Sen. Manchin Slams ‘Hypocritical’ Biden for Not Curbing Russian Energy Imports Over Ukraine Invasion -

"Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said that the administration needs to curtail its reliance on Russian petroleum if it was serious about holding Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable for his belligerence in Ukraine."

Why this is important: The Biden Administration has discouraged U.S. production of oil and gas, while allowing the continued importation of Russian oil and gas, thereby financing its invasion of Ukraine. There is sufficient oil and gas in America to meet our needs, if drilling is allowed and pipelines can be built, but there isn't a willingness to allow either at present.
