[u/hyperiongate]

So...we are now funding Russias war effort.?

[u/Careless-Vehicle-286 → u/hyperiongate]

This is why Trump wanted Zelensky to stop attacking Russia's energy infrastructure. This is also why Zelensky didn't stop attacking Russia's energy infrastructure.

[u/JarasM → u/Careless-Vehicle-286]

You know what? Ukraine should now attack Russia's energy infrastructure even harder.

[u/Kridenberg → u/JarasM]

And we will, new Zelensky 'daily' message for nation is live RN. We will hit even harder, AFAIK

[u/archlich → u/Kridenberg]

Fuck Russia. Let the refineries burn.

[u/Gyossaits → u/archlich]

They should sabotage the fuel in all kinds of ways. Process it incorrectly, make it inert...

[u/PoopInTheGarbage → u/Kridenberg]

Good. Sorry Trump fucked you over, hopefully Nov 3rd when we vote he will be with less absolute power that he seems to have at the moment.

[u/hurubaw → u/PoopInTheGarbage]

Im not as optimistic. The americans have proven to be untrustworthy as a whole. Just changing the president wont fix this.

If the US does not fix it’s system of non-existing balances and checks of political power, the US will always be just under 4 years and an election away from being a hostile dictatorship.

[u/xteve → u/hurubaw]

Also, we need to disempower church. There's too much religion in our politics. Christians have too much power and they vote for hate.

[u/hurubaw → u/xteve]

The only fix for that is vastly improving the education system.

[u/load_more_comets → u/hurubaw]

That is correct, but the fucked up part is that it will be a herculean task trying to do that plus it will be terribly easy for the republicans to sabotage it again. I don't know how we're going to fix this but we need to make a plan soon.

[u/verendum → u/load_more_comets]

It's has to get worse before it gets better. I hate that the US works like that, but that's how it has always been. Slavery couldnt be settled until a civil war. Hundreds of bank run before a federal bank. I'm optimistic for a blue wave or tsunami, but in order for structural changes, we need new amendments. Getting enough electoral power will require a complete destruction of the Republicans, and although it's pretty damn bad right now, it's not enough. It might be soon. It's scary time we're living through, but it might be necessary pain.

[u/CaptOblivious → u/hurubaw]

Properly taxing any church that expresses a political opinion (AS THE LAW SAYS IT SHOULD) Will fix the problem without hurting churches that aren't pushing a political agenda.

That said, improving the education system should be a priority for any advanced nation.

[u/Ov3rdose_EvE → u/PoopInTheGarbage]

This is just empty bullshit. Russia has no Diesel to export, they have no Diesel for themselves. The us has no leverage against the Ukrainians since the US is just selling weapons to them, bought with European money.

Its a farce, nothing else.

[u/kgb4187 → u/Ov3rdose_EvE]

Unless Trump sends a check to Russia for the non-existent diesel

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/Kridenberg]

GOOD

[u/asoap → u/Kridenberg]

Is that new ballistic missile ready?

[u/Kridenberg → u/asoap]

Well, first actual combat launcher was done 1 weak ago. So I would say - yes.

[u/ComplexEntertainer13 → u/Kridenberg]

Would be very unfortunate if Moscow started having problems with the electricity grid in the middle of winter.

Very unfortunate!

[u/MoulanRougeFae → u/JarasM]

I hope Ukraine blows Russia back to the Middle ages.

[u/JustToJerkBrah → u/MoulanRougeFae]

They will. The European Union/NATO won't stand for this. The war is about to have a MASSIVE missile offensive into Russia, mark my words.

Europe know what trump is about. They are surely well aware something like this could happen and no doubt have a contingency plan.

Let's be honest, it's extremely easy to get spies into this administration. We probably know more about America than ever before.

[u/OilTurbulent1009 → u/Careless-Vehicle-286]

Desperately trying to keep fuel prices down before the midterms

[u/MoulanRougeFae → u/OilTurbulent1009]

It's about 18 minutes worth of diesel for the US and November would be about 35 minutes worth. It won't do shit for gas prices.

[u/jackp0t789 → u/Careless-Vehicle-286]

Aaand this is what Trump will use to justify completely abandoning Ukraine in order to help lower domestic fuel costs by placating Russia...

