While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said we should see if Iran and Venezuela “can help those countries that are trying to stop Putin” by boosting the world’s energy supply, and that while doing so is a deal with the devil, “doing business with the devil for a few days” isn’t as bad as Russia killing civilians daily. Durbin also stated that we should ensure “people in the oil industry are not using this crisis to raise their profits.”

Funny how Big Pharma can make a killing in a “crisis” and others can’t.
So Durbin etc hate and distrust white collar execs of major oil companies more than they hate and distrust Iran and Venezuela...
Chicago and corruption in Illinois.
Dick knows all about making deals with the devil when he flipped from pro-life to pro-abortion.
In Ill-Annoy we refer to Dick as a “Sack of Durbin”.
Too many corrupt and stupid people are in position of power.
Hey Dickie, to heck with the devil. Let’s do business with the USA!!!
Limpdick Durbin has lost his mind like Low IQ Biden.
FDD !
How about doing business with Bakken, Dickhead Turbin?
He is ok with pharma making big profits and 100% immunity
Russia produced about 13% of the yearly production of world oil. Oil is fungible. If it is not sold to the USA and or Europe it will still be sold on the world market at its value. Not importing oil from Russia means nothing at all. It will still be sold on the world market. The only thing that will change is were the Russian tankers go to sell their oil and were Saudi tankers go to replace such. It is all the same.
What does make a difference is total world production to drive down prices and thus starve the Russian economy. We can do this by unlimited exploration and production and pressure on Saudi and Gulf States to increase production. President Reagan did this and due to price of oil the USSR economy collapsed as did the old Soviet Union.
Biden has asked Saudi and the Gulf States to increase production, and they refused. They see Biden as a weak and feckless leader. Biden has crippled our oil industry at home thus why should Saudi increase production?
What would have Trump done?
1. Drill and increase oil production.
2. Tell Saudi and the Gulf States to do the same or you will not get all those spare parts and training of your pilots that fly those F-16s and F-15s etc. In effect your Air Force ceases to exist without spare parts, ordinance, technical assistance and training. Said same would apply to their Air Defense systems and Army. They would see the wisdom of increasing oil production.
Then Russia collapses economically again as did the old USSR.
Venezuela, thanks to its miracle socialist government, no longer has the working infrastructure to produce the volume of oil needed.
Democrat leader Durbin: ‘Doing Business with the Devil’ in Iran, Venezuela ‘for a Few Days’ Could ‘Help’ on Oil - Must Ensure Oil Industry Doesn’t Profiteer
Durbin is insane AND stupid: Iran & Venezuela hate the U.S. AND are major allies of Russia!
