but presumably that's enough for Trump - he's only thinking of the high price of fuel affecting the mid-term elections against him. Those elections take place three weeks from now. He will lose in a landslide. People are sick of the corruption and incompetence. maxboot.substack.com/p/trump-turn...

Another foolish decision by Trump to reward war monger Putin by buying 36 million barrels of oil from Russia. Even if Russia could even deliver the oil, it would only made up for three weeks worth of the global short-fall... maxboot.substack.com/p/trump-turn...

Lifting sanctions on Russia and shifting the narrative to blame Ukraine for rising oil prices opens the door to the business deals Trump & Co. have been discussing with Putin this whole time. They may help Russia restore damaged refineries under the same pretext of wanting to buy diesel.

Over 15,000 civilian casualties in 2026, and those are only the numbers we know about, the direct result of Russian strikes on Ukrainian-controlled territory. But then there are the grey zones. The occupied lands. Places like Oleshky. No one reports from places like these.
