  This is just going to speed up the depletion of our strategic reserves. Trump is going to pull so much out of the SPR that he is going to cause the salt caves they used to store it to collapse. It’s a matter of when not if at this point and then that reserve is gone there will be no more safety valve and the US will not have oil reserves for…

  I do hope they drag their feet just long enough to delay any price declines until after the U.S. elections, for their own sake.

  🚨 President Donald Trump says no diesel export ban is going forward after Europe agrees to release heavily stocked diesel. The G7 commits to a coordinated release of 100 million barrels of oil and diesel over four months, with a substantial diesel release in the first 20 days.

  With fuel prices up, G7 countries agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil and fuel products from strategic reserves over four months. They and their partners plan to release significant amounts of diesel in the first 20 days. https:// meduza.io/en/news/2026/10/02/g 7-to-release-100-million-barrels-of-oil-and-diesel-from-strategic-reserves

  Not I, my friend. I suggest you do some reading and take a much closer look at what has been happening in the US since Jan 2025 and how it follows the well researched and documented authoritarian takeover pattern. The competitive authoritarianism designation was made by experts in that field. Perhaps you've been away too long.

  Or we could use more electric vehicles (not Tesla though) and solar and wind power, right? # fucktrump EU ‘fully rejects’ US threat to ban diesel exports unless bloc releases more fuel stocks https://www. france24.com/en/europe/2026100 2-eu-fully-rejects-us-threat-to-ban-diesel-exports-unless-bloc-releases-more-fuel-stocks # johnmastodon

  Hindsight is 20/20. I don't think anyone in Europe wanted to risk it with a particularly harsher winter coming up, shadowed by the potential of Russian mobilisation in Ukraine. It became a a much realer threat once he started to single out Europe and it's nations for the diesel ban instead of blanket banning the entire world

  Reporter: Is a diesel export ban off the table now? Trump: It was never really ever on the table.

  The Trump administration is pressuring European capitals to release their emergency diesel supplies or else face a US diesel export ban, as the White House turns to coercion in efforts to tame surging fuel prices.

  I don’t and have never expected either Britain or France to use their nukes to protect Canada, which is why I want Canada to acquire nukes. However, I highly doubt the French or especially the UK would use their nukes to protect Europe, if they themselves were not under threat.

  🇺🇸🇪🇺 The G7 is cracking open the emergency reserves again, and this time 100 million barrels are coming out. It comes just a day after Trump's threat to stop U.S. diesel exports unless Germany and France started dipping into their emergency reserves. Diesel and crude will be

  So this is all made up or fake then https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2026/10/02/g7-leaders-statement-on-global-energy-security-and-market-stability/ Interesting and are you willing to put money behind that?

  EU member states are readying talks over a feared diesel shortage as surging prices drive major refiners to ban exports, moves that threaten economies worldwide.

  This is madness. The world is on the verge of a crisis, it's inevitable, but any attempts to postpone it will just make it worse when it finally happens. Trump: Yes, but it'll happen after the election!

  Though Europe was most vocal in its concerns, Goldman Sachs economists warned a US diesel ban risked lowering GDP across Latin America by around 1%. Read more:

  If the US banned exports, EU would have had to release reserves anyways. So it's either a choice between exportban+noreserves or just noreserves and EU choose the rational course of action.

  Misleading headline. The G7 scheduled this release 7 month ago, it has nothing to do with anything going on today it was planned way in advance.

  Canadians actually have self respect, that's the difference. Maybe it's a hockey thing, because I feel that the Finna are very similar.
