Sanctions are on Russia oil which will lessen supply and increase price at the pump
Sanctions are on Russia oil which will lessen supply and increase price at the pumpBiden's sanctions have little effect on the price of oil. Oil prices are rising because of the potential for the Russian oil supply to lessen or cease. So, the sanctions are not contributing to inflation.
Biden's sanctions will have little effect on the U.S. economy. The sanctions are, in effect, a financial war of attrition, but it's not a matter of who will suffer the most, as we won't suffer significantly from the sanctions - Russia will.
A little more research on this and I find Wall Street liked the fact that Biden didn’t go all in on sanctionsWall Street seems to like the sanctions. I’m not sure what to make of that.
So, your solution is to sit and do zero? When he invades Poland also do zero?Sometimes there is no “solution” and you have to recognize and accept that.
WTF?So, your solution is to sit and do zero? When he invades Poland also do zero?
Effectively sanctions are doing nothing. I’d lean towards writing Ukraine off but drastically building our forces in surrounding nato countries and make it clear we have a line in the sand.
How about we all agree that Putin is to blame for Putin's choice to invade Ukraine.If you want to blame anyone for his move by Putin, blame Germany-
No. The sanctions are not on Russian oil.Sanctions are on Russia oil which will lessen supply and increase price at the pump
As we have lost much of our influence in the Middle East as Russia has expanded greatly (Thanks Donny, you ****in idiot) , we had better hope he does not influence other large supplies. I hear Venezuela is also a large supplier. Are we friendly with them, maybe?Sanctions didn’t stop Putin and historically have a very poor record of success so I have to wonder if imposing them on Russia is cutting off our nose to spite our face. Gas is already high and will go higher which will drag down our economy and make inflation even worse and the Dow is crashing.
Can someone tell me exactly why these Biden sanctions are going to do anything but hurt us as much or more than they hurt Putin?
For once I’m actually indecisive on something and could be swayed either way with the right argument.
My error. I stand correctedNo. The sanctions are not on Russian oil.
Oil Prices Retreat As Biden Leaves Energy Out Of Sanctions Package
Tough oil sanctions would crush Russia and Putin, but Biden and Europe can't use them
Allegedly Russia is sitting on over $650 billion which is not a lot of money once a nation has decided to start a war.Russia has big money problems. These will compound it, we will now wait to see what part China may or may not play.
When “Donny” was president we had energy independence so we didn’t need to suck up to countries that hate us.As we have lost much of our influence in the Middle East as Russia has expanded greatly (Thanks Donny, you ****in idiot) , we had better hope he does not influence other large supplies.

Wops, Putin, as it turns out, seems to have better relationships with all oil rich countries. It's as if he has had a strategy right along, isn't it?

Leaving oil out of sanctions really makes sanctions kind of weak and for looks more than resultsNo. The sanctions are not on Russian oil.

Now we import more than we export. With the Donald the opposite was true.We export oil, we did then, we did before Donny, we export now. Just an FYI.
Good Greif.
Energy was not part of the immediate sanctions specifically to avoid undue burden on U.S. taxpayers.Gas is already high and will go higher

Which way do you ****ing want it? You claim sanctions are bad for the U.S. for energy reasons, but then claim only energy sanctions would hurt Russia.Leaving oil out of sanctions really makes sanctions kind of weak and for looks more than results
Just stating facts. Sanctions historically don’t work and didn’t stop Russia from invading and not sanctioning Russian oil makes our sanctions policy very weak.Which way do you ****ing want it? You claim sanctions are bad for the U.S. for energy reasons, but then claim only energy sanctions would hurt Russia.
Just stop, your efforts to blame Biden and support "no sanctions" against Russian aggression are transparently on display already.
You know that whole energy independence thing was debunked as being misleading and simplistic, right?When “Donny” was president we had energy independence so we didn’t need to suck up to countries that hate us.
You're not stating facts, you already admitted your OP was hastily written and in error. You couldn't even be bothered to educate yourself before making an entire thread on a topic.Just stating facts. Sanctions historically don’t work and didn’t stop Russia from invading and not sanctioning Russian oil makes our sanctions policy very weak.
Wall Street liked the weak sanctions though so that’s good I guess.
Really all we can do.Sanctions didn’t stop Putin and historically have a very poor record of success so I have to wonder if imposing them on Russia is cutting off our nose to spite our face. Gas is already high and will go higher which will drag down our economy and make inflation even worse and the Dow is crashing.

Your original premise is incorrect. Sanctions have worked.Just stating facts. Sanctions historically don’t work and didn’t stop Russia from invading and not sanctioning Russian oil makes our sanctions policy very weak.

I saw that in another thread and it’s a good sign but let’s wait and see if that shock to their economy last. Japan is leaving their facilities in Russia open so apparently they are not onboard with sanctions.Nothing about the sanctions are weak...the Russian currency dropped to a low against the dollar, their markets crashed.
I heard some guy on CNBC today say the war chest should offset sanctions for 3-9 months. But, he might have been guessing for all I know. I spent a little time Googling around to see if I could find estimates of how long the war chest might last. But no luck. Probably too many unknowns for people to make a reasonable estimate at this time.Allegedly Russia is sitting on over $650 billion which is not a lot of money once a nation has decided to start a war.
Yes Reagan beat the USSR economically with economic moves but not necessarily sanctions. My favorite Reagan trick was feeding Russia flawed info on how to make pumping stations for their pipeline which then failed after Russia spent billions on them. Good stuff!Your original premise is incorrect. Sanctions have worked.
They were important enough to Putin to have him order donnie and Flynn to get rid of them
And it was economics that defeated the USSR
Which is really just to say we did somethingReally all we can do.
