🇺🇸 Thank You, President Biden 🇺🇸

US President Joe Biden announced today (03/08/2022) the U.S. will [b]ban all Russian oil imports[/b], toughening the toll on Russia’s economy in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine, but he acknowledged it will bring costs to Americans, particularly at the gas pump.
"We will not be part of subsidizing Putin’s war,” Biden declared, calling the new action a “powerful blow” against Russia's ability to fund the ongoing offensive.

I live in Europe, and I would like to express my gratitude. It's great to know we are not alone in this present darkness.

Thank you, Joe Biden.
Thank you, my American friends.

I kiss you 💋

A couple of the big refiners in the US told the Biden admin, go ahead and buy Russian oil, but we’re not going to refine it. Biden was under extreme pressure, he had to do something.

@jackson55 That's good in a way, but it's also kind of disturbing.

@LordShadowfire Disturbing? Why?

@jackson55 Because foreign policy is dictated by the government not oil oligarchs.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That’s true but foreign policy has little to do with US oil refiners. If they don’t want to refine Russian oil that’s their business.

@jackson55 Actually it is when they try and play at foreign policy like that. Might as well skip the pretense and just make the head of Exxon POTUS if shit like that is tolerated.
