We are told that we import ONLY 10% of our oil from Russia. But to Russia that could be anywhere from 30-40% of their oil exports so therefore full sanctions will work. What are we waiting for??????

I guess we could try to look at it as our own personal contribution to Freedom and Democracy. We don't have to like it, but the world is stepping up, and that means we all need to do what we can, and take some pain if that is. what is needed to help defeat Tyranny.
OUR Country was built on a lot of pain and a lot gave their lives so we could live like we are able to live.
I'll d my part and take some pain.
This isn't meant as a rant to your post. Just maybe a way for us to look at what's going on that can help us better accept some of it.
