President Joe Biden said the ban is a 'powerful blow to Putin's war machine' during White House remarks
The ban will be levied by the US alone without European Union allies, which rely more on Russian energy
Biden used their reliance on Russian oil and gas as a reason to accelerate the move toward clean energy, which he said 'will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future'
American markets only bought 3.5 percent of their crude oil from Russia last year, with most from Canada
Domestic gas prices have skyrocketed since Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine in late Feb But the crisis has still exacerbated US gas prices, which reached a US-wide record average of $4.17 per gallon
The American Auto Association released a series of tips to help Americans 'conserve' fuel on Monday
Meanwhile US officials have been looking at Venezuela and Saudi Arabia as potential sellers to fill the gap
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said going to authoritarian Venezuela for oil is 'the height of insanity'
Democrat Senator Jon Tester said 'We shouldn’t be advancing other countries who don’t share our values'
More than 7 in 10 Americans still say they'd support a ban on Russian oil, a new poll released Tuesday shows The United Kingdom is expected to levy its own ban on Russian oil, with a ban on its natural gas still in talks

In other news, the chocolate ration was increased from 10g/week to 20g/week.
Lying POS.
Pumping oil out of the US oil reserve doesn’t count Little Joey.
The damage might be irreversible by November. This needs to come to a stop now before it’s a full on world war.
Sure, Mr. Potato Head!
If we’re exporting so much oil, why is our Trade Deficit higher NOW than it was under President Trump?
Let’s Go, Brandon! *SPIT*
I tanked up on Sunday, $40 for HALF A TANK OF GAS! Ford Escape, 4-banger.
What a self aggrandizing sack of $h1t he is.
well to be fair, he prolly did, it took Trump about that long to unscrew the last eight years and open the spigot...
Speaking of Trump, what were gas prices during the Trump administration? Isn’t that what really matters to people?
I’m in Berks too, not looking good.
BIDEN is full of Bull sh** and made up Fairy Tales, taught by the Master story teller, Barry Hussein...
enough said....
DJT is having a Rally this Sat. eve in South Carolina....
LET’S ROLL, PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE are with you....
Pres. Biden asked what can be done about skyrocketing gas prices: “Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible.”

Nothing can be believed coming out of this administration - not a word! I won’t listen to this nonsense Bidens pushing at every TV appearence he has. It’s a total waste of time. It was bad enough before but now it’s just pure propaganda he’s dishing out to the people.
Anybody listening to Buck and Clay today? They played this clip from FJB. He tried to compare oil pumped in his first year in office with oil pumped in “my predecessor’s first year.” Ridiculous! President Trump was just beginning in his first year. FJB had President Trump’s second, third and fourth year to support his first year.
This senile, dementia encrusted fool thinks he’s got us fooled. THINK AGAIN FOOL!
I suppose he’s right if he compares 2021 with 2020 (when we had a collapse in oil prices and demand) or 2017 (when we were just coming off the Obama years).
Assuming the GOP-e don’t go GWB on us, it should be quite the blowout and make 2010 look like an Obama Love-in.
Instead, repeal the 17th Amendment.
It’s inevitable that Democrats are going to call for price controls on gasoline, which would inevitably lead to rationing. But I don’t think they have the votes or political capital to make it happen.
