Sen. Rick Scott Says Joe Biden Caused the US Energy Dependence on Russia

Sen. Rick Scott denounced Joe Biden for causing US energy dependence that was gained in the Trump years, but Joe Biden cut it short.

The administration is resorting to begging other countries to increase production, which is not happening. Disenfranchising US energy producers allow dependence on Russian oil and create a world crisis worse than Afghanistan

Wrong Energy Policies Have Jeopardized the US

Republican Senator from Florida Rick Scott aimed at the White House and scoured President Joe Biden for anti-American policies that favor Russia.

He spoke to Newsmax and unloaded a barrage of criticisms calling Biden clueless and not pro-America in his questionable energy.

In a harsh critique that mocked the doubtable decision-making of the gaffe-ridden democrat. Questioning why did he drive the country to be energy-dependent, not independent.

Opened up why was the Keystone XL pipeline closed and made it hard for energy companies to do business. Furthermore, why did Biden cause two debacles in Afghanistan and Ukraine; when former President Trump started zero wars.

Stated all these facts at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), interviewed by Eric Boiling of Newsmax, the president has crisis one after the other.

Scott said Biden has been wrong, from the border to dependence on foreign oil suppliers. He is incompetent to do anything against Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping cited Now Trending.

All these problems are caused by leftist policies and weak leadership resulting in US energy dependence, remarked Sen. Scott.

His weakness encouraged Putin that Kyiv might not be the last.

An ill-advised White House has destabilized the energy market in the EU, Russia produces oil and natural gas as a top supplier. Price per barrel is now $105 from 2014 when Crimea was invaded when Joe Biden was vice-president of Barack Obama.

Biden Too Weak To Impose Sanctions

Scott and the GOP lawmakers blamed the president for undoing sanctions on the $11 billion Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, connecting Russia and Germany via the Baltic Sea, per BBC. Pleas to jumpstart the Keystone XL pipeline were ignored.

Biden played into Russia's hands by allowing the Nord Stream 2 to continue. The threat of sanctions is too late, if nothing is done, then expect bad things, and it's on the president.

After the surprise occupation and assistance of Donbas and Lugansk by Russian forces, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz suspended the NS2.

Like Germany and other European Union members dependent on a greater part of their natural gas supply, they are amid an energy crunch that has driven energy prices through the roof.

Furthermore, several members have made gas deals despite the Ukraine standoff; some need the gas supply, or they will have problems.

US, Allies Dependent on Moscow for Oil Supplies

Closing the pipeline could not come at a worse time when Nord Stream 2 would supply energy to the block. Joe Biden tried to convince Chancellor Scholz, but it's only now something was done.

Sanctions on the Russian/German pipeline are in effect, but the US is also pinch. Sen. Scott said that US energy dependence is due to scrapping Trump's policies and weakness on the White House to declare sanctions, and Russia is said to be able to circumvent them.
