EU is going to buy Russian fuel from US companies lol
starting a false rumor that the red-dyed diesel is to show it came from Russia
America: acts in self interest of its ruling class
Europeans:
“It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
Ukrainian government shocked that the US government does what they have been doing for centuries and what “pro-russian” leftists were saying for decades will do to them as well.
My boss is a ukraine lib whose business depends directly on diesel so I wonder what she thinks about this, though I assume she’s happy to take the hit for every white liberal’s parasocial boyfriend volodymyr zelenskkkyy 😍 🍆 💦
The orange pedo has to win the midterms buy lowering the prices of gas which is the only thing his followers understand
MIC just frantically pushing buttons and pulling levers without any foresight or looking beyond next week
It wasn’t all that long ago, this was the pitch for a capitalist world; everyone is too economically interdependent to realistically go to war with each other.
Obviously in practice, its a lot more messy than that. Great powers are pretty much free to make war on whatever small countries they like. But we may not see any of them take a total war footing in our lifetimes. Peer to peer conflict is self destruction. The columnists and news pundits and other such clergy, the people who exist to find justifications for whatever rich powerful people were gonna do anyway, they may not like it – but this is the world they argued for.
This feels pretty good.
