Gee, What Could Putin Possibly Have on Biden That Would Make Joe Keep Buying Russian Oil?

[PJ] In the early days of WWII, as Germany was pounding England in the Blitz, FDR sent supplies to our allies. He gave them U.S. Navy destroyers (small warships especially good for fighting submarines) and eventually dedicated our Atlantic fleet to defending convoys and firing on German U-boats. We were secretly at war with Germany. History refers to it as "belligerent neutrality." U.S. citizens had no idea.

FDR deceived the American people. He campaigned for the 1940 election by saying he would keep the United States out of another European war. Smarter people than I can argue if it was the right thing to do. My point is this: when Hitler was at the pinnacle of his power and military success and was about to break England’s back, FDR did something about it.

Putin has started what some people are referring to as WWIII. Biden’s response has been to join other nations in hitting Putin with some financial sanctions, which have thus far not changed Putin’s game plan.

Biden is also sending, depending on your source, roughly $74 million to Russia EVERY DAY for oil.

Why hit Putin with sanctions if you’re handing him mad stacks for oil? Something is up. Biden could open the Keystone XL pipeline. He could "drill, baby, drill" in the States and tap into what might be billions of barrels of oil, but White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refers to that idea as a "misdiagnosis."

So instead, Biden is helping to pay for Putin’s war.

#1 So much of the current game is deep below the water line. That said the current situation is 1000 times worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis.

#2 Also, no comments by anybody about what the CIA did 5 months ago that freaked the hell out of Putin.

#4 The Biden cartel is just playing the Pakistan model that worked so well for years. Smile, say the 'right' things, and keep dealing with the ~~Taliban~~ Russians.

#5 /\ Yes, the COVID cover has nearly expired. Prolong the current Euro crisis and media cover for as long as possible.

#6 Lots. We are buying much oil from Russia since Biden shut down of our energy independence. Now he's releasing oil from our strategic reserves. He is a threat to our security. An impeachable offense?

Gas prices jumped eleven cents overnight. This is one of the greatest contributors to inflation for the average person.

#7 ...and everything. It all has to be transported. The urban class doesn't even give it a moment's thought. It all 'magically' appears on the shelves and in the stores. The effect compounds through the entire economy.

#8 Yes. Shipped oil is less green. Oil in railroad tank cars is less green than pipeline oil.

More religious thinking, ala COVIDianism.

What's the common denominator? Leftist "thought..."

#9 But, oil in railroad tank cars lines Warren Boofay's and Charlie Mungbreath's pockets. Then they dribble it out to you know who.

#10 What did the CIA do, 3dc?

Dunno. Certainly don't know if it was the CIA or something else. But Putin has been acting strangely lately.

#11 Seems to be a bi-partisan move in Congress to get a veto proof embargo.

#12 I predict: The gummint political complex wants war. The people just saw COVIDmania die without a whimper. The people will decide "no war." The gummint political complex will be flummoxed.
