Biden to announce ban on Russian oil

[MarcATL]

Please stop whining. This thread has exactly nothing to do with Trump, despite how desperately you wish it was.

We're talking about the failure who is our President...

What did he fail at?

Biden Set to Announce Russian Oil Ban Today

Crude oil futures extended gains on the news.

The Biden administration will impose a ban on U.S. imports of Russian energy on Tuesday without the participation of its European allies, according to people familiar with the matter.

The ban will include Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal, according to two people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The decision was made in consultation with European allies, who rely more heavily than the U.S. on Russian energy, another person said.

Russian oil made up about 3% of all the crude shipments that arrived in the U.S. last year, U.S. Energy Information Administration data show. Overall, imports of Russian oil and petroleum products represented about 8% of the U.S. total. U.S. imports of Russian crude in 2022 have dropped to the slowest annual pace since 2017, according to the intelligence firm Kpler.

Actually the UAE can turn on the spigot and produce a lot more than they currently are.

Ain't nothing but a thing.
Saudis can do the same...both are usually buddies.
We need others except for Venezuela to pump some more.
The ethanol is going to be problematic...sugar production was reduced in Brazil last year because of drought and frosts. But it looks good so far for this year. (Not great but good enough)

We can get past this but it's going to require a substantial Republican population in the House and Senate to override the President and filibusters.

As to Brazil, they get almost all of their fertilizer from Russia and Ukraine.

Will the media cover this ?

Is Taiwan Next?

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine makes the frightening possibility of China seizing control of the island more real.

trump gave Syria to Putin.....your history is skewed. trump turned his back on the Kurds. American allies are happy they have a Commander in Chief that they can depend on. Not one that sides with the murderer Putin on the world stage...and threatens to exit NATO.

Whatever you think Trump's political relationship was with Putin, there's still one glaring fact that's staring you in the face:

There was no war in Ukraine, no 7.5% inflation rate, no shortages, no disruptions in the supply lines, gasoline was $2.10 per gallon, and the price of oil was not $128 per barrel.

Now tell me who fucked that up. It sure as hell wasn't Trump.

1. Not in a war
2. An overseas war has inflated gas prices
3. Unemployment is the lowest in years
4. The military is stronger than ever before
5. We're so energy independent that we're able to refuse oil from certain places
6. Biden and the Democrats made it all better.

The same ones that were blasting him for buying oil from russia. Watch
And yes, that is how it works. Thats exactly how hypocrisy works.

But it's not hypocritical at all.

Biden was all but supporting Putin outright by continuing to import oil from Russia. That's deserving of criticism.

Biden also saw fit to limit our own production, which resulted in prices rising. That's deserving of criticism. This bullshit with Russia only exacerbates the already rising prices.

The issues here could've been mitigated from the get-go, except that he decided that our energy needs should be subjected to the whims of foreign governments.

Biden made a bad play, and it's biting him in the ass. You can admit it or not, but Joe Biden lost his re-election bad in the last two weeks...

/———/ Bullshyt, we’re directly affected by The Ukraine war. UE numbers are lower because dem gobs are reopening their state economies, the military wasn’t weak under Trump, we are no longer energy independent thanks to dementia Joe. So stuff it.

Who are we dependent on? Show your work bootlick.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Tine for Biden to stand up and make good decisions.

The dotard has had over a year to make good decisions and is yet to make a single one.

Why would anybody think he was about to start now?

1. Not in a war

Yet we're adversely affected by that war because of Biden's inept decisions...

1. An overseas war has inflated gas prices

Because Joe Biden saw to it that we could not provide for ourselves...

1. Unemployment is the lowest in years

Well, you dismissed that when Trump was in the White House, so there's no real need for anyone to give that any consideration now...

1. The military is stronger than ever before

How do you figure?

1. We're so energy independent that we're able to refuse oil from certain places

Then it should be done. Unfortunately, Biden's dragged his feet for too long that it's effects are a fraction of what they could've been...

1. Biden and the Democrats made it better.

Biden is dry ******* this country up the ass, and idiot democrats are too ******* stupid to ask for some lube...

 

[Canon Shooter]

What did he fail at?

You know, I just don't know that I have the time to list them all.

He turned off "our" pipeline and put the well-being of our country's oil needs in the hands of a murdering thug.

That's a monumental failure, although I'm sure an idiot democrat like yourself would see that as a foreign policy win...

 

[the other mike]

And another thing since we're so concerned about democracy around the world has anyone here been to Yemen lately ?

If this MFer Cellblock2429 isn't the biggest idiot on USMB I don't know who is...

The U.S. is now energy independent

The U.S. produced more petroleum than it consumed in 2020, and the numbers were essentially in balance in 2021.

It’s the right call there is bipartisan support for it and most of the public seems to support it one has to wonder though if he would still do it if this was not the case. Politicians have a habit of only wanting to do the right thing when it’s also the popular thing.

 

[Papageorgio]

Now when this happens, watch the republicans blame biden for higher gas prices

I know it isn't that simple but our oil imports from Russia only amount to 3.5%. The speculators are the ones reaping the profits.

Biden announces ban on Russian oil imports, other energy products

He said Americans would deal "another powerful blow to Putin's war machine."

Yup, we all knew it was coming. Someone needs to stop the 21st century Hitler, named Putin.

Good move by Biden.
