When Russia invaded Ukraine the biggest question was, why didn’t Biden put a halt to Russian oil imports? Russia’s only source of income is energy exports and if he can’t sell oil, he can’t fund his war. It seemed to make sense but suddenly democrats are supporting the idea of cutting off Russian oil imports. Conventional wisdom says if democrats are behind something, it’s wrong and stupid.
After Biden had refused to consider sanctioning Russian energy production, House Speaker broke with the illegitimate president late last week. When asked if we should stop buying oil from Russia, Pelosi replied, “I’m all for that… ban the oil coming from Russia.”
And with that, the collective hive-mind of the democratic party was activated:
The only reason the Biden Administration won’t ban Russian oil is to prevent costs on Americans. We can solve that problem by lowering costs for Americans. We should combine a ban on Russian oil with significant elements of the #BuildBackBetter bill. https://t.co/cH8GGUhmxI

I support banning Russian oil and gas sales to the U.S.
Putin may find other buyers for what he’s selling.
But we are putting crippling sanctions on Russia over its brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Here’s a crazy idea that’s *Not Safe For Twitter* but can’t we simultaneously cut off U.S. oil imports from Russia, temporarily increase oil imports/production, and massively accelerate renewable investments? I know Twitter only wants binary options. I only want to stop Putin.

If Lieu, Schiff, and Swalwell support something, it has to be the wrong thing to do. These 3 ass clowns haven’t been on the right side of anything, nor have they ever had a good idea.
Cutting off Putin’s ability to wage war makes sense so how can it be wrong? Well, maybe Elizabeth Warren accidentally gave up the democrats’ game here:
Russia’s whole economy depends on oil and gas exports. So the more the world relies on fossil fuels, the more power we put in the hands of Putin.
We need more clean energy for the sake of our planet and for the sake of democracy and freedom around the globe.

See, the idea here is to drive up the price of energy to the point where people have no choice but to buy into the liberal “clean energy” Green New Deal socialist bullshit. This entire episode was by design.
Biden did nothing to stop Putin from invading Ukraine and even encouraged him to do so because he (his handlers) knew it would drive up the price of oil, which was already too damn high. Biden also cut American energy independence, making us reliant on Russia and other hostile countries for oil. If the democrats can get the price of gasoline near $10 a gallon, they hope people will say, “F*ck it, let’s get rid of gas powered engines, coal and diesel electric plants, and give that wind farm thing a chance.”
What democrats haven’t factored into this plan, because they’re morons, is that nobody is going to vote for them if gas costs even $7 a gallon. This raging inflation and unaffordable gasoline means they’re all getting kicked out of office in the midterms and the 2024 election.
