Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.
Ukraine’s long-range strikes have been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry for months, which Kyiv says both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s more than four-year-old invasion of its neighbor.
The Ukrainian drone campaign has caused fuel rationing across Russia, despite the country being a key oil and gas exporter. Other Ukrainian strikes targeted major Russian online retailers, bringing the war ever closer to the public.
Lol the shortage is caused by starting a war with Iran
Hit Russia harder Ukraine, make sure that they remember this the next time they think of invading!
Make them give up thr nuclear weapons.
Well, actually, the diesel thing started with the Ukraine war because Russia is a massive diesel producer and the sanctions drove diesel prices up starting 3 years ago.
lol
To be fair, this graph doesn’t really counter the above comment… you’d need a graph from ~2020 (or before) to disprove their comment around prices rising 3 years ago.
Of course it doesn’t, because they’re being disengenuous; retail diesel was under $2 in 2021.
2021 was also just pulling out of the pandemic that sent oil prices negative for a while because demand destruction was so radical. I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.
Better look is here for complete data back to 1990… Diesel was pretty stable mostly through 2012 to 2020 at around $3/USD. It dropped during the pandemic, then spiked again after Russia’s invasion. It was slowly returning to an average baseline before Trump stuck his dick in it though.
So it looks stable until all of the US wars in the middle east around 2000s
Crazy how that works! It’s Republicans all the way down.

That sounds like he does not have the cards if he has to beg like this.
Donny boy’s hand: 2♣, 🟥, 🦤, 2+2=, Four Seasons Landscaping 📇
I’m pretty sure that’s not a winning hand.
He might have them after the mid terms, but the libs keep scalping them with the magic ones because they hate baby Jesus
Shut the FUCK UP, DONNIE! YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMNED ELEMENT!
Unfortunately he could have a colouring book with crayons and still not be in any element he’s qualified for.
Oh this is the guy slightly half of actual participating voters in that country voted for too. Though I do think there’s a good chance not all totals were valid, every fucking swing state? Even their God Reagan didn’t get that blowout, but whatever their system that they decided to fuck over the world with. Good luck on any deals once the orange turd has been flushed.
The conservative movement has spent decades cultivating plyable idiots for the purpose of enriching the few in charge. I sometimes wonder if they were caught off guard by how deeply stupid their base is.
Instead of calling on Russia to end the war which would also stop the attacks and have the benefit of stopping the fucking killing of families and shit
Fuck that. Slava ukraini.
Uhh was America buying Russian petroleum? Thought there was an embargo?
Deisel is a resource used globally. The US doesn’t have to be purchasing Russian oil for Russian supplies to impact oil prices in the US.
It’s also why the whole argument about drilling in the US to make oil cheaper falls apart. Oil from Venezuala, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Texas, Trinidad, Abu Dhabi, or Alaska all end up in the same international commodity markets.
Halt strikes on Iran and you’ll get more supply
a few years back we were exporting oil. us doesn’t need their supply. fracking boom. strait is just driving up insurance and fees across the board. oil co’s always looking for excuse to jack up prices. 🛢️

100% this. At this point all the “ohh, but don’t talk about (shitty thing The Dictator did this week), talk about the Epstein files” bullshit is just a smoothly running distraction campaign that works for MAGA.
American’s do not care that Trump is a rapist and a paedophile. They made their peace with that long ago and elected him anyway.
Honestly, I can’t even understand the motivation. “Ohh, if only the Great American People knew he diddled kids, we’d get rid of him. The millions of dead overseas (between wars started or extended and USAID), the rebuilding of the US Federal machine as a tool of fascist oppression, state control of media, masked goons disappearing people in the street, all of that stuff we’re pretty fine with, but diddling some white blonde kids is where we draw the line.” Do you think this makes you look good?
The problem with the Epstein files is that it doesn’t just list Trump as a participant. That’s why he used it as a bluff that helped him get reelected.
The Democrat party didn’t release those files either and they won’t release them any more than the files already are until a whole lot of ancient influential fucks kick the bucket.
I’ve already seen people on Facebook saying “I don’t care if he’s a pedo as long as he deports all the criminals”, and things can get even worse on the front of defending Trump…
Someone always comes along with almost exactly this reply, as if its a valid reason to keep hiding whichever gross pedo evidence is in question.
Its a valid point though, there is enough out there now to bury anyone in a real nation. In the us they have punished the victims and paid the perpetrators. Its not as if they should not release more info, more that just releasing it does nothing if no charges are laid.
Like most presidents, Trump’s term will end with a helicopter ride.
Except it won’t be Marine One.
Trump will be evacuated from the White House by an FSB extraction helicopter.
1st term i was hoping a sub would pick him up from Fla. and then sink. ➖
Yeah, I figure as soon as he is out of office he will vanish to somewhere without extradition.
America is super tough on tgeir criminal leaders i heard
This is too fuckin funny man. This gives me a tremendous amount of joy, and strengthens my support for the Ukrainian war effort. Keep going Volodymyr!
No one listens to chump anymore. It’s lake Ontario forever.
he called for a strait to open on his way to the golf course
Did it open?
The golf course? Yes.
did diesel strikes stop? Biden’s fault. 🌮 🤡 is teed off. ⛳
Bro, what?
