    After yesterday, this prez admin has no incetive to spend time and money to placate the masses in any way, real or fake. Instead their interest lays in grifting as much as possible in the time they have left, and hurting Americans as much as possible because the pain will be ascribed to the democrats. So there was likely a phone call to Moscow - “Turn the diesel back.”

    It was all just a stunt for the election anyway. Now that it’s over, they don’t need it anymore and Trump can stop pretending he gives a shit about the fuel prices again.

      It’s not like importing a couple days’ worth of fuel was gonna change prices anyway. It was just a way to funnel money to daddy putin.

      Russia badly wanted to sell that oil. Local governors where already making noise that buyers were in for legal trouble and last night’s results put the final nail in the coffin.

      My first thought: that’s ridiculous…

      But then I recall the vile man has done lots of ridiculous stunts.

    Was never about the deisel. Was always about removing bipartisan sanctions from Pooty-poot to generate money for him to murder more children. Straight-up evil.

    I feel dirty even saying it, but it’s honestly pretty funny that Putin shipped 140,000 tonnes of diesel into the middle of the Atlantic just to pull a fake out move.

      they will have another buyer lined up probably in South America or Africa, where the sanctions aren’t as common

        Russia has had diesel shortages for months, that fuel will probably head straight back to Russia.

    I got banned on reddit when they left port for saying “sure would be a shame if something happened to it, and these losers driving diesel who voted for this get no relief”

    “Inciting violence” apparently.

    At least I get my wish. Funny that.

      I got banned from reddit for disagreeing with someone who wished Trump dead. I said I hopped he had a stroke and lived a long miserable life. “Inciting violence”. The guy who wished him dead was not banned.

        Well, there’s a lot of these ships going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen. I don’t want anyone thinking that tankers aren’t safe.
