"Today I am announcing the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia's economy. We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy," Biden said in remarks from the White House.
"That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at US ports and the American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin's war machine."
this alone wont have a huge impact on russia but every bit does add up when looking at the big picture of sanctions
it will have even greater impact though if other nations follow bidens lead here

For now I see this as having at best a marginal effect on overall sanctions impact. But it could be much more if the EU or several other non-EU nations who buy Russian oil were to join a boycott of Russian oil.
It is the right thing to do regardless.

Then where do you expect the EU to get the oil that would need to be replaced by a boycot? What do you think would happen to their economy if they boycot Russian oil? Is it really the right thing to do? Think outside of feelings and think about the economy and how it moves forward.

UAE says it wants OPEC to increase oil production to replace Russian barrels banned by the US DOW jumps more than 600 pts
DOW will surely fall again by the end of the week but I am more interested to hear of more OPEC nations agreeing to pump out more oil to ease supply issues.

Russia says nearly half its reserves are frozen, counts on support from China

It appears now that very soon Joe Biden may be forced to confront China as well, if China makes the mistake of aiding the Russian bear to avoid much of the worst consequences of coalition sanctions.

Sleepy's already a little late, if you don't think China already been helping the "Russian Bear" something wrong Joe's scared and the world knows it. And if he thinks he's going to put sanctions on China he should have done it the day they knew this. But if I'm going to get a few million I would take my time to.

China faces consequences if it helps Russia evade sanctions
WASHINGTON (Reuters) U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, warned Beijing it would "absolutely" face consequences if it helped Moscow evade sweeping sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
Russia asked China for military equipment after its invasion of Ukraine, sparking concern in the White House that Beijing may undermine Western efforts to help Ukrainian forces defend their country, several U.S. officials said.
Sullivan plans in his meeting with Yang to make Washington's concerns clear while mapping out the consequences and growing isolation China would face globally if it increases its support of Russia, one U.S. official said.

(CNN) President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" on Wednesday as Russia intensifies its attack on Ukraine's citizens.
Biden's designation reflects a shift from the administration's previous stance. Officials, including Biden, had previously stopped short of saying war crimes were being committed in Ukraine, citing ongoing investigations into whether that term could be used.
But officials have been clear they believe atrocities are underway and that the intentional targeting of civilians would constitute war crimes.

Biden acknowledged the horrors transpiring on the ground.
"We saw reports [on MSM] that Russian forces were holding hundreds of doctors and patients hostage in the largest hospital in Mariupol," Biden said.
"These are atrocities. They're an outrage to the world. And the world is united in our support for Ukraine and our determination to make Putin pay a very heavy price."

@hoody See we are done with bullshit lies....Show us where/how China is already providing aid to Russia. I say you're full of shit!
Well let's see;
--China made a $117.5 billion dollar deal with Russia for energy.
---Time;
Following a summit at the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, Xi and Putin issued a joint statement on Feb. 4, criticizing the “negative” U.S. influence both in Europe and across the Asia-Pacific. They also said they would be deepening a “no limits” strategic partnership, while opposing “the further expansion of NATO” in what they deemed a “Cold War era” approach.
Professor Steve Tsang, director of SOAS China Institute at the University of London, argues that it was as “strong can you get in terms of support short of forming a formal alliance.” Chinese state media, meanwhile, gushed that the two nations stood “shoulder to shoulder in upholding justice in the world.”
--Russia has now asked China for help that "experts" believed is aimed at drones provided to Ukraine by NATO member Turkey. We hear crickets. What is actually happening? HMMM.

In Poland last week, Vice President Kamala Harris called for international investigations into war crimes, and made clear she believed atrocities were underway. She said the intentional targeting of civilians would constitute war crimes.
After Biden delivered his assessment, the White House said the administration's investigation into war crimes would continue.
