Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not sure what spell the U.S. has over them, but it's concerning and pathetic. I say that as an American.

Pretty sure all they need over them is that Europe as a whole imports a lot of diesel, and they get half of that from the US. Trump has threatened to stop exports to try to lower US fuel prices for the election. If he does, Europe would be scrambling. It's hardly a surprise that they don't want the US to turn off the taps. It's also not a surprise that the US is selling fuel they need, since that keeps their oil companies happy.
