I have heard different numbers on the amount of oil the once oil rich oil exporting USA is buying from Russia on a monthly basis. The amount is probably enough to pay for Putin conquest of the Ukraine IMO. If the USA and this administration were serious about hurting and fighting back at Russia do you honestly believe they would continue buy oil from Russia..?
We were buying 500,000 barrels a day but that figure is now 670,000 a day. With the price of oil hitting $111 yesterday up from $107 you gotta figure Russia can not be motivated to stop stirring his pot of gold/oil anytime soon.

670 000 barrels times 111 dollars per barrel works out to 74.37 million dollars. Per day. 74 million dollars will buy a lot of bullets in a day's time. Since Biden's weak ass won't halt the money flow to Russia, some oil companies, among them Exxon and Shell, have stepped into the breach and stopped doing business with Russia.
Leave it to our oligarchs to get their oligarchs in line, since our government refuses to get their government in line.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

maybe $200 a barrel if the USA stops buying from Russia.
