Russians hit nitric acid storage tank - will this trigger Biden's response in kind?

[jknowgood]

Yep, Biden is paid by Russia, so he lifted sanctions on Russia. There are no American sanctions on Russia and you've heard it here first, from our very own special person jknowgood.

Trump had sanctions on Russia. Biden gets in and does away with them. Then waits to after the invasion to put a few back.

What sanctions silly?

The Nord stream II to Germany? The same Nord stream II project that Biden threatened Putin with permanent cancel if he invaded? The same Nord Stream II that WAS in fact cancelled when Putin invaded?

Here is the list of crippling sanctions Biden's administration imposed on Russia so far:

Where are we getting the oil then? Saudi Arabia won't answer his calls.

Hey bullshit peddler, we don't buy oil from China.

Our oil imports:

52% Canada.
11% Mexico.
11% OPEC nations.
7% Saudi Arabia

At a glance: Where does the US get its oil?

About 8% of all U.S. petroleum products, which includes crude oil, come from Russia. So from where does the U.S. source the rest of its oil?

Lol, Biden said the United States wouldn't buy oil from Russia. But we are probably through China. Europe is still buying their energy from russia. Also Putin isn't accepting the dollar anymore. He accepts rubles or gold. China is also ending taking the dollar, so is India. Nothing like letting our enemies destroy us from within.

That is not true...Russia is still selling oil and gas all over the world including here....

Bullshit. Biden executive order made it ILLEGAL to import Russian oil, gas and coal(with 45 day contract wind-down grace period).

Biden announces Russian oil import ban and warns gas prices could increase even more

President Biden described the move as a critical step to punishing Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, but said as a result, Americans should prepare for price hikes at the pump.

Why do you keep mindlessly repeating all these blatant counter factuals? Just because something is convinient for you to say does not make it true dumbass.

It hasn't been 45 days yet and some companies are requesting more time....

Are you seriously so desperate that you are going nitpick that???

Russian energy imports have been banned in US. The fact that we give our companies 45 to wind down existing contracts DOES NOT CHANGE THAT FACT

President Biden said back in March that the US response to Russia’s potential use of chemical weapons would "trigger a response in kind." Well they just struck a nitric acid storage tank, releasing toxic gas into the surrounding area.



"Russian troops appear to have hit a nitric acid tank in Ukraine, according to a statement made by Luhansk regional administrator Serhiy Haidai on Telegram.

Haidai warned that Russian forces hit the tank in Rubizhne, a city in the Luhansk Oblast, and called for residents to remain hidden in bomb shelters.

"Do not come out of hiding! If you are indoors - close the doors and windows!" he wrote on Telegram.

He then went on to explain the dangerous effect of nitric acid on people. "Nitric acid is dangerous if inhaled, swallowed and in contact with skin," he wrote."

Btw China is so far not signing new contracts for Russian energy:

Exclusive: China state refiners shun new Russian oil trades, teapots fly under radar

China's state refiners are honouring existing Russian oil contracts but avoiding new ones despite steep discounts, heeding Beijing's call for caution as western sanctions mount against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, six people told Reuters.

Clearly they are concerned about the blowback from US and EU for helping Russia bypass sanctions.
