Russia is having problems supplying itself with diesel due to how many of their refining capacity has been damaged by Ukraine.

The only effect of this will be an attempt to shift blame from Trump for the shortages and high costs of energy onto Ukraine for daring to defend themselves.

    Serious question. Does russia have enough diesel product to export? I thought they had to restrict exports due to refineries strikes

    Got to get those fuel prices down before the election!

    We’ll see if the American Public has learned anything in the past 10 years.

    Present company excluded of course.

    I would really hope this is the final straw for Americans to vote out every single Russia apologist out of office in the midterms, but if that had really been a dealbreaker for voters, Trump’s team probably wouldn’t have announced this in the first place. They know Americans care about gas prices more than foreign policy.

    The most upsetting part to me is that the G7 nations are releasing their fuel reserves and Trump is trying to give the credit to Russia.

    So we’re at the point where Trump is openly and actively undermining US policy again in exchange for Russia to swing the election in his favor. Got it.

    Ukraine and the Kurds. They fight our wars for us and betrayal is all they get for it. Ukraine should let every Iranian tanker through.

        Unfortunately, Russia like Iran will be able to use dumb missiles and destroy ukrainian energy infrastructure in winter. USA may have doomed Ukraine by not giving patriot missiles when there was a chance.

        Europe is about to experience a winter they haven’t experienced in generations… God speed friends

          Don’t lose hope. Ukraine will survive as long as Europe pays the bills to make up for Ukraine’s crippled economy. Russia works to end this by supporting AfD and National Rally and Reform UK, but European citizens still have an opportunity to prevent that.

    Oh man, guess who’s supplying Putin with bombs to stop Ukraine from bombing Russian oil refineries to protect themselves from Russia?

    America is officially a puppet state to Russia, but now with live streaming executions.

        What do you think Russia is going to do with the money to buy the fuel?

        The US may not be sending bombs directly, but that is 1000% where the money will go. Just because they’re not providing the weapons directly, that does not absolve them of involvement.

    1M tons of oil were going through Hormuz every day before the big orange boi decided to pop off with no plan.

    I am sure this will make a difference. 👍

    Performative horseshit instead of governance is the best the GOP can do.