[u/FluffyGreenThing → u/jackp0t789]

The US abandoned Ukraine as soon as Trump took office. Way back 2019, in his first term, when he was trying to force Zelensky to investigate Biden and Biden’s son in exchange for military aid (which caused his first impeachment and there were zero fucking consequences for that). Those are not the actions of a president who has any intentions at all of actually helping anyone but themselves. Fuck that absolute piece of shit. It was clear as far back as 2018 when he stood on stage with Putin and said he trusted Putin’s word over the US intelligence agencies. He has regurgitated russian propaganda every chance he’s gotten, pressured Ukraine into handing over rare earth minerals, withheld military aid that had already been approved by congress, humiliated himself by being highly disrespectful and talking down to Zelensky in the oval office, repeatedly claimed that Ukraine is to blame for the war. The list of treachery goes on and on and on… it’s all right there and has been out in the open for years. Trump is working with Putin. the US and Russia are working together. It’s that simple and I can’t for the life of me understand why it’s so hard for people to see.

[u/LordRocky → u/FluffyGreenThing]

People genuinely seem to forget that Ukraine and Zelensky was the reason we impeached him the first time.

[u/StunningCloud9184 → u/LordRocky]

well actually it was trump withholding congress mandated aid to ukraine in exchange for favors from a foreign government that he sent his personal lawyer to get

[u/camdim → u/FluffyGreenThing]

The US also sold him a shit ton of soon to be out of date materials which would have cost a fortune to dispose of at prices which did not reflect this. They also banned Ukraine from transporting the goods themselves and insisted on delivering them with additional extortionate fees. Grifted the fuck out of them...and they'll still be lining up for their mineral deals and rebuilding grifts post war...if there is ever a post war. To be fair, profiting from war and taking advantage of desperate 'allies' is the Us of A's modus operandi...see ww2. With friends like these...

[u/Pure_Werewolf0101 → u/FluffyGreenThing]

The US abandoned Ukraine as soon as Trump took office. Way back 2019, in his first term ...

It's even worse than that.

The single change the Trump Campaign made to the Republican platform in 2015 was to stop sending arms to Ukraine. His campaign chair was Paul Manafort who had previously worked for Russia's puppet in Ukraine Victor Yanukovich, who fled to Russia when overthrown by the Maidan demonstrations.

It was always about Ukraine.

From the very beginning.

Trump ran to weaken Ukraine.

For Russia.

[u/Thetakman → u/Careless-Vehicle-286]

And why trump forced Europe a few weeks back to release 100s of millions of oil barrel in stock.

Now we can restock the stuff with rUSiA oil from Trump for premium prices.

Why did you think he attacked Iran ? To make sure he get top dollars of the fuel he.. and rUSiA can sell. Also didn't he overthrow Venezuela for their oil reserves to?

Wanna bet it's getting close to being profitable to start exctracing that ?

[u/ClassBShareHolder → u/hyperiongate]

And blaming Ukraine for the fuel shortage that apparently doesn’t exist because Russia has fuel to export.

[u/hn-416 → u/ClassBShareHolder]

Everything is Ukraine's fault. Or at least the Europeans.

Need I add the /s?

[u/Longjumping-Boot1886 → u/hyperiongate]

yes, after 52 civilians was killed in two days. Trump was so Epstened by this, so he will to pay billions to Russia directly.

So my dear Americans, then you will see your new gas prices, every time you are tanking your big ass cars, remember its direcly converts to mass murder of the people what was your ally.

[u/Mindless-Support-451 → u/Longjumping-Boot1886]

Will at least one american journalists ask Trump or Rubio if they think it is OK to stimulate Russia when it kills civilians every day?

[u/PistachioPlz → u/Mindless-Support-451]

Aren't all the journalists replaced by yes-men?

[u/therealvitocornelius → u/hyperiongate]

God, you guys are slow, he literally rolled out the red carpet for Putin, and yelled at Zelensky all in the wide open public.

[u/TuckerDidIt → u/hyperiongate]

And Russia is supporting Iran's war effort against the US.

[u/mumushu → u/TuckerDidIt]

If this was ‘war’, then supporting Rus would be ‘treason’. But that’s the old logic that got tossed when Trump became dictator

[u/TuckerDidIt → u/mumushu]

Couldn't possibly be war, that would require an act of Congress. Let's ask the Department of War just to be sure. Or we could just count the number of times Trump has "ended" the war in Iran. 

[u/TeaAndLifting → u/hyperiongate]

Short of giving them active military aid, this is basically what America’s right wing have wanted for a while.

[u/Dinevir → u/hyperiongate]

Yes you are -__-

[u/Justsomejerkonline → u/hyperiongate]

Russia has also provided Iran with satellite targeting intelligence, fiber optic drone technology, and financial support... so we are now also indirectly funding Iran's war effort as well. 

[u/bucketsoffunk → u/hyperiongate]

Probably just an excuse to further restrict Aid to Ukraine, and then they'll deploy US forces to Russia "to protect the fuel supply".

