How does taxing Russia's oil a good solution? It just increases the price for oil. Its great if you want to make more money selling oil, while not helping Russia so your own companies can see record profits. Its horrible for countries dependent on oil. We still need Russian oil, some people just want their oil sold first before Russia's at the cost of everyday people.

We should tax you 😂😂😂
