      Considering the Ukrainians have been blowing up refineries and fuel storage depos for months now, I agree with you. That diesel doesn’t exist.

      Also I remember reading that Russians implemented fuel rationing in some parts of the country.

        I’m thinking its all a show/lie. When it doesn’t show up he is to be able to tell the American people that Ukraine is driving up prices and attacking american fuel…

          Oh, definitely. He’s gonna use it to cut all US support to Ukraine. Which would also help Putin a lot.

              They still offer intelligence support I believe. Don’t think they give anything else otherwise and haven’t ever since Trump took power.

        That’s probably the point, now that ‘US has a deal’ Ukraine targetting Russian refineries is a ‘no no’.

        Just the latest orders down the chain from Putin.

    Putin called him up and reminded he had a video of Donald Trump in a Russian hotel room pissing on her and then raping her.

    I’m surprised he doesn’t release the video in a gold plated “steel book” colllectors edition AI upscaled 4k. 30% of America would buy it, or at least pirate it to goon with.

    In geopolitics everything seems so intertwined and twisted that it almost makes me believe that everything is a scheme and we’re being played all day everyday. Almost like some secret society world order dogshit

    Sanctions don’t work because they can’t be maintained. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

      Sanctions work, especially compared to “but his time Putin will honor our agreement, I promise”.

      Trump attacking Iran is what sent prices soaring

      Nobody is going to accept that.

      If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

      The UK and France especially aren’t going to accept that, there is nothing stopping them from sending troops now, but they don’t.
