Joe Biden, Russian Oil and America's Shame

 



I watched Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address last night. Yes, unbelievably, I watched the whole speech… hoping.  However, I was disappointed and saddened.

The speech was filled with what I consider to be ‘glittering generalities’ and platitudes, laced with downright misrepresentations. Dare I say lies? Oh, I know he did not write the speech, perhaps didn’t even understand most of it; but I was nonetheless hopeful.

Why did I bother? Well, I was hoping that he would say that the United States would be cutting back or eliminating the purchase of Russian oil. Currently, the U.S. imports approximately twenty million barrels a month from Russia. Nonetheless, in the infinite wisdom of his key advisors, the Russian imports will continue, and the American dollars will be crated on pallets and sent to Russia – in part to finance the atrocities in Ukraine.

Fellow Americans:  When we gas-up our cars, let us hang our heads in shame.
