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.

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

Wrong choice of words, but I think it’s pathetic as well.

Saying what I want fully about Trump and Putin would probably get me banned so I won’t, but yes, it’s absolutely deadly, and would mean US directly funding Russian war, which is insanity.

I wouldn’t be surprised for Trump to provide Putin with anti-air defenses for refineries next.

Chances are Russia didn't agree. Trump has a real habit of just announcing things that aren't happening.

It's not even much fuel. It's less than the US exports in a day. Diesel prices are more global than they are local and this amount is about 20 minutes worth.

This is pure optics during mid-terms.
