What an absolute bumbling chuckle-fuckhead, enabling the most vile reptile. And all to try and buy some mid-term relief for his parade of losers.

If this happened in a drama you'd laugh at the absurdity of it.

    What Russian diesel? They don't even have enough to supply their own country right now.

    They'd still sell us what little they have, just to have the cash to buy more bombs to throw at Ukraine.

    Especially considering they don't even make their own shit anymore, they scavenge electronics like Iraq pre 2000 to make their missiles and such. Reuters got their price list some years back. Smart fridges and shit like that. They used to make all of their own shit, but, turns out, fascists like putin are not great at running a country, only at quashing dissent.

    They have enough.

    We've been told that they will run out for five years. Still going.

    (they also won't run out of missiles and artillery shells, in spite of news stories to the contrary).

    They might run out in the future, who knows? We'll all be able to tell pretty quickly when they do, because Putin will die.

    Wow, this may be the worst thing that Trump has done politically in my opinion.

    Over 2 million in losses in Ukraine? I'm afraid to check the numbers again.

    All so we could fight with Iran for God knows how many years. The USA has gained absolutely nothing with Trump at the helm.

    God he's stupid. This is horrifying. Russia will get a massive cash infusion.

    I'd not say they've not gained anything. They've gained the reputation of a bad partner, a despotic state, authoritarianism, the failure to abide by their own constitution, and they've become a greater negative influence on the world. Oh, and it's now an open secret that they are actually run by Israel, not the other way around and that US citizens won't do anything about their government, and that the current administration doesn't care about the 1st, 4th, 6th, 14th, 15th, (19th probably) and 22nd amendments and will actively breach them with zero repercussions. And that the people/congress won't use the 2nd and/or 25th when it is actually appropriate to do so.

    Israel doesn't have enough money to own us, it's the same people who have always owned us. The investment companies that have been around since the slavery days, those very same financial interests (now much more massive and interconnected, they have grown like a cancer).

    They're international, they'll just as likely turn on Israel as the USA. I think that Beijing, China is going to be their next capital.

    We agree that they don't care about any of amendments, ; but I think the "they" is the Ds also.

    "The People" aren't a few million unified comparably-homogeneous colonists any more; it's now like the Roman Empire with many fractured interests, all in decline as our debt grows exponentially and inflation spirals.

    We're not hungry enough for prole revolt yet, but every year it ratchets up a notch. I am voting Democrat in a couple weeks, but I don't think they can fix it at this point. How? They can't even self-audit, the most basic of tasks that they should be able perform.

    If a company can't pass an audit, you charge the executives with crimes and dissolve the company.

    If you do everything someone (Israel) says, no matter who has the finances, you are their bitch. Yes, the US has more money and is more powerful but you're the bottom in this relationship.

    And yes, the whole US electoral system needs a complete overhaul. You don't even have a full democracy yet, it's pathetic.

    We don't do everything they say though.

    USA formed Israel for a reason. Once you understand what that reason is, their relationship becomes clear.

    You don't understand why Israel was formed... but I do.

    Nobody has a full democracy anywhere. Earth is pathetic.

    2nd only works with large numbers, and people are either too apathetic or scared to organize.

    Which renders the whole amendment pointless doesn't it. At least you can now safely justify that there's no reason to have all the guns so you can hand them and at least stop school shootings.

    USA arms the world, more weapons production than China, Russia, Germany, France and a couple more nations combined.

    You can't get rid of honey at the beehive. Guns are the USA's honey. Every state in the union is involved in arms production.

    Trump attacked Iran to create a fuel crisis to give him an excuse to end Russian oil sanctions

    Trump is a Russian asset, which makes US are serfs for Russia

    Trump blew bubba

    Putin isn’t Bubba, he’s another person Trump blew

    Trump is closeted bisexual and got into it with dudes at Epstein parties

    Epstein was one of the master of ceremonies for the secret society that controls all of us

    People are starting to notice The Society

    The Society is building AI in a last ditch effort to preserve their lifestyles at our expense

    I’m not suicidal

    • Iran is supported by Russia
    • USA attacks Iran, raising oil prices
    • USA desperate, strikes deal with Russia

    Yeah, they were buying a ton from Russia before Ukraine, then they sourced more from the US and India, then some dipshit started a war in Iran causing problems with supply chains.

    Where do you think India gets its diesel from?

    India refines it's own diesel using imported oil from a range of regional sources. Russia being a major source, and source of contention since the Ukraine conflict began.

    Right, so Europe went from buying Russian oil at market rates to buying it at a premium. I'm Indian, so I'm not exactly complaining about some companies here getting a little surprise profit, but I just don't understand the logic.
