What's an isiot? Do you think you're smarter than the Prime Minister of Alberta on energy matters?
But hey, please go right ahead and explain to everyone why it makes sense for us to start enriching our previously-sanctioned enemies like Nicolas Maduro and Ayatollah Khamenei instead of turning on the Keystone XL "spicket" and buying more oil from friendly Canucks?
(Unless, of course, you are deliberately trying to weaken US national security and undermine human rights in Venezuela and Iran... is that your argument?)
And if you can't explain and justify it, then take your own advice and stfu!

So if you understood world wide energy, you'd know that this really does not effect the PRICE..which is exactly wtf I said
You brought up WHERE we buy feedstock FROM.
Those are two entirely different subjects.
You probably do not understand world wide oil distribution, that is why you continually defy the warning I gave you on the title of this thread.
Even if the United States does not buy oil from Russia, Russia will just find a black market to sell oil, just like Iran and Venezuela have.
So all we are doing in diverting where and who buys oil from whom...we are making markets less efficient and driving up cost and making us feel better about ourselves but unless we actually impose a halt to all sales of Russian oil...which would basically be a declaration of war all we are doing is shifting who buys what from whom.
Now please read the link Lucas provided and hush with this convoluting price vs source nonsense. Stick to grammar popo...your economic and oil acumen are piss poor.
