Russia is having problems supplying itself with diesel due to how many of their refining capacity has been damaged by Ukraine.
The only effect of this will be an attempt to shift blame from Trump for the shortages and high costs of energy onto Ukraine for daring to defend themselves.
It was all a scam. Trump had just put sanctions on Russia. Putin then banned all diesel exports from Russia in response, even though they don’t have much thanks to Ukraine taking out refineries and storage. Putin wanted trump to lift those sanctions so he offered trump diesel russia doesn’t have in exchange for lifting the sanctiond trump just imposed
Played trump like a putz.
Make no mistake this is a trick.
Russia HAS NO DIESEL TO EXPORT. They’re importing at a huge government loss from India.

This fake deal accomplishes exactly two things:
- It lets Trump give Putin money for arms against Ukraine and all Putin has to do is middle man Indian diesel.
- It lets Trump attack Ukrainians when they strike Russian refineries because they’re "bombing our American diesel supply chain.
The US is a NET EXPORTER of diesel. They don’t need more fuel. The problem is the market price is increasing due to mostly Hormuz since Russian oil is sanctioned. All he’s doing is lifting this sanction to pay Putin to buy arms. Stopping Putin from trading fuel for arms was the entire purpose of the sanctions in the first place.
Trump is a traitor.
yep. russia can’t supply diesel to it’s farmers so they can bring in the crops.
now they’re gonna export hundreds of thousands of gallons?
HOW? How they fuck would this fuel get from the gas station that is russia to the US? LOL, Ukraine will just blow it up.
Zionists, Now Russian invaders. What other scum of the earth can we join forces with. We can help China murder Taiwan I guess.
So we’re at the point where Trump is openly and actively undermining US policy again in exchange for Russia to swing the election in his favor. Got it.
Felt pretty open to me since at least 2015.
Arguably 1987.
Yeah, I buried my “again” there.
Yeahhh isn’t this like double treason or something?
Sprinkles on a seven layer treason cake
I can’t believe they bothered Michael’s family so much over light treason.
Ukraine and the Kurds. They fight our wars for us and betrayal is all they get for it. Ukraine should let every Iranian tanker through.
Ukraine should let every Iranian tanker through.
Wait what? Looking at the map, that means into the EU? Why?
Woah, fuck that, China is the fucker enabling Russia and the USA both and the Iranian regime is China’s baby.
Traitor.
Where you been? (said in humor)
Didn’t Trump put tarrifs on India for doing the same thing?
This is treasonous and helps get American volunteers in Ukraine get killed. 👏👏The president of the USA is actively killing Americans at home and abroad 👏👏
The only way to stop him is [redacted]
Serious question. Does russia have enough diesel product to export? I thought they had to restrict exports due to refineries strikes
their farmers can’t bring in their own crops lol. most of their refineries are on fire or smouldering.
No, this is another money laundering scheme.
Come on Zelenskyy, hit a few more of those Rusky refineries!
Ukraine has been killing it!
Unfortunately, Russia like Iran will be able to use dumb missiles and destroy ukrainian energy infrastructure in winter. USA may have doomed Ukraine by not giving patriot missiles when there was a chance.
Europe is about to experience a winter they haven’t experienced in generations… God speed friends
Don’t lose hope. Ukraine will survive as long as Europe pays the bills to make up for Ukraine’s crippled economy. Russia works to end this by supporting AfD and National Rally and Reform UK, but European citizens still have an opportunity to prevent that.
Yes, but Russia was successfully overthrowing liberal democracy long before they invaded Ukraine. Since at least around 2012, if not before.
Oh man, guess who’s supplying Putin with bombs to stop Ukraine from bombing Russian oil refineries to protect themselves from Russia?
America is officially a puppet state to Russia, but now with live streaming executions.
I knew China and North Korea was and that Trump has given total financial lifelines for Russia but what bombs has US given?
What do you think Russia is going to do with the money to buy the fuel?
The US may not be sending bombs directly, but that is 1000% where the money will go. Just because they’re not providing the weapons directly, that does not absolve them of involvement.
Got to get those fuel prices down before the election!
We’ll see if the American Public has learned anything in the past 10 years.
Present company excluded of course.
The most upsetting part to me is that the G7 nations are releasing their fuel reserves and Trump is trying to give the credit to Russia.
1M tons of oil were going through Hormuz every day before the big orange boi decided to pop off with no plan.
I am sure this will make a difference. 👍
Performative horseshit instead of governance is the best the GOP can do.
