Trump hails Russia deal to release diesel as midterms loom • FRANCE 24 English

America is Financing the war against Ukraine !<br>Russia is supporting Iran in war with USA.<br>Oh ! What a Loop !<br>Doland is confused.😅<br>Means confused Americans will vote him ha ?<br>Unethical war mongerer.<br>How can USA progress &amp; sustain on the basis of confused structural faulty base ?<br>Be careful!

Trump administration (with Netanyahu&#39;s help) first initiates a war—one that makes no sense either geopolitically or tactically—leaving not only the American population but, above all, the populations of the world&#39;s poorest countries economically destitute and stripped of their natural oil and gas reserves, forced to pay the price for his mistake.
<br>And now, for purely domestic reasons—the midterm elections— <b>Trump makes a pact with the devil, rewarding Putin—another invader of an independent country</b> —with billions of dollars; unlike many traditional U.S. allies, Putin can now export goods tax-free.

So let me get this straight: The United States, once the land of opportunity and a fossil fuel superpower, now imports gas from Russia, shields the Epstein files from release, starts a war to dismantle the International Criminal Court in order to protect international criminals, and launches public livestreams of executions ?? Wow. Just wow. 🤯

And Trump recently lied that the reason diesel became expensive in the US is because Russia ran out of diesel after all their refineries were destroyed by Ukraine and stopped exporting oil. He wanted people to stop saying that Iran war is the real reason why diesel is expensive and becoming scarce. Narcissists are quick to forget they lied

• A &quot;Nothing Burger&quot; Globally: President Trump announced that Russia would immediately release 300,000 metric tons of diesel, followed by 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons in December. While 300,000 metric tons sounds massive, it translates to roughly 2.25 million barrels of fuel. Considering the global market burns roughly 30 million barrels of diesel every single day, the immediate release amounts to less than two hours of global consumption. For the U.S. alone—which consumes about 2.94 million barrels of diesel per day—the entire initial shipment amounts to less than a day&#39;s supply. Energy researchers have noted that these volumes will not meaningfully move the needle on prices.<br>• Contradicting Russia&#39;s Domestic Reality: Russia has been mired in a severe internal fuel crisis. Due to relentless Ukrainian drone strikes on its energy infrastructure and routine seasonal maintenance, Russia’s overall diesel output has plummeted by an estimated 30 percent. To protect its own agricultural and military supply chains, Moscow had a strict ban on diesel exports in place since July, which was recently extended through October.• Unrealistic Long-Term Promises: The deal also outlines a subsequent delivery of 3 million tons of diesel &quot;within a short period of time,&quot; depending on refinery conditions. Because a third of Russia&#39;s refining capacity is heavily damaged or offline, experts question where Russia would suddenly source millions of tons of excess fuel without causing a complete collapse of its domestic market.<br>While Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak claimed that Russia would immediately begin lifting its export restrictions to fulfill the deal, energy sector analysts conclude the announcement is more of a political maneuver ahead of the U.S. midterm elections than a functionally viable solution to global shortages.
