White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said calls for the U.S. to boost its own fossil fuel production in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has increased oil prices further, were a "misdiagnosis."

Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine last week, the U.S. has issued a wave of sanctions against Russia's banks and even Russian President Vladimir Putin himself.

But the U.S. has so far refrained from directly sanctioning Russian energy exports. The reason is Europe, which depends on Russian oil and has opposed doing anything that would turn off the spigot.

Republican lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to boost domestic energy production in order to lessen reliance on Russian energy. 

The prices of gas, heating oil is placing people back to poverty, and we are not at war with nobody. Doesn't that weigh heavily on the Conscious the president who caused it?  Just a thought.
