It's the easiest thing in the world: Cut off Russia's oil earnings and watch the war in Ukraine collapse.
A U.S. oil embargo on Russia would destroy its cash stream which is financing 30% of its government, including its attack on Ukraine.
In war, at least one you want to win, you cut off supply lines. Grant and Sherman understood this. But General Biden is a little different. He wants to keep Putin getting that money until Bad America reforms to a green energy system to his liking. He has a live war in front of him, he has the solution on the table and instead of taking that solution, he sticks to his green energy "priority."
Here's how bad it's gotten:
Transferring the entire economy to unreliable green energy, number one, is never going to happen. Scott Johnson at Power Line explained that out very clearly in 2020: It won't happen because there aren't enough rare earth minerals out there to create all the batteries and greenie retrofits, even if China would gladly sell to us, to get the job done.
The Bidenites though, are sticking to their pie in the sky green energy dream even if it means continuing to bankroll Putin's war. Psaki even called the whole idea of opening up America's domestic energy production to make our country energy-independent, a "misdiagnosis."
Other Democrats yakked about opening the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which Joe has done before. How'd that work out for him?
No, the fact is, just talk about restoring America's energy independence, first achieved by President Trump, from some clown like Joe Biden ought to be enough to shift market sentiment out of Putin's column and drain his bank book. Markets are anticipatory and this kind of talk would cause a fall in global energy prices.

If Joe opened up US drilling, the ‘wrong’ people would benefit. So he wont do it. He needs his 10%.
<< It’s the easiest thing in the world: Cut off Russia’s oil earnings and watch the war in Ukraine collapse. >>
I’m guessing China already agreed to buy what the West won’t.
Biden is true to his campaign promise of opening the illegal immigration spigot and shutting down the energy spigot. In that warped sense, he has been “successful”
Notice that the Greens are not asking for Russian oil to be cut off and using this as a reason to get off of oil! The NEVER let an emergency go to waste party seems to be missing the opportunity for some reason, MMMMMMM! Guess the Greens are really just Commies who want to hurt the West and help mother Russia.
Breaking America is what the Kenyanesian Usurpation Part Two is all about.
Biden is true to his campaign promise of opening the illegal immigration spigot

Getting the Bush Plan for North Mexico back on track is why BOTH parties colluded to cheat Trump out.
He was always stupid, and being both co-opted by the enviro-whackos and suffering from dementia isn’t making it any better.
Anyone can see that drilling more oil and NG domestically will be both beneficial for this country and harm Russia’s economy. What is the stupid git waiting for?
The democrat party has used that motto for years and few caught on to it.
To me this is the biggest no brained in the world. Maybe that is why it is so hard for Biden. Suppling our own oil we increase our national security, increase our economic stability, and produce jobs. I guess Biden feels it is better to fund Putin and his wars? We have increased Russian imports by 100%, going from 4% of our oil needs to 8% of our oil needs under Biden. Twice the n the last year Biden has gone too Saudi Abia and asked them to increase production and the Saudis have told Biden to pound sand.
RE: To me this is the biggest no brained in the world.
To idiots like Biden, AOC and John Kerry, not drilling for your is a necessary sacrifice to make to save civilization from climate armageddon, and we barely have 10 years to achieve this.
If you want to understand their mentality, this is it.
The amazing things the idiots don’t realize is we will burn the oil wether we produce it or Russia produces it.
We might be dumping Russian vodka, but we are still getting Russian oil. Even more ridiculous is John Kerry lamenting that climate change is being forgotten during this Ukrainian war. Kerry should get a clue as more people are dead this week in Ukraine than ever will die of climate change.
Biden’s State of the Union speech will be a total joke if he can even muddle through reading it. We have the power to cripple Russia if we would just change our energy policy, but it won’t happen under Biden. By midsummer gasoline will be averaging over $4 per gallon and creeping even higher toward the elections.
