Do you own an electric car? Guess you want to park the car then? Can’t just stop the oil, by snapping your finger.

Purchases from Russia rose 24% in 2021 vs 2020.

Biden is releasing 30 million barrels. Why is he not banning imports from Russia for 1.5 months, then? Under Biden, we buy roughly 20 million Russian barrels/month. The release offsets purchasing for 1.5 months.

Totally self inflicted policy by those who benefited from the election cheating. The poor are the hardest hit by those claiming to be for the poor.

They froze my Russian Gazprom stocks .. I bought when it crashed because I know they wont ban their gas..

Makes no sense to not ban their oil but ban their stock. Until the do that , I am not taking any of their sanctions serious.

We "doubled our imports" from Russia as compared to the height of the COVID crash? Shocker.

We get ~8% of our petroleum products from Russia. You want immediately higher gas prices? Stop importing from Russia tomorrow.

These sorts of transitions take time.

Plus, are you actually advocating for INCREASED Federal influence over a private business sector?

We have been buying oil from Russia since 1995. We should stop it now and forever but to say that during Trump we did not buy oil from Russia is a lie.
