What a piece of shit. Even beefing with Iran, yet supporting its biggest ally.

It's quite literally the definition of treason.

But we live in the upside down now, where cybernetically enhanced, geriatric, pedophiles can beat, f*ck, and murder little girls and commit treason and be ok

His ruzzian Führer ordered him to do so. The Iran attack only was about depleting US missile stocks so ruzzian attacks on Ukrainian citizens go through unhindered.

It's all according to his handlers plan.

Trump's religion is money. Hi could sell anything or anyone for the right price

Either Putin must be very desperate to discuss this with his secretary in the White House or there is something I don't see.

Trump reportedly agreed with Putin to "immediately" supply more than 0.3m tons of diesel fuel into the U.S. and global markets, another 0.5m tons in November, followed by another 1m ton and then an additional 3m tons of diesel "within a short period of time," based on the condition of Russian refineries.

That's a total of 4,8m tons over the next months. Russia measures diesel quantities in tons, so the 4.8m tons are equal to a bit more than 35.5m barrels, the measure used by world markets.

Even if this agreement materializes - which is everything but sure imho - it must be a complete nothing burger.

Refineries in the U.S. are churning out some four to five million barrels every day, according to EIA, the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The majority of this volume - around 3.6m barrels - is consumed domestically, the rest is exported.

So even if Russia is able to deliver this volume of 35m barrels, the volume is equivalent to what is consumed domestically in the U.S. within less than just 10 days. In the world market this volume is next to nothing.

This must be a nothing burger imo. But I am not an expert for oil markets, so maybe someone with more expertise can give me a hint.

I think the bigger issue is that this can be used to label Ukrainian drone strikes as hostile actions to American interests and as an excuse for the US to roll back sanctions, stop weapon transfers, and even provide support to Putin.

It's a very cynical thought that I hope is impossible but with how the American leadership is behaving lately I unfortunately wouldn't write it off.

Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there. He’s wanted to be friendlier with Russia since he got back in. This is just him moving in that direction.

I'm expecting Trump to make an advanced payment for all that diesel and it'll take months for the stuff to actually arrive if at all, so it's an excuse to support Putin financially. Meanwhile it's a good news show to say he's tackling the price issues at home and the result will come in any day now.

Nothing burger deals are a big part of "the art of the deal". He considers the matter closed now.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

The actual consequence doesn’t matter as much as the show for voters. This has always been the case, unfortunately.

Well my good old simple rule "Trump = Putin" has worked perfectly once more. (from 2016 never failed even once) And those silly lads were saying something about Grams sanction law. When I saw the last part of it - that it only gives Trump an instrument to put sanctions on any entity - I knew, that it wont work.
