It's important to recognise is that this *isn't* about the US getting "back" to business with Russia, because there's never been much US-Russia business of any kind beyond arms control. What the Trump admin is pushing for is an unprecedented alignment of the US with Russia.

And yet White House is apparently determined to force US drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to price of fuel. If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

🇬🇧‼️🇺🇸 Boris Johnson: It is sickening that USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with closure of Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians. Ukrainians fighting for their lives.

I view Farage as a traitor to the UK. The man who’s the colour of a conker after an afternoon in the sun, has a foreign name, yet went out of his way to pick on foreign kids in his school, clearly has unresolved issues. He’s high on malice and low on self worth. bsky.app/profile/13sa...

He'd quoted Gladstone as saying "whenever the Irish question looks like it's going to be solved... the Irish change the question." A boy called Slater raised his hand and politely pointed out that it wasn't Gladstone but a line from 1066 and All That and Archer completely and embarrassingly lost it
