  Trump saves the day for Putin. Just as Ukraine was changing the direction of the war by inflicting real economic pain on Putin by hitting his oil refineries, Trump steps in and agrees to buy Russian diesel. Now Trump can say that Ukraine is bombing American interests and they

  Trump started a stupid & illegal war in Iran that has driven up diesel prices. Now he wants to bankroll Putin's illegal war against Ukraine by buying diesel from him. One strategic disaster after the next.

  Zelenskyy warned that allowing Russia to sell millions of tons of diesel to global markets would help fund its war against Ukraine, responding to Trump’s announcement of the proposed deal. “Gifts to Putin will not bring peace,” Zelenskyy said, urging Washington to maintain pressure on Moscow. https:// euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/09…

  I sure don't like the thought, but I hate it less than the alternative, because: For various reasons, I don't think Vance would be quite as bad of a president. He'd be operating under different circumstances. No US president has ever been removed from office via impeachment. But if Vance gets into office this way, then it's because that changed…

  Claude Malhuret Was Right about Trump. On Friday, at Trump's direction, the US Treasury issued a license waving Russian diesel back onto the world market, days after Russia killed dozens of Ukrainians, many of them children. It seems a good moment to revisit the speech in which

  We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

  Last time i checked they hit around 28 out of its 32 refineries, some hit as many as 15 times. Ukraine can bomb Russia 2500 km deep into its territory. Last time i also checked there was still huge ongoing fuel crisis in Russia. Since this war started, Ukraine is finally doing something that is not overblow and now it gets very little attention?

  Trump’s agreement with Putin over diesel is a Russia bailout, when it’s at the verge of economic collapse. Trump is working for Putin. Period.

  This is unreal. Weakens Ukraine (who with sufficient support could win the war) and for no good reason reverses long standing US policy. Cause for concern. ***** Trump strikes deal with Putin to get diesel in sharp reversal of US policy weeks before midterms

  Because exporting it earns more money. They don't give a damn about Americans. Trump could halt diesel exports, which would drive down domestic prices because the domestic market would be insulated from the global one. That would help Americans but reduce corporate profits so screw you. Consider yourself lucky oxygen is free, peasant. For now.

  Diferentes reacciones al principio de acuerdo entre Trump (de lo que dice a lo que pasa, siempre suele haber algo de diferencia) y Putin. Sea como sea, estupor en la UE 🇪🇺, malas caras y peores palabras en Ucrania 🇺🇦 La realidad económica y política es la que es. No se puede

  Trump announced a deal with Putin to sell 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel, potentially worth $7.24 billion, while easing US sanctions. The deal would boost Russia’s war finances and undermine Ukraine’s efforts to cut off revenues funding Russia’s invasion.

  Quorum in the house is 218 out of 450 (so less than 50%) And quorum in the senate is 51 How’s that math working out for you here… So they can sit out. And then the house and senate pass every stupid fucking thing that democrats refuse to get to a vote because they have enough votes to not let it get through…

  Trump ha tenido que arrastrarse para pedir a Putin que Rusia introduzca en el mercado millones de toneladas de diésel para aliviar la tensión mundial, actual y futura, con este combustible. Esto significa dos cosas: La primera, que el Estrecho de Ormuz lo controla Irán a pesar

  I hate that Americans voters will consider lower fuel prices sooner when casting their midterm votes than they'll consider America supporting fucking Russia but I know we aren't better than that, not anymore, so we'll see. Although it does remain to be seen if this even works, so there's that.
