Why We Import So Much Oil From Russia

Last year was the first year of the misbegotten Biden Administration. The lefty propagandists at PolitiFact grudgingly admit that during 2021, US imports of Russia oil doubled.

The following from moonbattery.com.

Even Democrat Joe Manchin describes it as “hypocritical” and “senseless” that despite all his phony bluster, Biden refuses to stop importing vast quantities of oil from Russia. Let’s have Kamala “Heartbeat Away” Harris explain why this continues:



We won’t get anything but duckspeak from Kamala. Good thing it isn’t hard to figure out the reason for ourselves.

🙶 Democrats’ ideological hostility toward the US energy industry has not relented. But there will be many unpleasant political consequences for them if the lights start going out. Depleting our emergency reserves won’t suffice. Still less will solar panels and wind turbines, which are only effective for laundering taxpayer money to pay off campaign donors a' la Obama.

Biden et al. faced a choice between buying Russian oil and letting Americans produce our own. As always, they decided in favor of the malevolent left.
Kamala Harris was asked why the United States continues to buy oil from Russia, her answer is even more incoherent than one can imagine...

”Well, as you know, on this issue, for example, we applaud Germany in terms in what it has done in terms of Nordstream 2. As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the President said, re-evaluated what we're doing in terms of the strategic oil reserves here in the United States to make sure it will not have an impact, or we can mitigate the impact on the American consumer.”

That was a giant run-on sentence that said absolutely nothing. Just word salad from Harris, but it got even worse...

”Let's take this one step at a time. Understanding that right now on the issue of energy, our allies have stood firm and unified in a way that many of the pundits didn't predict would happen, to ensure that we are unified in our approach to this issue.”

Whatever the future outcome, the price of oil and gas will never be the fault or result of Biden's weakness, it will forever be because of Russia and the Ukraine invasion. This narrative will ultimately be used for the entire four years of the Biden/Harris term, and the media will be more than happy to continue this lie.

And lastly...What could Putin possibly have on Biden that would make Joe keep buying Russian Oil?

President Trump – Democrats “Declared the Global
Warming Hoax as the #1 Threat to Global Security”

President Trump released a statement noting that the Democrats’ focus on climate change and not Russia is one reason Russia invaded Ukraine. Now the world is dependent on Russian oil and the costs for gas in the US are up nearly 50% from last year.

This from gatewaypundit.com.

President Trump shared:

🙶 The RINOs, Warmongers, and Fake News continue to blatantly lie and misrepresent my remarks on Putin because they know this terrible war being waged against Ukraine would have never happened under my watch. They did absolutely nothing as Putin declared much of Ukraine an “independent territory.” There should be no war waging now in Ukraine, and it is terrible for humanity that Biden, NATO, and the West have failed so terribly in allowing it to start.

Instead of showing strength and toughness, they declared the Global Warming Hoax as the #1 threat to global security, killed American Energy Independence, and then made Europe, the U.S., and the rest of the World dependent on Russian oil. They laid down the welcome mat and gave Russia the opening, now Putin may be getting everything he wanted, with Ukraine and the rest of the World suffering the consequences. It’s terrible, but this is what you get with Biden, the Democrats, and RINO warmongers!

By focusing on global warming, gas prices are way up in the US as well as inflation. Russia is making lots of money on its oil and gas products. Ukraine is being invaded by Russia.
President Trump has an amazingly accurate record of predictions. A large reason for that is because he tells the truth and does not have an alternative motive for power and money, just America first.

The Biden administration on day one, blocked American pipelines and drilling, but gave a greenlight to the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline; he emboldened Putin and crushed our energy independence. It has never been clearer that robust American energy production is essential to our economic and national security and to combatting our enemies. As a result of Biden's moves the cost of gas, food, durable goods, almost everything has skyrocketed. The Biden Administration failed the world both in Afghanistan and in Ukraine along with the American people.

Democrats claim they want to save the planet and cure cancer but their record of accomplishing anything positive, is the opposite. And another question for Biden, does imported oil cause less “climate change” than oil produced here in the US?
