I just love how the republicans are demanding we stop RU imports while simultaneously blaming Biden for high gas prices.
As I noted in another thread, Paul Krugman in his latest NYT column:
Overall, then, the Putin-made energy crisis will be serious but probably not catastrophic. My biggest concern for the United States, at least, is political. You mightn’t think that Republicans could simultaneously demand that we stop buying Russian oil and attack President Biden for high gasoline prices. That is, you mightn’t think that if you’d spent the past 25 years sleeping in a cave. In fact, that’s exactly what’s about to happen.
It’s just what they do.
