President Biden said Wednesday that he’s open to banning Russian oil imports as he accused Moscow’s invading troops of intentionally targeting residential areas in Ukraine.

Biden, facing calls to sanction Russia’s lucrative energy exports, indicated his willingness to go further after claiming Tuesday night in his first State of the Union address that “we prepared extensively and carefully” to respond to Russia’s attack.

Critics slammed Biden last week for implementing initially limited sanctions as tanks rolled across Ukraine’s borders and as Russian jets bombed targets across the former Soviet republic.

“Are you considering banning Russian oil imports?” a reporter asked Biden on the White House lawn as he departed on a trip to Minnesota and Wisconsin Wednesday.

“Nothing is off the table,” the president answered.

Inflation was accelerating before the conflict, and we do not have the resources to deal with our internal problems.  The Chinese are not going to ban imports.  This stunt will just help them and drive us into recession.
