Make no sense if you really want to put pressure on Putin....and increasing our production by 3 million barrels a day would be even better. Joe can't do it though because the Greenies would go bonkers. "Let the middle class (hurt by high oil prices) eat cake". What happened to "Middle Class Joe".
So much for stopping the spread of misinformation.
We don't want to drill in the US, so we buy from Russia, and Dem supporters just spread misinformation about. Even Pelosi said it should be banned. But, Biden was ushered out by his handlers yelling at him so he could avoid answering the question. Very bizarre to see the President handled like that (actually, "hear" the president handled like that...heard it on the radio at lunch).
also, the Biden admin has not taken such an action off the table...
The remedy to all this is the removal of Putin...and that's going to take time...there is no "quick fix".

"...the Biden admin has not taken such an action off the table..."...it's a complex issue and not one to be taken haphazardly.
btw, if you have access to the WSJ website, there's an excellent article on U.S. oil imports from Russia...I no longer subscribe and got timed out before finishing...what I did see was very informative...lots to do with the "piping" here in the U.S. (nothing to do with Keystone XL) and why it's cheaper for oil companies on the East Coast to work with Russia.
Real reason: Old Joe is more interested in his left wing agenda than doing the right thing.
Brilliant!
