On thought is:shouldn't we stop buying Ruskie oil and ol dementia start producing again? Oh, and get the Germans to stop buying it as well?

Russia can’t afford to cut off Europe and the US.On thought is:
A.) we stop buying
B.) Russia cuts off Europe in retaliation
C.) How strong really is our alliance with those now freezing whilst Suburban Suzy complains online about $6 gas in her SUV
Don’t you make this complicated. AY has all the angles covered with no room for argument.On thought is:

We don't really buy Russian oil. We are oil independent. The only time we DO buy foreign oil is to blend it with our light sweet crude. The reason you do that is because we built, re-built, upgraded refineries to handle heavy sour crudes like Mexican, Venezuelan, Brazilian, etc. Many refineries just won't handle a total slate of light sweet crude. You don't have a choice unless you want to spend say a $1 billion dollars over say 2 years to fully convert to a 100% light slate. Just won't happen. OH, and we aren't buying Venezuelan either.shouldn't we stop buying Ruskie oil and ol dementia start producing again? Oh, and get the Germans to stop buying it as well?

The Russian army is a joke. 1 year conscripts (really BAD idea). Broken down trucks, howitzers, and tanks along the road (what the hell have they been doing with regard to maintenance and preparedness?).I will say I would love to see a squadron of A10s eliminate the 40 mile long column of vehicles moving towards Kiev.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpt
As bad as the plan was in Iraq in 2003 (storm the country, disarm the military, then….hell, we’ll figure it out), this is exponentially worse. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is becoming really dangerous for Russia because it’s proving that they are incompetent at ground combat and their Air Force is fourth rate. He’s rattling the nuclear saber because it’s all he has at this point.The Russian army is a joke. 1 year conscripts (really BAD idea).

And 40 mile long columns, BUMPER TO BUMPER. A-10's, F-16's, even F-35's would have a field day providing close air support.
Son...Russians don't take a dump without a (BAD) plan.
Right…. as if Trump wouldn’t give the “genius” Putin a blowie. Silly post.I feel like if this clip ended with “and Rohan will sanction Mordor” it pretty much sum up Biden
The derangement syndrome is strong with this one.Right…. as if Trump wouldn’t give the “genius” Putin a blowie. Silly post.
We don't really buy Russian oil.
I agree. USA does not get into another war. The Russians aren't coming here. We found out before when we try to help out a nation in war we can't get out for decades perhaps. We have a lot of stimulus checks to pay for....Sanctions are going to have to work.I think BDB summed up my thoughts. You stop buying oil from Russia they fade away. I realize that can't happen over night but we have to start moving in that direction. Force a change in leadership economically and then you can start buying again from the next guy, hopefully.
Agree completely. Putin is alleging that everything we do (i.e., sending military aid, humanitarian aid, applying economic sanctions, etc.) is an act of aggression. Then after accusing us of being aggressive, he not so subtly threatens us with nuclear weapons. He cannot keep using the nuclear option to get his way. Otherwise, let's just lay down our arms now and invite him to take the whole world.Actively. This is horseshit.
Just my opinion, fire away.
We don't have to have it. If you're a buyer for refinery or petrochem plant and they have a deal, you buy it. Capitalism. And we export a lot of oil now too.
Looks like we were importing ~20mm bbls/mo in 2021.
Right…. as if Trump wouldn’t give the “genius” Putin a blowie. Silly post.
Hey, I read one yesterday with the premise, “wouldn’t a small scale nuclear war help against global warming?”Some of you really want to see all out nuclear war and that’s pretty scary to me.
so him potentially taking Ukraine is the same as invafingHe cannot keep using the nuclear option to get his way. Otherwise, let's just lay down our arms now and invite him to take the whole world.
Did we have Ukraine? How would we be losing it exactly?so we have to act now or forever lose Ukraine
It’s always been a good idea to send American kids to die when fighting Communists and you have a doddering old fool in the Oval Office.Rohan will send three wagons of swords and 100 old horses! Take that Souron!
Right? We just watched the Taliban stomp on Bidens dick on the way out of the last country we liberated. What kind of outcome do we expect if we dive in here?We are doing the right thing now. We finally just got out of war that cost $2.3 trillion and thousand of American lives to accomplished what?