[u/Royal-Hunter3892]

Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Wait so any country purchasing Russian energy will be punished and slappped 100% tarrifs , because they are funding Russia's war but US can purchase it as per its convenience ?

Its not just hypocrisy it's on your face kind of hypocrisy.

[u/GlorifiedPlumber → u/Royal-Hunter3892]

Let's use 7.4 barrels per MT as a conversion, so ~3.7 million barrels in November and ~7.4 million barrels in December ("immediately there-after" is sus, so let's call it a month.

Let's assume it's all transportation based diesel (remember Diesel is a range that can be many other things).

US diesel per day consumption for transportation diesel is ~3 million barrels per day.

So, for people doing accounting here, Judas has sold you out for ~1/2 a day of US demand in October, 1 day of demand in November, and 2 days of demand in December.

What I want to know is how this fuel is going to get here. What shipping company or unloading terminal in the US in their right mind wants to touch this. Or is this all a paper transaction and no physical fuel exchanges hands? Like how would people even know.

What I am laughing at, is like okay let's say there's a tanker READY TO GO... ready to be filled, sitting in a russian port. That's what, 25-35 days to get from there to here, and unload? And that's at an east coast port? Add several days for gulf coast?

The whole "right away" part of this, and 300,000 tons, makes me think there is literally a fleet of refined product carriers sitting just outside a US port somewhere, RIGHT NOW.

I am curious what % of their online capacity this represents... if true at nameplate values.

[u/Famous-Ninja-3068 → u/GlorifiedPlumber]

Oh, no, Russia doesn't have diesel to spare, US won't get anything.

But, Trump probably pre-paid for it.

[u/Yougotanyofthat → u/Royal-Hunter3892]

I thought we were pumping so much oil out of Texas?? What happened to that?

[u/TieSea → u/Yougotanyofthat]

There's also all that oil you stole from Venezuela. What happened to that. (cdn here)

[u/ThreeLeggedMare → u/TieSea]

It's heavy sour crude that's arduous to refine and very hard to store, and a significant portion of whatever proceeds it generates are going directly to the Pentagon.

Predicated on anyone actually refining it, it's apparently literally the worst oil there is

[u/Cassin1306 → u/ThreeLeggedMare]

So, why steal it if it's not good ?

Ah, yes, because it was easy, sorry.

[u/Mysterious-Lie-1944 → u/Cassin1306]

Our country is run by kleptomaniacs. Trump would snatch a $20 out of a single mom's wallet just to throw it away

[u/orbital_narwhal → u/Yougotanyofthat]

There is no oil shortage. There's a shortage of fuel (or at least certain highly sought fuels) based on refined oil. Pumping more oil out of U. S. soil won't result in additional means to refine it.

[u/boot2skull → u/Royal-Hunter3892]

See, you’re supposed to be focused on the gas prices and reserve shortages. Trump is fixing a problem! Nevermind looking idiotic on the global stage and helping an ally, err enemy.

[u/sergiosgc → u/boot2skull]

And to top it all, this is for a day's worth of diesel consumption

[u/eneka → u/Royal-Hunter3892]

it's ok we'll just tariff ourselves. unlimited money hack!

[u/yourpseudonymsucks → u/Royal-Hunter3892]

People say the worst thing is the hypocrisy.
I disagree.
I think it’s the raping.

[u/SwimmingStunning9572]

The Trump administration is now negotiating a multibillion-dollar Russian oil deal while Putin's forces commit war crimes in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Rubio talks about sanctioning the ICC. Americans, please vote this MAGA mafia out.

[u/_Kramerica_ → u/SwimmingStunning9572]

As somebody who has voted against his ass 3 fucking times, I’m tired. We’re tired. I’ve spent SO much time trying to convince friends/family to not support or vote for him and I don’t think I’ve even made a dent. I don’t get it…

[u/Alone_Donkey9656 → u/_Kramerica_]

Better use of energy would be to try to convince non-voters in your life to actually vote.

[u/DrummingUpNumbers → u/_Kramerica_]

Abandon them.

I see this sentiment across Reddit and barely any Americans refuse to cut off the worst people out of their life.

If they want to be an ignorant racist hell-bent on destruction. Cut them off. They don't face any consequences except "I've tried to talk to them and they don't listen". It's pathetic lol 

[u/SkivvySkidmarks → u/SwimmingStunning9572]

What do you mean "talk about?" ICC judges have been personally sanctioned for over a year.

[u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Ah so helping russia directly now

[u/Adrian915 → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

That was always his plan and half of Americans have lost the plot it seems.

