Biden says drivers will pay more for gas 'as long as it takes' to counter Russia
Washington Examiner ^ | June 30, 2022 | Breanne Deppisch

President Joe Biden said Thursday that U.S. drivers will continue to pay record-high gas prices for “as long as it takes” to stop Russia’s war in Ukraine, acknowledging that consumers are unlikely to see relief at the pump anytime soon.

During a press conference Thursday following the NATO summit in Spain, Biden was asked how long people should expect to pay gas premiums because of Vladimir Putin’s war.

“As long as it takes,” Biden said, "so that Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine.”

“This is a critical, critical position for the world," he added.

Dementia Joe, no one needs to believe you or should in this, your latest lie. We can bring down gas prices decisively and cripple the Russians financed financially in the war simply by opening up our own production, something you have absolutely refused to do and instead done your best to shut down. Of course the greatest favor you could do for all of us would be to find the newer nearest toilet and flush yourself down it, never to return.

And they are willing to pay twice as much if a tranny bill of rights is included. Political genius that Biden

Biden just put his foot in his mouth again and made “Putin’s price hike” his own, by his own choices. Thank you Lord for this gift ahead of the elections.

Absurd...No reason our country can’t go full steam ahead...except you shut everything down. Maybe the EPA ruling will loosen things up.

Right now Biden is walking us into World War III. If he knew just a little about the history of World War I, the worst catastrophe Western civilization has ever suffered, he’d know enough to do whatever is necessary to bring this horrible war to an end.

So Putin hates selling oil at such high prices? What am I missing here?

Maybe, just maybe some of them are getting the idea that the longer the Ukraine war drags on the closer we get to a nuclear holocaust that will make the horrors of World War I look like a walk in the woods.

Russia’s got nothing to do with it, Joetard. You don’t know much anymore but you do know that.

I’m more suspicious than many. Is it possible that the President thinks that, if he jacks gas prices up enough, we will beg him to go to war with Russia?
