Why is Trump warning Zelenskyy not to hit Russian diesel refineries?
Trump blames Ukraine’s attacks for global diesel shortage, linking the crisis to Russia's war rather than US actions.

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.

Buying Russian diesel will not moderate global diesel prices substantially (for obvious reasons). Also, for example, China and India produce more diesel than Russia. Russia was the one choice where buying the diesel violates our sanctions and undermines our national interests/Ukraine security.

Do yourself a favor. Read these 7 pages by @lilymasonphd.bsky.social right now. It is the most concise explanation of the current situation in U.S. politics I've seen and it captures why calls to reduce "polarization" can ultimately worsen the problem 🧵 www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/pol...

Polarization Is Not the Problem | Journal of Democracy
Americans have never been angrier with one another. But polarization is not the disease—it is the response to a revanchist movement seeking to roll back sixty years of social progress.

0% tax on income up to $30,000 per adult (plus $8,000 per child), then a flat 25% on every dollar above that, with capital gains and dividends taxed at the same 25% rate. No exceptions, no loopholes.