[u/kyach25 → u/Adrian915]

The party that was so fond of tossing McCarthyism around now openly funding their main adversary. Can't make it up

[u/SanchoPandas → u/kyach25]

We’re trapped in the upside down world.

[u/Rammjack → u/Adrian915]

They haven't lost the plot .....they've lost their fucking minds

[u/BigDaddy0790 → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

I like how the puts it as “Russia agreed”

Of course they fucking agreed, their shit was sanctioned since 2022 and they were dying to start selling it again to fund their war effort.

Trump playing it off as if he made some good deal as usual. Fucking pathetic.

[u/hn-416 → u/BigDaddy0790]

Not pathetic. It's deadly. For the 550 M people in Europe. Look at Ukraine. And their sacrifices.

[u/True_Window_9389 → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

The funny thing is, Putin still hates us. As much as Trump tries to cozy up to him, Putin would love to see America collapse and will continue his efforts to push us there.

It’s one thing to try to play nice with an adversary to cool tensions, but that’ll never happen with Russia, at least as long as Putin and likeminded tyrants are in power. This is Trump being a Neville Chamberlain.

[u/Gahera → u/True_Window_9389]

You’re looking at this from the surface level. Clearly, Trump is a Russian asset meant to disrupt the USA. This is what losing the Cold War after everyone thought it was over looks like. Looks at all his actions from the angle that he is there to weaken the US and a lot of his decisions makes more sense.

[u/hn-416 → u/Gahera]

Basically, yes. But in putler's own words, the Cold War never ended.

We are seeing the effects of this in Europe today, in real time.

[u/Two_shirt_Jerry → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Why does inevitable_butthole and this photo keep appearing every where I go on Reddit

[u/ThePuceGuardian → u/Two_shirt_Jerry]

I mean, it doesn't say 'easily_avoidable_butthole', does it?

[u/pm_me_your_f4u]

USA please fix and clean your house.

It's a disgusting mess

[u/player_zero_ → u/pm_me_your_f4u]

We're all just watching a fat fuck make every normal person's life worse.

I'm thousands of miles away from the fat fuck in question as well.

[u/Madgick → u/player_zero_]

My mortgage is about to take a giant leap thanks to this moron half way a world away.

Interest rates were on a lovely downward trend and then Mr NoMoreWars decided he wanted loads more wars. Orange moron.

[u/mrekted → u/Madgick]

The rest of us sure did screw up by hitching our economic wagons to the Americans.

Oh well, lesson learned.

[u/Defiant-Plane4557 → u/mrekted]

Don't forget oil. Being addicted to fossils has enabled the worst pieces of shits in the world to ruin everything for everyone.

[u/vipros42 → u/player_zero_]

Don't forget that he is also a rapist pedo

[u/Hippies_are_Dumb → u/pm_me_your_f4u]

You just don't understand. TRANS WOMEN IN SPORTS. 

/s

[u/mangalore-x_x → u/Hippies_are_Dumb]

more importantly: She had a weird laugh!

apparently a viable argument to vote for a pedophile felon for many...

[u/fryswitdat → u/mangalore-x_x]

And I was told she was dumb (it has a "b" at the end, a lot of people don't know that), even though she has a law degree. That's why they voted for MrCrapPants.

[u/Known_Crab1059 → u/Hippies_are_Dumb]

Obama literally wore a tan suit, what could be worse?

[u/gnarkill3332 → u/Known_Crab1059]

dijon. mustard.

[u/TiggTigg07 → u/pm_me_your_f4u]

Yes, as a Canadian&neighbour…the stink from your mess is getting beyond vile.

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/pm_me_your_f4u]

A lot of us are trying. Unfortunately a third of us don't care another third are actively trying to burn the house down with everyone in it.

[u/Rokea-x → u/pm_me_your_f4u]

Seriously. France over there is trashing half a Paris for better student conditions.

Americans are where? I would have hoped for millions in front of the white house by now.

Edit: thanks for the award! I hope the reckoning is coming

[u/Blue-snow]

Trump buying diesel fuel from Russia, directly funding their war against Ukraine. Dispicable.

[u/Ok_Aspect2804]

300,000 tons is roughly 2.2 million barrels — only about half a day of total U.S. distillate use.

Strait is still closed and inflation/gas prices continue to rise.

Thank you Donald Trump, so much winning!

[u/pimparo0 → u/Ok_Aspect2804]

Omg he really thinks that's some kind of a great deal doesn't he. 

[u/JPMoney81 → u/pimparo0]

He thinks it will sound good enough to sway voters in the mid terms.

