SEN HAWLEY SAYS WE SHOULD HALT RUSSIAN OIL - JOE BIDEN SAYS, FOLKS, I'VE FUCKED UP THE PIPELINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE I'VE DONE. NEED TO GO KISS PUTIN'S WRETCHED ASS
Sen. Hawley: ‘Yeah,’ We Should Prohibit Petroleum Imports From Russia
(CNSNews.com) -- When asked if the United States should prohibit petroleum imports from Russia Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said, “I don’t think that we ought to be importing 600-some thousand, 670-plus thousand barrels of oil every day from Russia when we could turn on our own energy production.”
At the Capitol on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked Sen. Hawley, “Should the United States prohibit petroleum imports from Russia?”
The senator said, “Yeah, yeah, we should, I mean, I don’t think that we ought to be importing 600-some thousand, 670-plus thousand barrels of oil every day from Russia when we could turn on our own energy production.”
“So, we ought to turn on our energy production, we ought to sanction their oil sector, and all of it, oil and gas, the whole energy sector,” said Hawley. That would be something that would be, I think, really powerful in this fight to stand with the people of Ukraine and also get our own energy independence.”
Russia is one of the top crude oil and petroleum exporters globally.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2020 Russia was the second largest net exporter of crude oil and petroleum products to the United States, sending, on average, 540,000 barrels daily to this country. In 2021, it averaged 670,000 barrels per day in exports to the United States. The highest month in 2020 was October with 660,000 barrels. In 2021 it was May with 847,000 barrels.

Canada had the highest export rate to the United States in 2020 with 3,193,000 barrels of petroleum, while Iraq was in fifth place with 176,000 barrels, and Guyana was in tenth place with 27,000 barrels, according to the EIA.
The United States trade deficit with Russia in 2021, reported by the Census Bureau, was the second largest at $23,306,800,000 compared to 2011 which was $26,300,600,000. The number one import from Russia to the United States in 2021 was fuel oil at $10,265,587, 048 and the second was crude oil at $4,714, 801, 618.
With President Joe Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office, the United States is no longer energy independent. Rather, it relies upon other countries for energy resources such as gas and oil.
The effect of the pipeline removal has led to higher gas prices and, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to The Hill, there is concern for how the U.S. economy will be impacted with a higher increase in gas prices as well as other energy sources, food prices, travel costs, and the stock market.

At the Capitol on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked Sen. Blunt, “Should the United States prohibit petroleum imports from Russia and if not why not?”
The senator said, “Well, certainly I think we should be as energy independent as we can be. Right now, every inclination would be to be as tough on Russia as we should be. I don’t think we should have to import petroleum from Russia and this would be a good time to test that.”

Poll: Majority Say Joe Biden’s Response to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Ineffective
Most voters believe President Joe Biden’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been relatively ineffective, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found.
The survey, which asked respondents, “How effective has President Joe Biden’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine been so far?” found a majority, 54 percent, deeming the president’s response ineffective. Of those, 30 percent said his response is “not at all effective,” followed by 24 percent who said “not very effective.”
Both Republicans and independents, 73 percent and 63 percent, respectively, say Biden’s response has not been effective, but most Democrats, 65 percent, believe it has been:
There is little disagreement along party lines on whether economic sanctions will stop the Russian invasion – less than 30% of all categories think sanctions will be enough. Majorities of every category – 84% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats and 77% of unaffiliated voters – also agree that a successful Russian conquest of Ukraine would likely encourage China to invade Taiwan.
The survey, taken Match 1-2, 2022, among 1,000 likely voters, has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
Biden spoke about the crisis across the globe at length in Tuesday’s State of the Union speech, mistakenly referring to Ukrainians as “Iranians.”
“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” Biden said during the live address. “..[W]e, the United States of America, stand with the Ukrainian people,” he continued, while touting “powerful economic sanctions” against Russia.
“Tonight, I say to the Russian oligarchs and the corrupt leaders who bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: no more,” Biden declared.
Critics, however, have blasted Biden for failing to hit Vladimir Putin where it really hurts: the gas pump.
“This is a guy who’s basically an authoritarian gas station attendant, ok, with some legacy nuclear weapons from the old Soviet Union,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said of Putin during a press conference this week.
“Their whole society is hollowed out except for that energy. And so if you want to hit them, hit them at the gas pump. Hit them with energy,” DeSantis said, noting that Biden stripped America of its status of being energy-independent, worsening the issue and creating dependency on “rogue parts of the world.”
“[Biden] has stepped on the next of our domestic energy here in the United States. We should have Keystone reactivated in the United States. He should get rid of the ban on producing in federal lands, and he should welcome more domestic energy production. We were before Biden took office, for the first time in any of our lifetimes, actually energy independent. Putin didn’t matter,” DeSantis said, adding that the U.S. is now “importing millions of barrels of oil from Russia.”
“My feeling is they haven’t done enough —Europe or Biden’s administration — to really hit Putin where it counts, and that’s because they have been so weak on domestic energy,” he added.
During the SOTU, Biden announced the U.S. worked with dozens of other countries “to release 60 million barrels of oil from reserves around the world,” and added that 30 million of those would come from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. However, he made no mention of drastically shifting gears and changing his domestic policies to make energy independence a reality for America once more.
Sen. Cramer: U.S. Should ‘Choke Off’ Petroleum Imports From Russia
(CNSNews.com) -- When asked if the United States should prohibit petroleum imports from Russia and if not why not, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N. Dak.) said, “Yeah, they should. They should prohibit them certainly to the United States, and beyond that we ought to sanction all of them, everything, their entire oil and gas industry.”
At the Capitol on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked Sen. Cramer, “Should the United States prohibit petroleum imports from Russia and if not why not?”
The senator said, “Yes, yeah, they should. They should prohibit them certainly to the United States, and beyond that we ought to sanction all of them, everything, their entire oil and gas industry. Just choke it off, and we ought to be replacing it with allies and American energy, absolutely.”
