You have to link sources when posting about politicians or famous people. I'll provide a link to a good source, but please remember to do that next time you post.

    Will it lower gas prices? No. Will the dumpkin and his cronies get richer? Yes.

    Terms of the deal are public?

    Sure. He said he magically got something hugely valuable with no cost, and no one else has publicly confirmed that's true. So the entire deal is actually public: it's a bunch of made up BS that no one will corroborate as real. It's that imaginary wall Mexico was paying for all over again.

    Hey, look at me. I'm publicly stating that the nation of Italy has agreed to sell me the heel of the boot. The whole place, we're gong's slice it right of, and float it to Texas and open a vineyard there. And maybe a monster truck theme park.

    Don't make any of that true just because someone said it.

    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.

    And even worse, the propaganda gets inserted into spaces where it shouldn’t be under the guise of “hurr durr look how outrageous this is?!”

    Don’t repost propaganda. It’s propaganda because it is insidious, it works, and people think they are above it.

    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.

    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.

    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 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

    I save a Mr Global video and I think he said that 300k tons in October was like 18 minutes of fuel based on usage. And the 500k tons in November was 30 minutes.

    So very much nothing at all. Which is why it was reported in tons and not barrels.

    If your maths is off I don’t think it’s off by much - those figures look roughly correct. 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.

    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.

    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!

    Isn't Russia supposed to be very short on fuel itself? Where are they getting all this extra from?

    Depending on fossil fuels has its pecularities.
