The U.S. Department of the Treasury has issued general licenses (GL) for carrying out transactions for the supply of crude oil from Russia to Japan, Bulgaria, Croatia, and EU countries, which do not include states that border the sea, the agency reported on Nov. 22. In effect, these licenses pro-vide a limited legal method to bypass the current oil-related sanctions measures on Russia.

Mighty white of ‘em.
Translation: we’re going to hurt ourselves with these sanctions.
Only because they knew that they couldn’t do anything about it.

This is really something. We are now giving Bulgaria permission to buy Russian oil. Who do we think we are? Is Bulgaria now a US territory? I guess I missed that on the nightly news.
It’s a miracle these countries don’t tell us to go to hell.
WTF? We get to tell other countries where they get their energy from? Wow.
What this means is these countries won’t be getting a “strongly worded letter” put into their “permanent records”
The war is a farce. Slow Joe winks at the Russians while sending Ukrainians to the slaughter.
Russia is getting rich on oil, and Joe is getting his ten percent.
I hope they are grateful we are letting them have any Russian oil!
“U.S. authorizes transactions for Russian oil supplies to Japan, several EU countries”
Mighty big of us.
We started hurting ourselves a long time ago when we voted for Brandon.
Sheesh don’t you recognize that we have an anti American, anti-MAGA leader in charge of our country? You will know the moment we fall into the democrat-dug abyss.
Been there, I live in Vermont.
I’m not sure that’s how it happened.
Did Xi give him permission.
I don’t understand. Why does the US Department of Treasury have authority to grant licenses for trade between two other countries , not the US????
