Well. Russia needs $$$ to buy military hardware... So the new US administration is helping them out with dollars. :confused:

So now that it's "signing day", are you going to share with us just what this Italian-ish V6 Turbo is wrapped in? :tup:

What's your source for this? Based on what I could find, we get nowhere close to 1/3rd of our oil from Russia.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/...nd-exports.php

Edit: Did find this, which includes more data:

Thank you, Josh. We get nearly 2/3 of our imported oil from Canada, and considering we get more from Mexico and Saudi Arabia than Russia, it is not mathematically possible for us to get 1/3 from Russia.

After looking at the numbers, it becomes clear how rash and erroneous that claim is. According to the EIA 2020 data, Russia makes up 6% of the Top 10 countries we use to import oil.

While it is true that the number of barrels from Russia increased 50% between 2020 and 2021, it is patently false that we ever came remotely close to sourcing 1/3 of our oil imports from Russia. And what a terrible thought to think that we would ever rely that much on Russia for anything :eekdance:

The one I read earlier said 1/3. Now I read it's like 550,000 barrels a day. :icon14: Gov't mis-information. :icon14:

We still are the #1 producer of crude oil, follow by Russia and Saudi Arabia

Zingston 02-28-2022 12:21 PM
Regardless of the %'age of oil we're importing from Russia, the real question is WHY ARE WE IMPORTING ANY OIL FROM RUSSIA? We have more than enough oil within our own borders to satisfy our own consumption! Sending those dollars (any dollars) to a country like Russia should be considered criminal, at best!

Was that an article on a government website or just another media outlet presenting their own "facts"?

So many people just want to group other people into a group. Divide and conquer. You're either with me or against me.

The problem I have with so-called "news" today is how difficult and time-consuming it is for me to parse truthful and unbiased information and facts from the garbage spewing out of the mouths of the talking heads on TV. Reuters is one of the few I feel like I can go to when I'm feeling lazy about my news intake - and even that still requires reading dammit.

Another major beef I have is that some stuff simply isn't reported by a media outlet because it doesn't cater to their audience. It happens on both sides of the political spectrum, so I have to pay attention to both sides' news reporting.

As a result, there appear to be three distinct methods that people use to imbibe news these days:
A few just bury their head in the sand and ignore everything they can.
A slightly larger number take the time to indulge multiple perspectives and make an educated decision for themselves.
And the majority parse the information that suits their own perspective and world view because it's easy and they are too lazy to give a F.

My favorite was his lawsuit defense that no reasonable person would take him seriously. He won on those grounds. Amazing.

Oh and to the person responsible for the tags, I think Biden is a jackass.
