Zelenskyy furious as Trump announces deal to buy Russian diesel
They make it sound like Russia is handing over the fuel. The "weak" have been holding off buying shit from Russia because it was a way of fucking Russia's economy. Trump just buckled.
Isn't this like 2.3 million barrels? And the us uses 2.9 million barrels per day? My math might be off though
That's what I thought too, 300.000 tons might sound like a lot but the US (not even including the global markets part of the post) use A LOT of fuel. It's quite literally a drop in the bucket
If your maths is off I don’t think it’s off by much - those figures look roughly correct. Drop in the ocean.
Drop in the ocean.
Damn that sounds cynical wrt USA's fossil fuel usage.
Yeah, it’s a bit of an exaggeration… but it’s still less than one three hundred and sixty fifth of the annual usage by the population of the country. And we’re not even bringing petrol / gasoline into the equation - as I understand it.
These numbers start to put fossil fuel usage into perspective.
Also the entire problem is that he started a war with Iran over bullshit situations he created.
We were already not importing Russian oil, to support our global interests.
Now. Losing a war with a country who didn’t invade us AND helping another country Invade their neighbor.
10/10 dumbassery
So he pussied out on the sanctions for one day of fuel. Gret taktik, smert much!
These posters starting to look like north korean stuff.
back-of-the-napkin math and a couple quick ddg, says half a day's consumption. 2m barrels vs ~ 4m daily consumption (from statista; 3.83m bbl daily ave first week oct 2025).
Yeah Foreign Policy geniuses couldn't believe anyone would be as stupid as Trump.
Make no mistake this is a trick.
Russia HAS NO DIESEL TO EXPORT. They're importing at a huge government loss from India.

This fake deal accomplishes exactly two things:
The US is a NET EXPORTER of diesel. They don't need more fuel. The problem is the market price is increasing due to mostly Hormuz since Russian oil is sanctioned. All he's doing is lifting this sanction to pay Putin to buy arms. Stopping Putin from trading fuel for arms was the entire purpose of the sanctions in the first place.
Trump is a traitor.
Oh and let's please appreciate that this isn't his first "highly succesful call with Vladimir Putin" (sheesh, he even added the first name in full. Truly a fan) by a long shot.

It's cool to turn your back on your allies.
The USA has no allies. Non. Zero. Even Israel and Russia are not their allies, they just are taking advantage of them.
The US rejected Iran's recent 7-day offer to reopen hormouz aka provide cheap diesel to the world again on top of returning to peace, now add that to this news along with the recent military build up around Iran means the US and Israel are %100 going back to war with Iran again soon.
Isn't Russia supposed to be very short on fuel itself? Where are they getting all this extra from?
Will it lower gas prices? No. Will the dumpkin and his cronies get richer? Yes.
Will a lot of idiots THINK gas is cheaper, and vote Republican? Also yes.
Propaganda at its finest.
Yeah. Now Trump owes Putin yet another favor, for bailing his ass out of yet another hole he dug for himself.
Such "strength". Such "leadership". Lol!
I fucked up with a war and two thousand other things so I begged my handler to give me fuel so I can stay in power and serve him longer
Trump
They're all so unoriginal. Eagle this, god that, and always wearing Oakleys with a shitty goatee. Zero personality, just an empty shell full of fear and propaganda.
Meanwhile, utter silence on all of his fuckups, including putting us in the dumbass position to begin with.
Russia has a severe shortagw of diesel due to Ukrain drones hitting its refineries. Putin will give US nothong but promises, just like Trump.
It's a train actually, I don't want to think about it, but Putin is the head car or whatever. Prez is receiving but giving it to the next in line.
I am all for people having the freedom to do what they want with consensual adults, but these guys keep cumming on us commoners, and we don't like that, well, most of us don't, maga loves it.
Convenient timing since proof of the deal won’t arrive before the midterms. Russia is experiencing severe gas shortages and Putin has nothing to give except maybe reminders about who owns copies of the Epstein tapes.