[u/pimparo0 → u/JPMoney81]

At this point he's so far in the hole it won't help other than some red states maybe, which unfortunately includes mine. 

[u/tankiolegend → u/JPMoney81]

It'll work they'll have no frame for how little this is and it's big numbers so must be a massive impact right?

[u/Corpus76 → u/Ok_Aspect2804]

The important part is giving Russia a cash injection.

[u/green_flash → u/Ok_Aspect2804]

It's also just slightly over 1 billion US dollars, so doesn't help Putin much either.

I guess there's some other strategy behind this nonsense. Maybe when Ukraine attacks a Russian oil refinery again, Trump will claim that it was a direct attack against the US and start sanctioning Ukraine or some bullshit like that.

[u/ontariopiper]

You mean Russia, the country everyone in the West has sanctioned, Russia??

How does the US justify this?

[u/ThreeLeggedMare → u/ontariopiper]

That's the trick, they don't have to. This guy just grabs em by the petroleussy

[u/SuicidalChair → u/ontariopiper]

Money!

[u/ZerochildX23]

Ukraine needs to ratchet up the strikes on Russia's refineries in that case. Fuck Putin, fuck the Felon, and fuck their supporters.

[u/thalassicus]

Helps Russia... Check!
Antagonizes our allies.. Check!
Reduces the trustworthiness of the United States... Check!

Not a Russian asset at all.

[u/inbalboa]

But Russia doesn't even have enough for itself.

[u/j4_jjjj → u/inbalboa]

Its just a way to funnel money to Putin from his Puppet-In-Chief

[u/HGpennypacker → u/j4_jjjj]

It's also a way to beg to voters before midterms that the current administration isn't to blame for the massive spike in fuel costs.

[u/Staav → u/j4_jjjj]

And further weaken the US economy and international relations at the same time.

[u/Glum-Breadfruit-6421 → u/inbalboa]

How are we even talking about this bullshit. They’re buying oil themselves, no diesel at the pumps but Pukin is going to give that orange fuck diesel. You have to be dumber that’s that fucker to believe this.

[u/ManWhoSoldTheWorld01 → u/Glum-Breadfruit-6421]

Clearly the USA will buy from Russia at a premium, then Russia will buy it elsewhere at market price. Russia keeps the difference.

[u/Caymonki → u/Glum-Breadfruit-6421]

It’s a great way to funnel money quickly to Russia, before the midterms. It’s not great for America so it will probably happen, a few people will get wealthier and that’s good enough for Republicans.

[u/CaptainCookingCock → u/inbalboa]

Perfect. So Trump is just sending money.

[u/_ianisalifestyle_]

Australian here .. I'd rather pay the higher price caused by the collective fuckery of Putin, Trump and Netanyahu than bankroll Russia's war.

And I'd strongly prefer these three war criminals hadn't fucked everyone in the first place.

[u/ShadowPostr → u/_ianisalifestyle_]

Canuck here. Can you imagine pretending "everything is fine. Here, have a few days of blood diesel. See? I fixed the problem!"

[u/PloppyTheSpaceship → u/_ianisalifestyle_]

Another Australian here - agreed. I hope every other country refuses to accept this diesel.

[u/SnooPuppers8698]

millions of tons wont put a dent in prices, but it sure does make trump look like a fucking idiot piece of shit

[u/Jester1525 → u/SnooPuppers8698]

Mr Global did a post about it.. He said the reason they're saying 'tons' instead of barrels is that it sounds like more diesel than it is..

This is about 18 minutes worth of diesel across the country.. that's it..

[u/So_HauserAspen → u/Jester1525]

It's roughly 30 hours of fuel, but totally agree that it's to obfuscate that fact. 

[u/Primsun → u/SnooPuppers8698]

I am more curious where Putin is getting it given Russia already has a shortage themselves from Ukrainian refinery hits.

[u/wbruce098 → u/Primsun]

They’ll sell it to trump and use the marked up price from the no bid contract to buy cheaper oil from Iran, who is happy to sell to Russia and China.

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

So that's why he told Zelenskyy to stop striking Russian diesel.

Look how low the US and Trump have gotten

[u/flea-ish]

… Americans… what the hell are you folks actually doing?
Aligning yourselves with your historical foes (Putin, Xi) and dipping your toes into being a fascist dictatorship? That’s insane, you’re the land of the free and home of the brave, and I don’t see you doing much. Decades of 2A blabber about having to keep all your guns real handy so you can overthrow an oppressive government.. look at you now.
That’s absolutely not the USA I grew up with. It’s not who I thought you were, and I sincerely hope you can come back from this. I don’t think it’s a given that you will.

