OP shut down and stop spewing nonsense.

You only read us still import oil from Russia, your blind eyes never went through 22nd April set as deadline? importing oil at this point is still in line, but after 22nd is not worth it. so shush and stop the misinformation. Ops all round..

If only you had a brain and checked out the story elsewhere, you would have realized that they not only continued to ramp up imports but increased the nos significantly thereby, giving the said "enemy" more money. If they were sincere, they should have actually cut down on the nos, not increasing it.

this is very sad.

Zelensky is not a wise leader. the world knows how powerful Russia is, but the only one that doesn't know is Zelensky.

imagine if it was Nigeria doing something like this to Benin, nothing like sanctions, the world will annihilate us.
but they can't do it to Russia, because Russia is very big and powerful. but Zelensky doesn't know or believe it.

instead of making peace, he is telling people who are not strong to fight and die. there is nothing glorious about death.

when your big brother at home wants to beat you, because you did something wrong, or he feels you wronged him,
there is a way you speak to him to make him calm and stop. something like.
I know you're my big brother, you're bigger and stronger than me, we're family, we aren't supposed to be fighting each
other, what will our parents think, and don't forget when brother fight to the death, a stranger inherits their properties.
we are supposed to love each other if not for ourselves, for our parents and our family name. please calm down and tell
me where I went wrong so that I can learn from you and do better.


there is no big brother that you'll speak to like this that won't calm down. if he wanted to kill you, he might just slap you
and stop



Russia is powerful and Zelensky is not wise..

Sadly for you, after 5 weeks of the war, powerful Russia still can not defeat Zelensky that is not a wise leader.
Putin is almost surrendering as we speak Zelensky drove him out of most od the towns held by the Russians, his military is target practice for Zelensky who was so brave to fly 2 helicopters into Russia undetected, blew up fuel depots, and returned undetected.

What kind of powerful country failed to detect 2 helicopters entering their airspace during the war?

Are you people not even ashamed for ridiculing the same Russia that you are promoting as a powerful nation, the same Russia that is struggling to defeat a small country like Ukraine that did not even have any serious army 5 weeks ago.

Russia is a weak and poor country with a useless and incompetent overrated leader.

Do you have sense at all? Why are you typing like your brain is a furniture that you carry around?

What is the essence of sanctioning Russian oil imports? Obviously because of the war and to starve them of funds in prosecuting the war. If we all agree to stop buying oil from Russia so as not to fund the war, why would it now be OK to speed up the quantity we import before the deadline? Isn't that an indirect way of giving them more money in advance? You say you have no problem with them even buying a billion barrels a day, do you understand what that means? That means you want to give them the money they would have earned in a year or two or more, in less than a month. It's like your boss paying you your salary for the next 5 years, in a lump sum under 1 month. Now, tell me how that becomes a morally acceptable move?

Lol. When we talk about the hypocrisy of the US, some dumb idiots will attribute it to lack/denial of visa. How do you tell the world that a certain government is bad and that people should avoid buying oil from them so as to starve them of funds from invading smaller countries, but you then go behind to increase your oil purchase from the same country? Isn't that pure hypocrisy at play? Why not stick to your principles and totally starve them of funds as you have proposed? Some morons will still come here to defend this as if their unbiblical cord was shipped to America at birth. For those who think most of us that criticize America, hate the US, hear this: we don't hate the US; we simply do not subscribe to the double standards and their leaders engage in. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.
Umblical cord not unbiblical cord.

Even the bible admonishes a king to be wise when going into battle with a greater king.

"Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace" Luke 14:31-32

I did, but unfortunately for you, you did not do your own job because the fake news came from one single source, one Russian official, with no proof or any documented evidence.

And to make matters worse for you, there is still nothing wrong or missing per Americans buying Russian oil at the moment because the deadline to stop buying Russian oil is 2 weeks away so what is the essence of this silly info and propaganda?

Stop defending your own foolery.

I'd understand if the US keeps buying Russian oil after the ban goes into effect, but not before.

You people need to read credible news and follow current affairs to avoid embarrassing yourselves,.
