This basically boils down to Trump agreeing to fund Russia’s war against Ukraine by buying diesel to try to save his own ass in the midterms because of the mess he has made in Iran.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Just so we’re crystal clear: Trump is now funding the murder of Ukrainian women and children to try and win the midterms. America is lost.
The orange omnicunt posts:

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Private health parasitises the NHS. It tends not to have A&Es and Intensive Care Units because they are expensive/unprofitable. For real emergencies and for dumping of unprofitable patients, it exploits the NHS. In the former case, the extra time getting private patients to the NHS is a big risk.