[u/Trap_Masters → u/flea-ish]

I mean let's be honest, 99% of these 2A fanatics are just tough guy larpers who will fold and start bootlicking at the first sign of pressure. They only like to pretend to be tough.

[u/DMTraveler33 → u/Trap_Masters]

They're fucking brainwashed into thinking they need guns to use against liberals, antifascists, immigrants, and lgbtq people. Not a single one of them thinks they need it for their government.

[u/Dusty_Negatives → u/DMTraveler33]

Only against dem government lol.

[u/bald_molfar → u/Trap_Masters]

99% of these 2A fanatics are just tough guy larpers who will fold and start bootlicking at the first sign of pressure

They already did.

[u/EastfrisianGuy → u/flea-ish]

I almost guarantee you its a ploy. Russia wants to deliver (but actually doesn't) but the bad Ukrainians bomb the refineries, so Russia can't deliver it anymore, thanks to Ukraine. And then they can say that Ukraine is at fault for the high prices to try to alter the opinion about Ukraine even more.

[u/hauntingdreamspace → u/EastfrisianGuy]

Russia's economy is in shambles, they themselves are queuing for petrol and importing refined petroleum from south Korea and India. I'm sure they desperately want to make this sale but if they can't even meet domestic demand, they definitely can't afford to export anything to the US.

I'm sure the Americans know all that, which means it's exactly like you said, political theatre to set the stage for blaming Ukraine.

[u/jihvamuliya → u/flea-ish]

land of the free and home of the brave

It's the land of hypocrisy and bigotry who have deluded themselves of their greatness

[u/Hege_Knight → u/flea-ish]

It turns out it was the America you grew up with, it just wasn’t the one you imagined, propaganda works. I was a sucker too.

[u/TheJeyK → u/flea-ish]

Seems like owning guns actually turn people into more of a coward. France has gun control and they go out and actually protest, even if I may not always agree with the reasoning or methods. My own country has gun control but people also go out and perform strikes and protests against the government

[u/top-potatoad → u/TheJeyK]

Every gun guy I know is a massive pussy

[u/Rawkzo → u/flea-ish]

Media literacy is dead and billionaire oligarchs are getting what they want. Critical mass uninformed, uneducated and unmotivated to fix things. It’s been weird moving from a state with educational standards to one where voters can’t even organize to pass an over ride to fund schools.

[u/emorazes]

How fucking low have you fallen, Americans..

[u/Least-Design-6873 → u/emorazes]

Ok but have you considered how much worse it all would be if they had elected…..a woman?!

Thank god America decided they’d rather commit suicide as a nation.

[u/ooooogirlshedonealre → u/emorazes]

You would think we hit bottom, but I have news for you....

[u/Mindless-Support-451]

Americans, I despise you for the moron whom you let to come to power.
Never has USA looked so weak and miserable.

[u/MrFilkor → u/Mindless-Support-451]

Promises to stop all wars, then starts a war with Iran, gets low on oil, buys diesel from Russia fueling the war in Ukraine, which he promised he would stop in 24 hours.

[u/GaryTheRetard]

Im not sure if I should be angry at Trump administration or the American people anymore.

[u/iDabGlobzilla → u/GaryTheRetard]

Both, sadly. My countrymen are gullible and easily led astray. Every day feels like a gut punch.

[u/marxsmarks → u/GaryTheRetard]

A lot of people won't like hearing it but the blame should fall on a the people in a country with a democratic system. Trump is a symptom not a cause.

[u/Dense_Pasttime_3114 → u/GaryTheRetard]

Both are at fault

[u/ARazorbacks]

This is the epitome of Trump’s Art of the Deal. 

• 300k barrels tons is a paltry amount. The US goes through more than this in a single day. 
• The US is abandoning its own sanctions to do this. 
• The US is funding the opposing side of a war we’ve invested in through this purchase. 
• The US is yet again aligning itself with its historical foreign adversaries against its historical allies. 
• And after all of those L’s, Russia has lost a shit load of their own refining capacity in this war, something like 40%-50% in the Moscow region alone. They are not going to ship the fuel they need to run their own trucks on. 

Trump is throwing the United States in the dumpster yet again and will get nothing in return for it. 

Donald Trump’s Art of the Deal, everyone. 

MAGA really are the dumbest mother fuckers to have ever walked the Earth. 

Edit: Barrels to tons. Message literally does not change. 

[u/CsLunar]

Americans who voted trump, You have ukrainian blood on your hands. Shame on you.

[u/_Kramerica_ → u/CsLunar]

They wouldn’t care, they have their own families blood on their hands cuz a large majority of them refused vaccines or social distancing protocols to slow covid down and they just helped that shit spread.

