About 130 U.S. refineries make America’s diesel. The oil in those stills is mostly U.S. crude plus Canadian heavy (62%). Mexico (6%), Saudi (4), Iraq (3), Latin America (6-7%) fill the rest. The U.S. buys ZERO Russian crude or Russian diesel. The ban has held since March 2022.

The Russian barbarians who destroyed #Mariupol and murdered up to 100,000 of its inhabitants have now demolished a sign bearing the name of Mariupol in Greek. Before that they painted in the colours of the russian flag. 1/2

In addition to bringing Russia in from the cold for nothing in return, the US, by failing to apply meaningful pressure, has given Moscow the leverage to finish the job of destroying Ukraine and have the sanctions lifted. Trump-style geostrategy at its finest.
