Zelensky LASHES OUT at Trump's DIESEL DEAL

@Cibaikia So they can defend themselves against disgusting Russian terrorists who steal, loot, rape, and murder in their country, and so that international law is respected. Every reasonable person supports Ukraine.

@ScreaminMime The US has some immigrants to trade.

@yudirtygnome The people of Ukraine remember the corruption his regime has done to the country. Who would have thought that an actor wasnt suited for being a dictat..i mean, president. Ukraine is a militant democracy, and dont ask about elections, thats Russian influence talking

@sirmrmikey That green dwarf is an ungrateful little bitch, and 100% wrong. (Do you know that even Ukraine is buying oil from Russia?) And democrats had been hysterically salivating all over to their Russia and Trump bullshit for years. How that ended? No collusion. Fake liberals you can try to fuck up the world (including the US) when it's your turn.

@howwonderfool Ukraine doesn't buy oil from Russia, that's a blatant lie. Ukraine was forced to keep allowing oil shipments through the pipeline running across its territory because several more pro-Russian countries in Europe haven't cut their oil dependence on Russia. Ukraine gets its diesel via Europe, so it's entirely possible that it was refined from Russian oil. But that's not on Ukraine.

And before the attack on Iran, oil prices were extremely low. It wasn't the Democrats who caused this global mess, driving oil prices through the roof and destroying nearly $1.5 trillion in economic output worldwide, it was Trump. Trump's lack of strategy could end up being even more expensive, as he is nowhere near striking a deal with Iran.

@MiTleiD Ukraine buys oil from Russia through India. Just like the hypocrite European countries. What a difference, right? Ukraine also got contracted money by the deals between Russia and some landlocked European countries, and even got back diesel made from Russian oil as an aid. Ungrateful little liar Zelensky. Fulfilling the needs of people for having energy-safety cannot be questioned by anyone.

Even France, GB couldn't and won't cut themselves fully from Russian oil (they had been the firsts buying that as "Indian" and "Turkish" oil), then what do you think smaller and landlocked Eastern-European countries with significant need for energy can do. And why exactly should they buy at a higher price, competing with and dependent upon western countries who still buy Russian oil and buy up every other sources?

Ukraine should stop pulling European countries and the world into the war that had been orchestrated against Russia, and Ukraine in it's stupidity got hooked.

Trump is stupid with war on Iran, though it was not his decision for sure, yet the floundering Ukraine attacking oil/gas pipelines, refineries, or the terrorist attack on Nord Stream all raised the oil and gas prices for many countries, causing their economies stutter.

It's not the oil money that keeps Russia going to war, on the contrary without that they will go harder. Manpower and time is on their side, Russia has 20% of what was Ukraine prior this war (but before that it was historically Russia) and with that half of the rare-earth minerals. The other half is waiting for the US to mined, and they are going for it soon. So a deal is going to be formed, whether Ukraine likes it or not. The alternatives will end with nuclear winter, and Ukraine, or any other country is just not worth it.

Keep on - without NATO aid Ukraine won't be able - until all military age Ukrainians are dead or abroad with no wish to return..

@howwonderfool I highly doubt Ukraine is buying crude oil from anyone these days. They definitely don't buy directly from Russia. The only way any Russian oil gets in is indirectly, if the third-party suppliers Ukraine actually buys from are still processing Russian crude.

Since Russia was essentially the world's gas station, breaking free from their oil and gas isn't happening overnight for the countries trying to do it. Right now, they're leaning heavily on tight restrictions. The EU, for instance, has drastically cut down its imports and locked in full bans for the future, which is all out there in public record. The US has the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act.

Yet, instead of putting more pressure on Russia, Trump is trying to walk back the sanctions.

Before the Iran war, the oil price was very low, even though the Ukrainians had already been attacking the Russian oil industry for years and the gas pipelines had also been blown up years ago. For the Russians, the oil price was actually so low that it barely covered their production costs. It only skyrocketed with the Iran war.

And of course, time is not on Russia's side. Both Europe and Ukraine are getting stronger militarily. By this time next year, Ukraine will likely have ballistic missiles in mass production. The Europeans are ramping up their production capacity and can deliver more to Ukraine than at the start of the full-scale invasion. It's also very possible that Trump will have to do more for Ukraine if he loses the midterms, because he won't be able to sideline Congress the way he is doing now. If the war outlasts Trump and there's a change of power in the US, Russia is finished.

And a few more notes: Historical Russian territory is meaningless, because Russia no longer exists, there is only the Russian Federation. If you were to assert historical claims, you wouldn't know where to stop, and nothing would be left of the Russian Federation either.

Of course, there can be no deal between Trump and Putin over Ukraine, because neither of them has the power to pull it off anymore. Putin certainly doesn't, and Trump faces resistance both from the Europeans and within the US that he cannot overcome. Furthermore, by cutting off nearly all aid, he has lost a lot of leverage over Ukraine.

And as for the nuclear threats coming out of Russia, they are more propaganda than reality.

@MiTleiD You do realize that if any given time Ukraine bought Russian oil or diesel made from Russian oil - and it did, and most likely do it as of today - then Jewlensky and Ukraine is a hypocrite. A hypocrite that got profit (from how Ukraine called it) "blood oil", partly from transit fees, partly buying indirectly Russian oil labelled as Indian, and partly getting diesel made from Russian oil in landlocked European countries.

Those energy safety is in constant jeopardy because of Ukraine, what deliberately attacked pipelines going through its territory - and showed a temper tantrum blaming those countries, who actually helped those ungrateful little bitch - for said countries having bought Russian oil legally. Again that oil which was as above mentioned transferred back partly as diesel to Ukraine as an aid, and getting the transit fee. All that while GB and France are buying Russian oil as "Indian and Turkish oil". And it was Czechia that actually bought larger amount of "Russian oil", than it had made promises (only future promises of aid) to Ukraine, while constantly nagging and bashing countries who cannot even get enough oil from other sources for their energy safety. No wonder Czechoslovakia (Slovakia is made from Northern Hungary) was a pet project of GB and France. Their governments sharing common "values" being dirty loud hypocrites, actually fucking over their own(?) countrymen..

@sirmrmikey Sucks that the old world order is dying huh? Cry me a freaking river.