[u/CsLunar → u/_Kramerica_]

It's wild, every single day I read trump did this trump did that.
honestly exhausting.
I really don't understand how the hell there is even a single republican vote left.

[u/ahushedlocus → u/CsLunar]

"I love the uneducated!"

[u/rooplstilskin → u/CsLunar]

Trumps dismissal of USAID is calculated to have 30 million more deaths by 2030.

Its way more than Ukrainian blood on these fucking morons hands.

[u/K1ngofnoth1ng]

Hasn’t he been screaming at and tariffing countries for buying fuel from Russia for the last two years?

[u/Friendly_Average_824 → u/K1ngofnoth1ng]

Yeah I definitely remember that. 🤔

[u/iCynr]

I thought Russia had to ship diesel from Korea recently because they were low

[u/Undeadmuffin18 → u/iCynr]

And India, they literally ship crude there to re-import the diesel

[u/SameBodybuilder3263]

That disgusting Fat Fuck is a sellout. Lining his pockets with Russian money. Even at his son’s wedding.

[u/-PM_ME_YOUR_TACOS-]

This guy is a Russian fucking asset. 

[u/TemporarySun314]

So Ukrainians now have to suffer, because Americans can't stand diesel prices of more than 1.50€/l with their ineffecient cars, and Americans needed to start their own war, which fucked up the global economy even more

[u/Electrifying2017 → u/TemporarySun314]

More like a wealth transfer to Russia for nothing in return.

[u/Foamrocket66]

So Americans are funding the bullets killing innocent Ukrainians? The fall of an empire.

[u/big-papito]

Bro, Russia does not have enough diesel for the home market, moron.

[u/RangeCreed]

So what happens if Ukraine strikes a tanker outbound to the USA? I imagine Trump would have a full meltdown yes?

[u/abbadun]

There it is, America's final backstab to Ukraine, Russia will receive a massive flow of financial stimulus, completely undermining Ukraine's economic pressure campaign. You can't trust Americans to be your ally, they will sell you out as soon as it's convenient for them.

[u/Xirax]

Wonder how much of that is a lie. Russia doesn't have enough fuel to export.

[u/ToxicToddler → u/Xirax]

300k tons is 14 hours worth of diesel for the US

[u/Wow_Many_Tomato_WMT → u/ToxicToddler]

Haha as much as they want to obfuscate it’s black and white in the data. They scared. The rich I mean, collapsing. Keep them consolidating power cause it’s easier to redistribute 1% of all the wealth.

[u/DeaddyRuxpin → u/Xirax]

I’m sure the part where Trump gave Russia a bunch of our tax dollars is true.

[u/HeatWaveToTheCrowd]

Grandpa is using your tax dollars to fund the war against Ukraine, while simultaneously backing Ukraine against papa Puttn.

[u/pierdola91 → u/HeatWaveToTheCrowd]

He hasn’t given Ukraine a cent of aid since he came to power in 2025. 

He’s just a straight up traitor 

[u/animal-1983 → u/pierdola91]

He’s even broken the law by refusing to send the aid already paid for from the Biden administration. That aid was required by law to have been sent.

[u/Rocky0354]

In return, Trump will continue to support Putin in his war against Ukraine

[u/RicardoNurein]

Follow the law.

I thought we sanctions on Russia.

Release the Epstein files.

[u/Splashadian]

Traitorous project 2025 nonsense! Ya'll should be ashamed for giving that movement power and control.

[u/Shoddy_Level2314]

America now needs to be "rescued" by Russia? Uff... Trump is really scared of the midterms it seems

[u/anduril12]

Traitor to humanity. He’s committing treason against the very moral fabric of society.

[u/micahld]

The United States is an organized crime; anyone busy convincing you otherwise is turning a profit.

[u/0815facts_fun_]

Russia has not enough Diesel they have to buy from india,china and korea

[u/AngryTomJoad]

when the big beautiful obit drops and proof comes out he was wholly owned by putin do you think the gop will care at all?

unbelievable this is allowed to continue

what a sham america is

[u/notevenfire → u/AngryTomJoad]

They will only care if the people care.

The people don’t care. They can complain, whine about how terrible this all is. But what is the general pop actually doing to put pressure on their reps?

Why are they so brazen right now? They aren’t getting any push back beyond people being like “it’s getting bad guys”

The mid terms are going to be very telling of how America responds to all of this bullshit that he has done. I am not optimistic.

[u/DistinctlyIrish]

Is this the same Russia that can't provide enough fuel for its own fucking people?

