To stop Russia, it might take some outside help. Putin will sacrifice it all to thr last man to get what he wants. Economic sanctions won't stop Russia. Only brute force will do that.
He hasn't done anything to restrict it, so it's kind of implied.
There have been no rules that have stopped production that already was happening, nor that was going to happen. (And so I don't have to respond later, Keystone was Canadian Oil destined for export to non-US markets, so it would not have made an impact.)
His very first day in office he put a moratorium on new oil leases on federal lands including in offshore waters in the Gulf. Being from Louisiana we here have been VERY familiar with Brandon's attacks on American oil and gas from the moment he took office. Obama was the same about oil and gas as well as coal mining. The Supreme Court, thanks to judges appointed by Trump, initially overturned the ban on oil drilling but Sleepy Joe attacked it from another angle and now there is a new ban on place on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and offshore waters.
I live in the heart of the U.S. oil industry I know these issues very well I have a lot of friends who work in the plants and pipelines. Biden has been attacking Louisiana's economy since the day took office. He's also restarted the war on coal against West Virginia and Kentucky as well.

Trump was trying to continue expanding drilling offshore. This article clearly highlights the effects of Biden's policies on American workers in my state. Now this has also weakened us globally. If new leases were approved we would be expanding domestic oil and gas production and less concerned about global supplies. Remember that under Trump we were a net exporter of oil and now we 're a net importer again. I think Biden wants high prices because in his words we can just avoid them by "buying electric cars".
I believe in the free market over government bureaucrats. If "renewables" were so great then they would survive without government subsidies and bull crap like using our tax money to build electric charging stations in the infrastructure bill.
I love the idea of banning Russian oil to the USA. Russia deserves better customers in my opinion. All Americans do is to whine, and whine. Always looking for something and someone external to blame for their own ineptitude. Bunch of weenies. Go Russia ! get millions of rubles.
Really? Name one terrorist attack against US, or Europe for that matter, that was carried out by Iran or its proxies.
I see that as an absurd question, seeing as how Iran is
recognized to be the world's leading sponsor of terrorism.
Start with the Beirut Marine Barracks bombing.
How did you feel when Iran held hundreds of Americans prisoner in the US Embassy?
