Trump's the one who made us more dependent on Russian oil, so don't know how you figure that one.

But now is the wrong time to go back to work in person. [/quote]

Guess again.  Oil imports from Russia were high under Obama - they dropped under Trump - then shot up once Biden took office.

They "shot back up" in 2019 as a result of Trump imposing sanctions on Venezuela and stopping Venezuelan oil imports.  So instead they bought oil from Russia.  That was on Trump's watch.
Does the flow of Russian oil to the US need to end now?  Yes.

As for "the price of gas is high because of the war" consider that even now we only get 3.5% of our oil from Russia.  Yet the price hike is much higher than the war and Russia can account for.  I'd wager it's only in small part the war and Russia, but far more price manipulation and price gouging on other fronts. [/quote]