[u/zeusmeister → u/[deleted]]

It’s not even worth finding out. He said tons instead of barrels because this is barely a day or two of world usage of diesel. This is a nothing burger in terms of alleviating prices.

[u/ScottOld]

Maybe Ukraine can finish off the refineries

[u/ISuckAtFunny]

So when are we marching to the capitol? This shit is out of control

[u/DangerDarrin]

Hahaha, sureeeeee. With half of Russia's refineries not operational. Makes sense. Oh well, I needed a good laugh today

[u/Xx_Kronik_xX]

It's time for UK/Europe to cut ties with the US entirely. Not only are they an unreliable ally, but they are also incompetent as fuck.

[u/mrchuckles5]

Meanwhile footage of Russia bombing a kindergarten was just posted today.

[u/Icy-Manufacturer5646]

Just as always US is just the most plain evil country in the world this and with the palestinians just confirms it

[u/z_e_quigley]

GET THIS GUY THE FUCK OUT OF OFFICE

[u/zedascouves1985]

What did Putin gets in exchange for this? We''ll find out in weeks. Putin is not big hearted and doesn't give stuff for free

[u/_coyotes_ → u/zedascouves1985]

To be honest, it’s nothing. Simple reason being, he’s not telling the truth.

Today is a Friday, you ever notice how he makes big claims on Friday before the weekend that affects the stock market so he and his billionaire buddies can cash in? There is no magical extra deal for diesel he struck with Russia. Russia cannot afford to part with diesel while its refineries are being attacked by Ukranian drones. How would Putin and his cronies sell that to the public? We’re in a war where our fuel infrastructure is being attacked so we decided to sell our finite resources to our biggest enemy. Not to mention, with Russia’s recent postering, it appears they’re trying to make moves on the Baltic states to test NATO’s resolve. America isn’t going to simply hand Ukraine over to Russia in exchange for diesel because that would be catastrophic for the Republican party going into the midterms.

Remember when he said the US was going to stop getting its potash from Canada and instead get from Belarus? Then that all fell apart because Belarus doesn’t have nearly enough to meet America’s supply and demand and only Canada does, so he backed down and accepted that the US will still have to rely on Canada for potash, and then now just a couple weeks later Elon is openly advocating for Alberta and Saskatchewan (two provinces that contribute greatly to potash) to secede?

[u/yuri_dr]

What a fucking imbecile, just unbelievable

[u/Training_Ruin3151]

Id just like to point out this is actually the real legal definition of treason as verbatim in the american constitution.

Ive been openly calling trump a traitor since 2016 and republiclansman would always "bhut uhm akchusally" about the definition(because America's definition of treason is different then the real definition specifically to protect traitors).

But anyways this actually verbatim in the constitution treason. No iffs or buts about it.

[u/Various-Following-82]

That what happens after you won the war with Iran 🤣 15 times just last week 🤣

[u/LMch2021]

USA is EXPORTING diesel fuel right now.

Trump could just tell oil companies to lower the price of diesel fuel sold to consumers in USA and sell the rest at higher price to get even.

But he's an irrational coward, he's always ready to shaft those that are not uber rich, but he's very afraid of those he believes are "powerful" (either "old money" or people like Putin).

[u/TiePrestigious7265]

Countdown: 25 days till midterms.

[u/Daguse0]

Lol Russia, who currently is having supply issues is going to supply US with diesel.

At this point Trump has moved from puppet to just openly pro Russia.

[u/greenjelliebeans]

The US in bed with Russia? who could've ever predicted that? lol

[u/My_alias_is_too_lon]

... I hate this.

I don't want us supporting another authoritarian psychopath.

These midterms better fucking be the last nail in that orange fuck's (political) coffin...

[u/Byaaahhh]

When did we start measuring diesel in tonnage? What a buffoon!

[u/xondk]

With all we hear Trump doing, I must admit, I cannot imagine what he is doing that does not get the news.

How will the company look when someone else gets the keys, and actually looks inside.

[u/Alaksande]

US(SR)

[u/Tribalbob]

I look forward to seeing the absolute backlash to this on the conservative sub.

... oh wait.

[u/MechaD13579]

And then, when Ukraine attacks the refineries to slow Russia’s war effort and invasion force against them they’ll be viewed as a bad guys.

[u/dragnabbit]

I checked out the details. In October, Russia will be delivering enough diesel to supply American diesel demand for -- wait for it-- 14 HOURS!

Woo hoo! That'll fix those diesel prices before the election.

[u/Melstead]

Fuck Russia. 

Sell your diesel car and buy electric 

[u/YuriusSinisterClown]

Trading with a terrorist state. Disgusting.
