    I love how he just shit in the mouth of everyone in Congress that voted to sanction Russia, and especially mocks Lindsey Graham because the bill was named in his memory.

    Holy shit, America is dead and we are living in it’s corpse. One of the craziest headlines in the past 150 years, Russia has been at odds on this matter for so long, and would only consider this where it has the upper hand. All the Ukrainian Nazi propaganda must be seething, they’ve been acting like Russia has no oil for years

      in the context of the rest of the rest of the post it reads like he’ll be giving Iran a nuke as part of this deal

    I wonder why he made this announcement on Friday, right before the market close. Usually Trump would wait until the weekend to do things that hurt the market, like doing new strikes on Iran or announcing new tariffs.

    If the diesel deal is intended to stabilize the markets, then why wouldn’t he announce on a Monday? Trump signed an executive order to allow trucks to use untaxed red-dyed diesel until the end of 2026.

    Why not announce the Russia oil deal on a Monday?

        That makes it more suspicious. Trump does even more fucked up things over 3 day weekends because the market is closed for longer.

    seems like a lot of diesel, but doesn’t RUS have its own inelastic needs. is this extra capacity they are opening up?

    im too lazy/tired rn to compare global consumption rates and put this into context, even assuming its true.

    Russia alone produced 84,5 million tons of diesel in 2025 and consumed 46 million tons, so 1,8 million tons of diesel announced here is a drop in the ocean.

    Do we think there was behind the scenes wheeling and dealing on Ukraine? Or does Russia just want the cash?
