Russia only provides 7% of our crude

but more refined products like kerosene. Canada provides the majority of our imports like 50% Then Mexico and just last year Russia crept into third usually Saudi Arabia spot And South America right there. So if you want to talk crude Russia is small player for US. With 100$ barrel oil there will be pressure to start drilling again. The keystone pipeline would not be ready today even if approved Biden not problem its structural we consume ton oil per capita. Demand is issue My problem is why we arent helping an existing democracy when we spent 20 years promoting democracy that never took in afghanistan. Putin is a bully who only understands force My solution Get Red Cross more help with UN peace keepers and air support If we dont stop Putin now we pay more later. Sometimes you have to scrap the playbook.
