President Joseph R. Biden is banning all Russian oil Imports along with our allies and some of the other European countries. A warning has been issued to all American oil and gas companies against price gouging and excessive profiteering. In my humble opinion NATO is not doing enough to help the Ukrainian people. I don’t get it about not even imposing some type of strategic no fly zone to protect the humanitarian corridors for people to safely flee the country without being shot! Putin can deny these atrocities all day and all night, but the world has seen with our own eyes on our television sets.
Back here in our own country there is tremendous blowback from the “pain at the pump.” Joe Biden is now feeling the heat from inflation and his poor handling of the economy. The gas prices have hit a record high with no foreseeable ceiling in sight. Putin is determined to continue on his murderous path with little or no regard for sanctions. He is one of the richest men in the world and all of the pain will be passed onto the Russian people not him or his inner circle. If we do not have the spine to create a no fly zone because of retaliation from Russia then we need to pass the baton as a superpower on to somebody else. Now is the time for leadership on the world stage. Otherwise, another war going on too long is imminent and unnecessary!
