So in another astounding move trump is doing Putin's work by telling the Ukrainians to stop hitting Russia's fuel infrastructure, claiming they drive up the global price of diesel. But the attacks on refineries in Russia have little to no effect on global fuel prices. It is instead the was in Iran that is the main culprit.

But hey, anything to give the boss in Moscow a helping hand, right?

"“If Trump’s primary concern is the disruption of global energy markets, then the much larger issue is America’s continued war with Iran, which has contributed far more significantly to the current fuel shortage,” she says.

The International Energy Agency has also identified the conflict in the Middle East as the principal source of the broader global supply shock, saying in June that global markets are dealing with “their largest supply disruption in history resulting from the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz.”

I saw this earlier today and my first thought was just imagining what Zelensky wanted to say that hypocrite. Staggering really, and if it didn't have such widespread, disastrous effect to the entire world, it would be funny.

If Trump was a Russian asset, what would he do differently?

Exactly. And I think the answer would be "not much".

Trumps blaming Zelensky for high diesel prices,becuase he is taking the fight to Russia,

Russian tanks ,and other military vehicles use diesel ,so the fuel dumps are a legitimate

target , but the real reason is Trump started a war,and as a result oil has skyrocketed ,

it's refreshing to note he did not blame Biden.... you are solely to blame for high fuel

prices Donald , and come November people will remember...

'Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas Wedding Was Secretly Bankrolled by Russian Oligarch Close to Putin'

https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-wedding-bankrolled-russian-oligarch-umar-kremlev-putin

"That dream [wedding] was heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin.

Kremlev is the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom. The wedding payments came from an IBA-affiliated entity in Dubai that the boxing association uses for financial transactions."

Are you thinking of Joe Biden?

Oil prices have jumped a few percentage points after each Ukrainian drone attack on Russian refineries as markets jittered about global supply; they have risen about 15% in 2024 so far, to approximately $85 a barrel. Fears of higher prices, which could increase gasoline costs for U.S. drivers and thus inflation in the run-up to the November 2024 U.S. presidential election, seem to have prompted the White House this week to pressure Kyiv to stop targeting Russian refineries. The Biden Administration is reportedly also concerned that Russian retaliation could damage additional facilities, such as pipelines into Europe, and further elevate global energy prices. At least one Ukrainian official denied that the U.S. had urged Kyiv to stop the drone attacks. But Kyiv has nonetheless insisted that Russian refineries are “legitimate targets.”

No, I'm not thinking of President Joe Biden. Only sad MAGAs who are desperate to divert attention away from the s**t show that is the trump presidency are talking about him.

Hope this help!
