The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports.
The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.
![During a campaign rally in Nebraska, Trump said, “Let them [Iran] take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Audience members in Nebraska took the president at his word and applauded at his apparent invitation to Iran to destroy two American cities. In the 24 hours following the speech, Trump has not clarified, retracted, or apologized for his comments, knowing that many Americans reasonably believe he said that the loss of two US cities of 21 million people is a “small price to pay” for his war on Iran.
A mad king.
Republicans have dutifully remained silent before their lord and master, upon whom they depend for their precarious and pathetic status as tenants at will in the cult of MAGA.
No kings.
His original comments, combined with his refusal to condemn their plain meaning, provide grounds to remove him as president.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ke2hfcg6bnlups7cuz3ejiop/bafkreiakl44mdalcr32mufwmxw5ut7jvw2faspt7ioc3sw6lcf4jbzlsli)
