The Trump administration has urged Europe to release diesel reserves, saying U.S. consumers and businesses should not bear the burden of global supply disruptions.

Trump starts highly unpopular war

Gas prices soar

Trump begs Europe for help, saying "we shouldn't have consequences for my actions"

Don't do it Europe! I am a US citizen that drives a diesel vehicle and I urge you to tell the orange pedophile to fuck right off.. we need to suffer so enough people get fed up and destroy these moron republicans at the midterms so we can win our country back.

Hahahahaha

Why would Europe do anything to help this regime that has mocked them, made aggressive threats against their sovereignty and is funding far right movements in local elections. FAFO as the Americans like to say.

Europe should really stop listening to trump.

oh so now it's a war? if only somebody had the power to stop said war...

I can think of a better way to drive oil prices down. But it's not considered a High T move. So it'll never happen with this current president.

trump fucks the whole world for his own profit and makes enemies of everyone. Then he gets his minions to whine for help from the same countries/people he pissed on.

They start a US-Israel war in Iran. Close the strait

and now the Americans threatens Europe with an oil export ban

Americans used to be OK

This would have been the perfect time to say: No.

Have you even said thank you once?

NOW this racist authoritarian thieving administration needs Europe? Get fucked.

Ok, so EU releases. What did they get in return?

Lol why? Winter is just around the corner. They need those reserves. This sounds like a Russian directive. Ukraine is going to need that extra fuel to keep the heat on this winter.

They would be dumb to do anything Dump tells them to do.

This sounds like "leverage" to me.

If his aim is to enforce a fully protectionist policy for the US, and therefore make sure to degrade all partnerships, he is near success.

His claims all seems to go for isolationism and to bring back the situation as before the first world war... a country neutral and not involved in international business, where the richests are empowered as lords.

Here, he knows Europe won't give away its strategic stock. If he blocates trade with Europe, it would be on the two ways. And he may claim that it is Europe's fault, while making a big step toward isolationism.

This lends credence to the narrative that they aren't planning to stop the war. Cause the market would correct at the slightest whiff of peace. Perhaps the 2000-pound bombs being shipped to Israel are for Iran.

Fuck off you big nasty rapist
