There are no depths Trump won’t sink the US to. None.
Seriously doubt this “russian diesel” even exists
Considering the Ukrainians have been blowing up refineries and fuel storage depos for months now, I agree with you. That diesel doesn’t exist.
Also I remember reading that Russians implemented fuel rationing in some parts of the country.
I’m thinking its all a show/lie. When it doesn’t show up he is to be able to tell the American people that Ukraine is driving up prices and attacking american fuel…
Oh, definitely. He’s gonna use it to cut all US support to Ukraine. Which would also help Putin a lot.
The US supports Ukraine?
They still offer intelligence support I believe. Don’t think they give anything else otherwise and haven’t ever since Trump took power.
IIRC there was a group being trained to fly the F-16 but it was other countries offering to give them the planes so we couldn’t even be bothered to commit a 60 year old airframe
America is fighting on too many fronts, the Ukrainian coup and following militarisation was just too greedy when they also needed to secure their hegemony in their own region (hence the recent Venezuelan and Brazilian interventions, and the yap regarding Canada and Mexico). Maybe they thought it was gonna be over quickly? Miscalculation or not, the right people still got paid, I guess.
That’s probably the point, now that ‘US has a deal’ Ukraine targetting Russian refineries is a ‘no no’.
Just the latest orders down the chain from Putin.
I wonder what the US economy would be like post ww3 after being on the wrong side of it
probably the same as everywhere once you realize that WW3 will use nukes.
Koch oil refineries in Russia never stopped churing
In geopolitics everything seems so intertwined and twisted that it almost makes me believe that everything is a scheme and we’re being played all day everyday. Almost like some secret society world order dogshit
Sanctions don’t work because they can’t be maintained. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
I dont understand why you keep repeating this same comment over and over. I’ve must seen it repeated almost ipsis litteris almost a dozen times.
Do you think this community never have new subscribers?
All of this is dumb.
Why?
Sanctions work, especially compared to “but his time Putin will honor our agreement, I promise”.
Trump attacking Iran is what sent prices soaring
Yes, but Trump has to end his sanction against Russian oil in order to get diesel oil prices down.
The amount in the proposed deal amounts to 20 minutes of global supply. How exactly will that lower prices?
Yes, perhaps Trump is simply trying to fool the American public.
Wow, you completely solved international politics with a single Lemmy comment. I didn’t know we were in the presence of greatness here!
I don’t know whether any country has discussed my proposal to determine whether it is great.
Let me tell you then: it’s fuckin’ stupid. Like… not even regular stupid. Donald Trump stupid.
It’s a great idea but whether it would work is unknown because nobody knows how Putin would react. However, it is also unknown whether not following my proposal would lead to a better outcome.
