"Why can't we run government like a business?" asked the morons of America. This is why. You get marketing rebrands instead of governance, scams & bankruptcies instead of fiscal stability. You get humans reduced to "consumers," & public goods treated as "inefficiencies" or as resources to exploit.

US-Russia-Israel plan was to collapse Iran to drive up oil prices, blackmail EU into pressuring Ukraine to halt refinery strikes, restore Russian oil trade, force Ukraine to surrender. Instead, Iran didn't collapse, took over Hormuz and Ukraine increased the strikes on Russian refineries.

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

I think everyone is misreading the Diesel deal, according Trump too much agency. Putin got Trump to say something INSANELY stupid, no doubt in hopes of all the bribes on the table. This will solve none of the problems Trump caused the US. en.kremlin.ru/events/presi...
Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin
October 9, 202622:50
During the October 9 telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, considerable focus was on prospects for settling the Ukraine crisis, while the situation surrounding Iran and various aspects of bilateral relations were touched upon as well.

When discussing the state of affairs in the global energy market, the Russian side confirmed its willingness to supply oil and petroleum products to the US market and global markets at large. I am convinced this will have a positive impact on the entire global economy.

An agreement was reaffirmed to maintain personal contacts between the presidents of the two countries and to continue cooperation across their respective administrations, security services, and agencies.

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.
