So Twitter is pushing this β€œ74%” thing, as some poll shows that is the result of Americans who want the US to stop buying Russian oil.

I guess Americans never got the memo: Biden stopped the flow of money into Russia. It doesn’t matter if a tanker shows up with Russian petrol, the Russians are not getting paid for it.

And as I explained the other day, the US buys very little Russian petroleum. Most of our imports are products (i.e. stuff that comes from refineries). And how much of that is then re-exported I do not know, but US exports of petroleum products is almost as large as our imports.
