The US House of Representatives on Wednesday passed legislation giving Donald Trump broad powers to impose sanctions on Russia and tariffs of up to 100% on countries that buy Russian oil and gas. It will now go to Trump to be signed into law.

    America is getting not even a mornings worth of energy from Russia. Those numbers sound big until you realize that America uses about 4.1 million barrels of diesel a day

    For first shipment of 100,000 tons, that works out to be 733,000 barrels.

    Even when Russia ramps up to 1,000,000 tons, it works out to 1.5 days of energy for America.

    This does nothing to help not only the US or the rest of the world, but it does provide a lifeline to Donald’s puppet master with extra money to continue buying munitions from China, Iran, and North Korea in their war against Ukraine.

    It’s another grift sound bite from a pedophile that was voted into power by a sick populace.
