I wonder what the US economy would be like post ww3 after being on the wrong side of it
probably the same as everywhere once you realize that WW3 will use nukes.
There are no depths Trump won’t sink the US to. None.
Seriously doubt this “russian diesel” even exists
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…
America is fighting on too many fronts, the Ukrainian coup and following militarisation was just too greedy when they also needed to secure their hegemony in their own region (hence the recent Venezuelan and Brazilian interventions, and the yap regarding Canada and Mexico). Maybe they thought it was gonna be over quickly? Miscalculation or not, the right people still got paid, I guess.
Oh, definitely. He’s gonna use it to cut all US support to Ukraine. Which would also help Putin a lot.
The US supports Ukraine?
They still offer intelligence support I believe. Don’t think they give anything else otherwise and haven’t ever since Trump took power.
IIRC there was a group being trained to fly the F-16 but it was other countries offering to give them the planes so we couldn’t even be bothered to commit a 60 year old airframe
Russia still has refineries, just because there is a shortage doesn’t mean they don’t still produce some.
while diesel production is estimated to have fallen by nearly 30%
A deal with Trump is a much more important policy goal for Putin, even the decreased availability for his populace can be spin as a non lethal sacrifice/weapon to “liberate Ukraine from nazism”.
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.
AFAIK the fuel rationing only applies to gasoline, which Russia produces significantly less of
Will just have to make sure there’s no Russian diesel to buy then.
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
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.
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.
I dont understand why you keep repeating this same comment over and over. I’ve must seen it repeated almost ipsis litteris almost a dozen times.
They’re a troll. Tag/block and move on
Do you think this community never have new subscribers?
Wow, you completely solved international politics with a single Lemmy comment. I didn’t know we were in the presence of greatness here!
I don’t know whether any country has discussed my proposal to determine whether it is great.
Let me tell you then: it’s fuckin’ stupid. Like… not even regular stupid. Donald Trump stupid.
It’s a great idea but whether it would work is unknown because nobody knows how Putin would react. However, it is also unknown whether not following my proposal would lead to a better outcome.
All of this is dumb.
Why?
Sanctions work, especially compared to “but his time Putin will honor our agreement, I promise”.
Trump attacking Iran is what sent prices soaring
Yes, but Trump has to end his sanction against Russian oil in order to get diesel oil prices down.
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.
Yes, but the UK and France sending troops is a last resort if Putin rejects the proposal.
