Democrats have destroyed this country. First it was Obama who ended banking secrecy and now Biden who unleashed inflation last seen 40 years ago...

China for oil only, Europe imports most of it's natural gas from Russia.

But the point is that almost everyone is still importing Russian energy, so why not the Bahamas, if this can lower the cost of electricity, grocery and gas bills?

Can't compare, diamonds don't power your house or increase transport costs.

And no children are involved in the extraction of oil in Russia.

Do you know that the biggest importer of Russian energy today is Europe?

And when the US invaded Iraq, I don't remember us taking any sanctions on the USA.

And oil from Saudi Arabia is even more bloody. If you don't believe me go ask in Yemen or the Kashogy family...

It is the duty of our government to provide the cheapest energy to the country. Russian oil is available with a 20% to 30% discount to world prices. Russian oil could lower everyone’s energy bills. Our government was elected to look after the Bahamian people, not the Ukrainian people, so let’s get that cheap oil and end the useless bickering.

Exactly. High energy prices are because of the sanctions, not the war.

The Bahamas can buy oil from Russia at a 30% discount like China and India. Why are we not doing it?

Funny to read this when I have no power at my home...how about examining getting power to my house?

I have yet to see one of these "experts" talk about government reducing wasteful spending and collecting due taxes. We got more taxes with VAT and the result was record deficits. Think about that for a minute, before saying again that increasing taxes is the solution...

Well at least we know now where that VAT money is going....

I thought it was Putin who was supposed to feel the pain of the sanctions??? I guess that's what they call the boomerang effect...
