back-of-the-napkin math and a couple quick ddg, says half a day’s consumption. 2m barrels vs ~ 4m daily consumption (from statista; 3.83m bbl daily ave first week oct 2025).
Flailing to save face with a likely disastrous upcoming midterm for his ilk. The question is if the American voter base is unintelligent enough to fall for this while also clueless enough to see that this directly contradicts the “Lindsay Graham” sanctions against Russia introduced just one month ago. Unhinged discordance between foreign and economic policy though he’s managed to skirt accountability for that kind of incoherence so many times before. I hope the American people are tired of seeing their leadership swoop in with dysfunctional solutions for crises they ultimately created.
I can see some of the American voter base falling for this but sooner or later they’re going to associate worsening cost of living with the people in charge. The illusion can only be maintained for so long.
So he pussied out on the sanctions for one day of fuel. Gret taktik, smert much!
