time, Psaki said.

"There's a policy process that is undergone for any decision that is made," the press secretary told reporters. "Sometimes those move rapidly and often there are a range of factors that are discussed as those decisions are made."

It’s part of the Deal

You cant boycott what isn't available to be sold. Putin stopped any sales to U.S. today. Also rocket engines.
Glad our leadership is on the ball. :)
Open up Keystone & XL Pipelines. Problem solved.

The damage began back when President Retard starting choking our own domestic production 🤪

All this other crap is a symptom of that.

No one will invest in a pipeline now.

A president can apparently pull the plug and leave investors holding the bag.

What a crock of.... Just say you don't know, Jen.

[McGruff]

Iraq had Baghdad Bob. We got Washington Jen.

“No one will invest in a pipeline now”. Unfortunately your correct. I made the wishful mistake that Trump was still in office. :)

So,..so we stop buying their oil or they quit selling it. We need to make up the shortfall.

FJB is happy to let the price go up for his climate change bs. We are getting hosed while he blames those calling to stop buying Russian oil or Putin. Either way Americans LOSE.

He is not going to restart Keystone, he is not going to allow drilling. He wants us to suffer. Or his handlers do.

It’s not even contempt at this point...its much deeper.

Don't forget "Baraqqi Bob" Gibbs.

So according to PsychoPsaki, a bunch of bureaucrats are actually in charge of our country. Fabulous.

[Huskrrrr]

Yes, next question.

[tennmountainman]

Peaking is a lying red headed witch.

Psaki

"'This Keystone pipeline, it would take years for that to have an impact on prices,' Psaki said. "Obviously, there are a range of reasons why the president opposes it, but it wasn't functioning, isn't functioning. It would take years. There are also 9,000 approved oil leases that oil companies are not tapping into."

In the past, whenever this discussion about immediate needs came up, what was that number of years they use to argue it took to bring a new oil field online? 10 years...11?

Are they going to bring back the "peak oil" talking point as well?

4.20 in Flagstaff AZ today. Guy at the station said it will hit 4.55 by the end of next week. He expects 6 to 7 bucks a gallon by memorial day.

They wanted the war they got, they don’t want to shut it down unless they can bring Russia to heel and get them on the world order train to green utopia

She’s not a real redhead. She has black roots most of the time. As a redhead, I don’t want to be grouped with her. ;)

Why is none of this an impeachable offense? He’s endangering the security of this country; paying for Putin’s war machine to continue to destroy Ukraine and destabilize Europe.

He is stupid in addition to senile. He should be removed now, him and his equally stupid vice president. Why are Lindsey Graham and his pals only writing letters urging the president to change his policy?

[crz]

“Putin stopped any sales to U.S. today.”

Oil sales included?

Havent heard that one.
