Jake Sullivan Gets Taken to the Woodshed on Biden Hurting US, Helping Russia on Energy – Opinion

Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan went on all the networks on Sunday, stoking up the concern about a potential invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Martha MacCallum asked him some very important questions when Biden appeared on Fox to discuss why he had helped and encouraged Russia’s energy moves.

We see liberal media giving Biden’s Administration credit for their poor energy policy moves, but MacCallum was clear and open to discussing the facts with them during the interview.

MacCallum asked why didn’t Biden restart the Keystone XL pipeline and oil drilling leases, which the Administration had stopped because the U.S. had “energy independence which was large leverage for the U.S. over Russia.” But now, we didn’t have that anymore and we were even buying more oil from Russia, even in the face of these threats that Biden is waving a flag about regarding Ukraine.

Sullivan’s answer was a non-answer. He said we’re still a big producer, and we’re going to make sure that Russia doesn’t use oil as a weapon. We’re going to make sure Russia doesn’t use energy as a weapon — by buying more of their oil and reducing our ability? Is that really possible? What is the point of destroying our position to help Russia?

Biden stopped Keystone XL from being shut down and also leased oil drilling rights. Additionally, he lifted sanctions on Nord Stream 2 to help Russia.

Like I wrote previously:

Are you aware that the United States imports a large amount of Russian oil? Not only did Biden beg OPEC to produce more oil, he doubled the amount of oil imported from Saudi Arabia from December of 2020 and October of 2021 and we’ve also tripled the oil from Russia from what we were importing from February 2019 to September 2021.

Biden increased Russian oil imports 23 percent in May last year to 8424,000 barrels per day, almost 10% more than the previous month. Canada is the only country from which we have more oil imports. You may be wondering why we import and rely on Canada as our only source of oil.

MacCallum pressed Sullivan, asking if he does concede we are no longer energy independent, “and we were before.” His answer is very revealing.

“What I would say is that the U.S. is investing massively in being a leader in an energy transition in which – yes, for now we continue to use fossil fuels – but over the course of years and decades, we become a clean energy superpower.” He claimed that’s where the “strategic advantage” would lie.

Just to summarize that: he’s admitting they’re killing our energy position on purpose. That’s what he just said, because of their insane “clean energy” goals. That’s all just cool to them, if we help Russia now, as Russia menaces us and their neighbors. That’s all just cool, as our gas prices continue to soar, hitting almost 50 percent higher than they were last year at the same time. We can’t deny how dangerous and inhumane these people are. Every American should vote for them to be removed from office.

MacCallum provided the best answer. “Some people would look at that answer and say that Russia and China could feel like they were in a “pretty good position,” MacCallum said.

Exactly. Russia and China may be laughing at this, and wishing we would put them in power. And the Democrats called President Donald Trump a Putin stooge, when he was dropping bombs on Russians’ heads and making us more energy independent. These actions don’t make sense unless someone is insane and/or trying to help Vladimir Putin. They hinder our ability to protect ourselves and our allies. They are a problem for every American.

So, when you’re driving to the pump and shaking your head when you see those prices rising again, just remember what Jake Sullivan said.
