When they change their facebook profile pictures to the Ukrainian flag, it's irritating.

But do we really have to carry their virtue signaling on our back?

Isn’t this just a case of Biden re-imposing an embargo that Trump had put on Russian energy imports, and Biden lifted last year? LOL.

[SMARTY]

Maybe someone FINALLY drew Joe a picture with stick figures

[oblomov]

So we increase our imports of Mexican & Brazilian oil because Bidet won’t approve new fracking projects and pipelines.

They best way to sanction Putin is $40 oil, not $140. These people are morons.

Our country (and most others) are run by oligarchs that care more about getting positive news coverage than their own citizens. I don’t care about Ukrainian nazis getting blown up nor do I care about Maintaining Victoria Nuland’s money laundering operation disguised as a democracy. Not that I want regular Russians or Ukrainians to suffer but it’s not my problem and this invasion is at least partially America’s fault

$10/gallon gas by July.

Enjoy, America.

[rktman]

Woohoo! $8/ gal will arrive very quickly. Fookin’ idjits!

Exxon, Shell, Total.......all have already ceased purchase of Russian oil

The Biden pronouncement is therefore a joke. He has ordered what has already taken place.

Biden..... all Ray Bans and no airplane

[JonPreston]

Kill Russia. Kill, kill, kill Russia!

[PIF]

Must have cut a fat deal with the Iranians - Russia’s backdoor for oil exports. Mullahs will have their nukes soon and be able to launch them sooner than they expected.

[OHPatriot]

Just remember 10% of $140 is a lot more than 10% of $40
The Big Guy just looking out for #1. FJB !!!!

This is designed to look tough, but does little. If US companies can’t buy Russian petroleum products that means US companies have to buy from somewhere else. Meanwhile, the Russian product that US companies did not buy is purchased some other company in another nation. I wouldn’t be surprised that multi-national energy companies operating under a corporate veil restrict their US subsidiaries from the purchase of Russian product while they allow their foreign subsidiaries to purchase Russian product.

Nailed it.

Yet he is not going to free up domestic production because Jen Pasaki says more oil is bad and we need to reduce our consumption..

[mware]

Think we are going to get to 5 by St Patrick’s Day. We’re 4.27 as of yesterday. Went up 27 cents in one day.

[McGruff]

Europe will not go along with this. At least they will have lower gas prices.

Exactly. They are morons and, unfortunately, their followers are even bigger morons.

That would mean Biden would have to reverse his day one domestic oil restrictions that sent oil prices up the first day in office. Psaki says we don't want more domestic supply, we need to suffer and reduce consumption. The have no problem heating her office and she could care less if the cost doubles.
