You mean Ukraine defending itself from Russia? Like Iran defending itself from the U.S.? This administration is filled with abusers who can't tell victims from perpetrators.
The MAGA assholes blame Ukraine because high diesel prices will hurt the GOP in the midterms.
Ukraine is concerned about survival, not the US mid-terms.
So while we fight an ego-maniac’s war with Iran with no point and no goals, we just have to suck up high gas prices. But when Ukraine is fighting for its existence against a war mongering autocrat, well, they should stop fighting so we can have cheap gas.
Fox beclowning themselves once again with the message that Ukraine defensivley attacking Russia is somehow NOT Putin's fault for first attacking Ukraine. #TrumpPunditsAreRussianAssets
It might be true in Russia. In the USA it’s absolute bunkum. Trump started a war with Iran, who closed the Straits of Hormuz, thus choking the supply lines.
I'm old enough to remember when the GOP blamed <check notes> Biden for high gas prices in 22 after Russia invaded Ukraine. They laughed when Dems rightfully stated that the war caused a spike in gas prices. Now 4 years later those same people are blaming the Ukraine war for high gas prices. 🤷🤦
Please, the cost of diesel is spiking after Trump’s war in Iran, look at any graph, facts matter, blaming Ukraine is too easy, and is Russian talking point.
Exactly! The wily no-card-having Ukrainians slamming the invaders in a war that the Orange Atrocity claimed he could have stopped 1600+ x 24 hours ago somehow precipitated the actions closing the gulf shipping corridors! If we survive, the idiocy of this era will gobsmack future historians...
I guess Russia should get the fuck out of Ukraine and then the strikes would end. But, you all have Putin’s balls in your mouth, so you’re not going to say that now, are you.
The stupidity of these people is only matched by their ignorance. ruZZia does not supply diesel fuel (or oil) to the US 🤦♂️. ruZZia does supply oil for processing to several countries - India comes to mind, for instance - that will then produce diesel fuel for supply to third countries.
Keep up the good work Ukraine !
You are defending your country from Orgs, and therefor shouldn't give a shit about fuel prices in the rest of the world.
So have Donnie the Tee, Capo of the Bridge-and-Tunnel Mafia, take a sit-down with "Windows" Vladimir and ask him to stop his war of aggression as a personal favor.
So what Matt “Big Dick Toilet”
Whitaker is saying that the real cause of high diesel isn’t Trump failure in Iran but Trump’s failure to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine on day 1 like he promised.
Wait a minute. Trump said repeatedly Zelenskyy had no cards to play. Now he's asking Zelenskyy to stop playing one because it's affecting diesel prices. Sounds like Zelenskyy has a card after all. So was Trump lying?
Not a lie so much as pure cynicism. Trump said Zelensky had no cards because he wanted Ukraine to surrender. Now that Kyiv is playing a card that actually hurts Russia, Trump demands it be taken off the table, to protect diesel prices, not Ukrainian lives.
If Zelensky has no cards to play, then it must be Trump's war in Iran that's driving diesel prices up.
So which is it, Donald? Were you lying about Zelensky having no cards, or are you admitting your war is driving up diesel prices? 😉
Is that part of the deal to pay for Juniors wedding? I’m sure there’s more but damn their bitching about Hunter Biden is really rearing its ugly head now. These bitches are so far in the tank for Russian interests while swearing an oath to protect and serve the United States. I smell traitors.
They really to believe that every one is that stupid and gullible. In all fairness, the maga cult has proven themselves to be quite malleable and easily manipulated, but hoping they even have limits
Wow! Golly, I wonder what the US could do to help Ukraine end the invasion of its land by Russia? Remember, Trump has a special relationship with Vlad.
I'm sure Trump's spawn taking $170,000 in wedding expenses from a Russian oligarch pal of Putin sure turned the heat up.
We are hearing words from the mouth of a representative of a country whose Trump administration is mired in dirty money from the Kremlin mafia; we can expect nothing more. We wish the US good luck.👏👏👏👏👏
Nato Ambassador Whitaker, tell Russia to end the invasion of sovereign Ukraine and that may take more pressure off diesel prices, if that is really what Ukraine striking Russia is actually doing.
To the invader goes the consequences in this case.
Slava Ukraini!
It's the Ukranians and the Biden family or the Democrats. Maybe even all 3.
Or we could blame the felon in the White House and his fucked up enablers.
Is it November yet? 🌊💙💯🫶🙏
Is he trying to say that Ukraine shouldn't defend itself? Obviously, the entire Trump administration is a bunch of corrupt, deranged morons who have been bought by Putin!
NATO knows the Hatred and Anger these former Eastern Europe Nations have for Soviet Russia , they lived through that Brutality,, NATO is Not Scared of taking on Russia it’s Holding back A possible Annihilation against All Russians. Be very Scared Mr Putin . 😬🛸👽🏴
That was some response at the recent summit by Poland Prime Minister, if Russia strikes us again we’ll respond and won’t stop , we’ll finish you in 6 weeks we have the Power and the Tech , you will have Nothing within 12 weeks ,, 👀🛸👽🏴
- Diesel fuel, like many other natural resources, is finite. Use (waste) of it reduces what's available. This dynamic is a component of today's rising prices.
- Economies attempt to 'solve' problems by borrowing more, which increases money supply, another component of today's rising prices!
Conservation policies would reduce both the price of diesel and the need for it at the same time.
Instead of a managed approach we have 'Conservation By Other Means™' whereby events smash whatever control we have over our own destinies
We lie to ourselves about this mess we've created for ourselves. We blame high prices on a people defending against barbarism when the real fault is our own dependency. We are nothing more than glorified drug addicts.
"Ewwww, that's Ukraine's fault!"
The strategy would be to use less diesel, (and gasoline): prices would decline. The alternative is high prices destroying demand.
Another strategy would be to borrow less and retire existing loans. Prices would decline due to changing funds allocation. Alternative is defaults and breakdown
Diesel costs spiking because orc refineries keep combusting isnt a Ukraine problem, its the invoice for the invasion finally landing on the right desk.
What does Russia have to do with high diesel prices in the US? We produce most of our diesel here, when we import it comes from Canada, Saudi Arabia or Mexico. We haven’t imported Russian diesel since 2022. So are you lying?
The hypocrisy is just crazy. When oil prices zoomed higher under Biden, when Russia attacked Ukraine, it was Biden's fault, though he had ZERO to do with it. Trump starts a war of choice with Iran that literally knocked out 20% of the supply + 4% just the other day, and it is Ukraine's fault. FML
Russia attacking Ukraine is making Ukraine attack Russia. If Russia stopped attacking Ukraine diesel prices might fall a bit (except for that Iran thing).
But Trump said yesterday he had a deal with Putin and Zelenskyy that they mutually agreed not to do this. Another lie by Trump to manipulate markets before the election.
wild how ukraine defending itself is somehow the reason your gas is expensive, not the part where russia blows up pipelines and acts like opec with nukes. but yeah, blame the cornfield.
Trump’s NATO ambassador Matthew Whitaker worries about diesel prices while Russia kills Ukrainian civilians and children and bombs schools and hospitals. He counts the cost of oil but ignores the cost in human lives. That is not diplomacy or realism. It is moral cowardice dressed up as policy.
Trump’s America.
Blame the country attacked because gas prices are killing him in the polls because he attacked Iran??😆
That’s some awesome 4D chess there. And maga will buy it. They’ll continue to hate Ukrainians for doing nothing o the er than defending their own interests
