A Republican senator has introduced a bill that would ban Russian oil imports to the U.S.
Sen. Roger Marshall introduced the bill, which also would ban the import of the Kremlin’s petroleum products, with the support of at least eight other Republicans, including Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, the ranking Energy Committee member.
“First and foremost, President Biden needs to restart America’s energy production and quit funding Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine by continuing to purchase crude oil from Russia,” Mr. Marshall told Fox News Digital about his bill.
The bill was introduced Tuesday afternoon, a few hours before President Biden, who has refused to target Russia’s energy sector with sanctions, was set to give his State of the Union address to Congress.
At least one NATO nation has banned oil imports from Russia, Canada having announced that step Monday. --->READ MORE HERE

Think about the madness of this… Joe Biden is running around trying to look tough, hitting Russia with sanctions over Vladimir Putin’s obscene invasion of Ukraine. But at the same time, we pay Russia in the vicinity of $70 million per day for oil imports.
In other words, during these seven days of Putin’s criminal war against Ukraine, we’ve sent this same Putin during those same seven days close to a half-billion dollars!
What the hell is going on?
On the one hand, Biden claims to be crippling Vlad with sanctions, while on the other hand, we’re slipping him $70 million PER DAY!
This is nuts. But it’s true…
“In 2021, the U.S. imported an average of 209,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and 500,000 bpd of other petroleum products from Russia.”
And last I checked, oil is currently valued at $106 per barrel, and one of the reasons oil is so high is the war in Ukraine, so…. So Vlad is making more money on his oil by waging his war with a peaceful neighbor!
How great is that?
What a sweet racket, eh? --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
