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

I believe this is step one of their plan to raise the prices of fuel. The sequential steps will be more costly for consumers but isn’t this what the biden voters wanted ?
EXACTAMUNDO!!
Bidet hasn’t “pumped” anything; it’s just he hasn’t yet successfully dismantled all the progress Trump made.
I’m about THIIIISS CLOSE to NOT being very unhappy if Putin nuked Washington D.C.
When do Marine 1, AF1, get pulled from service and all the power generation to operate the White House replaced with wind and solar?
It worked for Barry. Very well.
So they figure it will keep on working.
I’m quite confident that they were aware beforehand of the actions that would be taken by the “Melatonin/Relaxium Administration”, and “pulled out” to ensure that they’d still maintain a lofty ESG score in the coming months. Great Reset and all ya know.
Oil is a fungible commodity. If anyone in the world buys Putin’s oil it will find its way onto the world market.
Key word, first year. They are riding the end of the wave of Trump’s energy policy.
In the end THIS IS HURTING AMERICANS MORE than its hurting Russia.
Well, it’s what his handlers told him to say. Gotta give the old coot a break in that regard....
He wouldn't really say that, would he?
Would he?
When Al Gore talked like this, Al Gore knew he was lying. Biden believes his own hype.
Furthermore, chocolate rations have increased from 20 grams a week, to 12 grams a week! Rejoice!
He did in fact pump more oil than Trump year one (Obama policy) but NOT Trump year two, three or four. So Joe cherry picked the comparison to make himself look good and stifle debate. Joe is a jackass.
He really did but he carefully chose Trump year one when Obama policy was being unwound. He DID NOT have more domestic production than Trump year two, three or four.
You see through their smokescreen BS. Very good
Two weeks into the war, have purchased Russian oil for those two weeks and now “we’re not subsidize Putin’s war”! Too later Joe, you have paid for about 1/2 to 3/4 of it!
A month by month graph of the last 6 years of US oil production would be quite educational.
A month by month graph of the last 6 years of Russia’s oil revenues would also be quite educational.
He lies in his sleep, when he takes a dump, when he eats, when he’s boinking his wife or whomever. Foe Brandon lies whenever he breaths.
There won’t be a November. Just watch..
There will be some catastrophe that will
Prevent our election.
