Now I'm fully convinced...
This guy wants LA and San Diego nuked to kingdom come and allies with Russia. Either he's gone mad or he's a foreign asset. Probably both.

There's no way this affects prices before midterms, and certainly no chance it brings prices back down to preTrump War levels. Dudes just building the plane as it lands, lmao.
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.
Felt pretty open to me since at least 2015.
Arguably 1987.
Yeahhh isn't this like double treason or something?
Traitor.
Come on Zelenskyy, hit a few more of those Rusky refineries!
Ukraine has been killing it!
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.
Make no mistake this is a trick.
Russia HAS NO DIESEL TO EXPORT. They're importing at a huge government loss from India.

This fake deal accomplishes exactly two things:
The US is a NET EXPORTER of diesel. They don't need more fuel. The problem is the market price is increasing due to mostly Hormuz since Russian oil is sanctioned. All he's doing is lifting this sanction to pay Putin to buy arms. Stopping Putin from trading fuel for arms was the entire purpose of the sanctions in the first place.
Trump is a traitor.
yep. russia can't supply diesel to it's farmers so they can bring in the crops.
now they're gonna export hundreds of thousands of gallons?
HOW? How they fuck would this fuel get from the gas station that is russia to the US? LOL, Ukraine will just blow it up.
Here's the relevant truth posted about this on Trump's private social media:
https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/42215
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Everything about this site is disgusting and needs to be burned down.
Edit: we have the evidence. The legislative branch is spineless and the judiciary is out to lunch w the billionaires.
Everything about this site is disgusting and needs to be burned down.
Which site? Truth Social, or the unaffiliated site the commenter above you linked to? trumpstruth.org is a third party site that preserves Trump's posts where they won't get deleted and where people can link without giving traffic/ad revenue to the asshole.
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.
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.
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.
I knew China and North Korea was and that Trump has given total financial lifelines for Russia but what bombs has US given?
What are the chances Ukraine strikes Russian diesel reserves now?
They don’t strike reserves, they strike refining and delivery infrastructure.
Where are these reserves, and are they susceptible to attack?
It's probably too far underground for wayward drones to take out. There could be other ways though.
Some Ukranian drones might have something to say about this.
Let the mutherfuckers burn, burn motherfucker, burn!
I'm worried any US made equipment Ukraine uses is going to start malfunctioning if they attack refineries.
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.
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.
Oh good now my money can go towards killing innocent people in 2 different wars.
It was all a scam. Trump had just put sanctions on Russia. Putin then banned all diesel exports from Russia in response, even though they don’t have much thanks to Ukraine taking out refineries and storage. Putin wanted trump to lift those sanctions so he offered trump diesel russia doesn’t have in exchange for lifting the sanctiond trump just imposed
Played trump like a putz.
And if Dems win a majority of the midterms, boom, Russia cuts off diesel and he will pin the blame on Dems for the fuel crisis. Rural know-it-alls will claim it was "always the Dems' fault since March".
Zionists, Now Russian invaders. What other scum of the earth can we join forces with. We can help China murder Taiwan I guess.
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.
A deal was made close to an election. I’ve seen this movie before, and it didn’t end well.
Not enough diesel to matter to our prices, but a boon for Russia. Will probably use the money to help kill Americans too. Isn't there a sanction law on buying Russian fuel?
I have a more practical question: how is it supposed that diesel to be delivered if the refineries have been under pressure and the available fuel is not enough to fully supply the domestic needs?
Its simple! russia sells crude oil to India, India refines it and sells the diesel to russia, South Korea also sells some random shipments of diesel to russia, russia then sells it to the US!
Or something? I dunno. I'm confused about everything these days.
The President of the United States of America gives material aid to America’s enemies.
There is no United States of America, no America's enemies, no America's allies either. There is only Trump and amorphous, vain, mercenary and oblivious Trumpism sitting in a world of non-Trump fodder commodities.
Hmm, that sure sounds like treason to me. Back in my day the understanding was being treasonous could get you the death penalty.
What diesel? They lost half their refining capacity in the last year and don't even have enough diesel for their own usage.
They're planning on it never coming, then blaming it on the Dems after they win a bunch of seats in the midterms because of how abysmal everything is going under Trump.
Safe Republican areas already saw increases in primary turnout and swings of up to 40 points. Even with the fuckery they know theyre going to lose and are planning on trying to pin the blame wherever they can.
Trump admin is threatening to withdraw support to Ukraine if they continue strikes on oil industry.
Europe has been planning for this for a while now. It's going to suck but once it's clear the midterms are compromised, Trump can and will throw Ukraine fully under the bus, no more pretense.
It adds up to me.....it's why Putin hasn't given up (he knows his opportunity is coming), why Trump is not acting like the midterms matter at all, why Europe has been moving to a war footing (Russia has no momentum, so there's obviously an inflection point coming).
Is it really that hard to believe? I've been sure of this for well over a year (midterms being ignored/illegitimate, MAGA taking full power afterward). I really, really hope I'm wrong and will admit my ignorance if I am, but I just don't see any other logical outcome that doesn't involve something like a friendly coup or other black swan event
I would love it for European NATO countries to start seizing Russian tankers bound for America.
Inaccurate headline.
Trump said that stuff. No one else has confirmed it. He says a lot of stuff that ends up wrong or a lie. Statistically, believing him is the only way to mess this up.
There's literally Russian tanker entering USA waters. In order to get there now, the ship must have left the port weeks ago so the decision was made even earlier.
The story went in a same way when USA decided to buy belorussian fertilizer. Ship went ahead when the white house was in deep denial only to revert course a day or so before she hit the USA waters.
True but given that the American institutions bowed down to Trump, the sanctions on Russia will be relieved.
The timing is unbelievable.
Jokes. Its totally believable. That fat piece of shit doesn’t do anything for anyone but himself. This is all to manipulate votes.
And Americans just sit on their ass and shrug their shoulders. What a fucking joke.
America needs cheap oil because Trump fucked with Iran.
Iran shoots everything going through the straight. Trump buys diesel from Russia. Russia spends money to buy weapons in Iran. Iran spends these money to produce weapons. Iran keeps shooting everything going through straight.
... fucking winning eh?
