Don't look now but you may be using Russian oil refined in India into gasoline/diesel in your vehicle(s)

India sold $1/2B in petroleum fuel products to the US in November 2022 alone, most of it coming from Russia in the middle of the Ukraine War.

    And just to whom will Biden give the latest relsease of oil form our reserve, not the taxpayer. If the military industrila ocmplesx is willing to let us buy form other counrries and put them out of business, well then, too bad, let them fail, or stand up to the rotten Biden/Soros Gov. for Impact!

    I was uncertain who came first, but I know that both are game, or want to be. Also, isn't there a second South American country that has expressed keen interest in joining the fun. Chile? Argentina? The tipping point can't be far away...
    The fact that the world carries our debt like an albatross around their necks is a real sore spot and has been for some time. History has shown the countries who become the world currency have a lifespan consumate with their ability to dominate trade. Is that us anymore? We buy an awful lot, but what do we export in significant quantities? Besides armaments and debt, that is.

    BRICS: Brazil, Russia, Iran (and now India), China, South Africa, are now more than able to form a coalition to become the worlds new (gold-based) petro-dollar currency.
    It's bad enough being dethroned (and it will be very bad for the US) as the world currency, but if it comes to a shooting war NATO will outnumbered 10-1. BRICS nations might not have the last word in weaponry, but that may not be the deciding factor.
    Why are our overlords so hell-bent on WWIII? (which has already started) What strategic interest does Crimea and Ukraine have to US? None. There is a pile of skeletons in the Ukrainian closet the military/industrial/corporate empire they don't want disclosed. You don't have the be a genius to know that smell is a rat.

    Clearly I meant the Proverbial "we"...
    if any of us were in charge, this would have been settled. Life would be getting back to normal.

    There would be a new reality TV Show:
    Fire Or Hanging... This week Fauci's Fate is decided... Text your choice to...

    LOL

    I noted that in his SOU speech, he is only going to use American-made products in the future. He neglected to say that they would be produced with Russian energy. Traitor Joe has emptied our SPR and given away our weapons (Afghanistan and Eukrane--I saw a report that it will take 18 years to replace the weapons sent to Eukrane), and daily allows China to move on us.

    Ditto. Let the friends of my enemy destroy themselves. Which they are getting closer to doing. Less leftovers for the rest of us to deal with.

    I honestly don't give a ratsass where my gas come from since TraitorJoe shut almost of our production (drilling, transportation and refineries). Now we find out whistles blowers from the US Navy have confirmed that we did indeed blew up Russia's North Stream I & II pipelines last September. An act of war by anyones standard. By this standard, Russia would be perfectly within their rights to destroy some major aspect of our oil infrastructure in retaliation.
    TraitorJoe isn't just bird-brain stupid, he is a Clear and Present Danger to this country in particular and life on earth in general.

    Soros/Clinton Puppet Zelensky was bombing the very regions Russia moved in on.
    Yes, Russia wants the strategic land access to Crimea.
    Yes, the US and UK became Eco-Terrorists in bombing the Russian Pipeline (With a ridiculous lie that Putin did it, when he controls the switch. The obvious truth is this prevents GERMANY from going back on their NATO agreements).

    Russia should be able to sell their oil/gas.
    And we should NOT be supporting the Soros Puppet. B/C Soros has declared he wants to Destroy America...

    And this war is doing just that. Financially. The way Soros likes to destroy things...

    I notice you didn't mention CHINA who has been doing the same thing. To which I say. KUDOS to both. The war is stupid.

    And it would be over if the US wasn't instigating it, and supporting it, and REFUSING to let Zelenski negotiate.

    Not including our DEFAULTING on the Minsk Agreement. And Germany/Merkel Admitting publicly that there were NEGOTIATING in BAD FAITH with Putin from the start...

    In case you missed the point. In this situation... WE ARE THE BADDIES!

    This is what happens when you don't allow any new refineries to be built for like 50 years.

    It’s somewhat poetically ironic that when the Elitist Democrat Politicians find themselves against the wall their own useful idiot Marxist electorate will most likely be doing the honors. If Right Wing Domestic Terrorism were as prevalent as we are told....we’d be seeing a lot more trees adorned with traitors in the middle of the night. Just another reason that when the Marxist Revolution starts....I won’t be lifting a finger to “save” the government that helped bring it about. After the Marxist complete the dirty work....I’ll go after the Marxists.

    I hope I’m burning Russian oil. That would put a contented smile on my face.

    Me dino had stocked up on canned food, condensed milk, toilet paper, etc., because I thought all our diesel delivery trucks would have no fuel by now.
    I was even wondering it some America companies were pumping oil on the sly somewhat like moonshiners supplying bootleg operations during the Prohibition.
    Russian oil being refined in India makes more sense.
    I'm going to hang onto what food and stuff I've stocked up on though.
    Who knows? China just may float some EMP balloon bombs our way just to give their senile Quid Pro Quo Sell-Out Joe something to be confused over what to do about our power grid. .

    Did you vote Democrat? If you did you're getting what you voted for. The Big Dufuss in Washington DC (NIFO) is doing everything he can to crush the domestic energy sector and this is the natural result unless he and his ilk shut it down. It would not surprise me if Hunter set up a payment schedule to move Russian petroleum products through India and into the US, which would be messed up by domestic production.

    👍 Just as I said when the economic war against Russia started.
    There are no origin labels on petroleum products, so Russia will be able to sell their goods easily.
    I'd rather use Russian gas than woke gas.
