The announcement will come later today, just as the president comes to Fort Worth to talk about veterans\u2019 issues.<\/p>\n<p>Gosh, do you think he\u2019ll field any questions about the Russian oil ban? More to the point, do you think he\u2019ll answer them?<\/p>\n<p>The POTUS has been getting plenty of pressure to \u201cdo more\u201d to make the Russians come to what\u2019s left of their senses. The dictator Vladimir Putin has launched a full-scale, unprovoked, bloody and senseless attack on a sovereign nation at Russia\u2019s doorstep. Oil revenue is funding this invasion. The United States happens to be a prime consumer of Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden is about to tell the world that the nation he governs is no longer going to purchase that fossil fuel. The consequence undoubtedly will be a continued spike in the price of petroleum products.<\/p>\n<p>I am prepared to pay it if it helps bring an end to the bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am swallowing hard as I ponder what I want to say about this, but \u2026 here goes.
