The world needs Russian oil. Prices will go up if Russia is unable to freely trade.
The extent that Russia is harmed by this will be far less than the extent that the US and others will be harmed by it.
You imagine a fairyland scenario where Russia is forced to sell at a discount to China. WTF?
Without Russian oil, the world's price for oil will skyrocket. Then Russia can go and say "Hey, Winnie the Pooh, want to buy my oil for the normal price?". Or maybe they just go for the current price minus 10%, still making more money than before while everyone else in the world gets screwed.
You have to be a literal retard to not see that.
To harm Russian oil you have to physically impede them from producing or moving oil. Sanctions don't mean shit when a country is self sufficient and already willing to wage war. You might as well tell Putin he can't attend the prom if he doesn't stop being a meanie.
The mentality you have on display is one of a child completely coddled by modern Western life and oblivious to how things actually work in the world. You have no fundamental concept of war or the reasons countries wage it. At best, you've seen half-assed political occupations (Iraq, Afghanistan).
Here's a spoiler for you: The DNC and media WANT this to boil over into a full-fledged war with Russia. They're begging for it.

To quote Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and âfact checkâ(TM) it,â Like the âworld ending in 12 yearsâ(TM) thing, youâ(TM)d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think itâ(TM)s literal.
No, that's the left.

FACT CHECK: At two inches each, a thousand burgers would not reach one mile high.
An entire article for an idiom. An article decrying the cost (a mere $3000, infinitesimal compared to the usual fare), worrying if it was enough food (it was), and looking down their noses at the whole thing (because it was fast food, which they actually enjoyed).
It's the LEFT that does this shit. And it's the left that accuses everyone else of doing the shit they're doing - from theft to rioting (or "insurrection") to sexism to racism to pedophilia to warmongering and everything else.

Thank you for being a friend.
Traveled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.
And if you threw a party,
Invited everyone you knew,
You would see the biggest gift would be from me.
And the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend.

Congress' oversight of the Executive branch.
That's not how anything works.
When the executive and legislative disagree, you go to the judicial. Congress refused to go to court. They knew they were in the wrong and would just lose.
No, it wouldn't have taken years for a decision. It was a clear cut case, and this SCOTUS has been churning out results rapidly.

It's true. China controls much of the new silicon valley. Pretty much all the "appy" crap is just a data pipeline to the CCP.

Don't forget the last major HCQ "study", which was outright faked.
Of course, Slashdot clowns ate it up!

there were 81000 controls and a detailed set of checks on confounding factors.
Nope. It was all fake. The NYT even admitted it. The paper was even retracted from the journals that published it.

Guess you didn't read, because to anyone with a brain it was obviously fake.
And a few days later the NYT even admitted it. The paper was even retracted from the journals that published it.

There were no control groups. There was no study. They didn't have any data collection standard. Hell, they didn't even collect real data.
It was all faaaaaaaaaaaake, and here's the proof:

For the most part you'd be dead if you made that bet. I myself voted Warren over Bernie's ticker.
The exception would be
Ah, so I won the bet. I didn't even have to look at your post history.

Here we go again with another FAKE NEWS ant-HCQ hit piece.
Even the NEW YORK TIMES was forced to admit the last hit-piece "study" about HCQ was BULLSHIT.

The thing was RETRACTED! The "data" was pulled out of their ass!

A scientific study is a conspiracy theory now?
YES. Because they're actively pushing FAKE NEWS and FAKE STUDIES.

I told all of you morons that it was fucking bullshit.
DID YOU LISTEN? NO!
I only counted about 4 fucking posters other than myself who had a basic understanding of how it was bullshit.
Have we really slid so far down the cliff that this is the level of discourse we want to accept?
YES. Because they're actively pushing FAKE NEWS and FAKE STUDIES.
No, not every study is fake. Yes, the vast majority of published papers are bullshit. Yes, the vast majority of "peer-reviewed" papers are bullshit. Yes, the vast majority of academia is bullshit. Yes, these anti-HCQ "studies" and articles are bullshit.
Knowing these facts and pointing them out makes you PRO SCIENCE, not anti science.
