WRIGHT: The president is putting pressure on that's a step forward for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war BASH: So now the US stance is to pressure Ukraine, not Russia? W: Oh, this is pressuring Russia. Russia doesn't have diesel to export. The only way they can get it is to turn down the conflict

Ukraine is always told to show restraint or accept the loss of land and autonomy in return for peace. I've yet to hear the Paedo-in-Chief or ANY Republican talk about ANY concessions that Russia is expected to make to bring about peace. 🤬

How any of you can take Dana Bash as a serious person is simply beyond my comprehension and should be beyond the comprehension of anyone with a modicum of understanding of current of events. Seriously, why not put a kindergarten teacher there?

trump literally rolls out the red carpet for Communist China and authoritarian-run Russia, tells the world that he fell in love with the leader of North Korea, but treats a democratically-elected leader of a country fighting for its life like trash. Tells you what trump and republicans stand for.

Ask not what this country is going to do next, ask yourself what are you prepared to do to save your country. This Russian diesel deal is treason!

Soooo, DJT went against Lindsey Graham bill he signed to lift sanctions on Russia allowing countries to get diesel from them while they have no diesel to export? And he also signed order to lower prices allowing export of a kahbillion ton of diesel they don’t have to lower prices? ffs

Republicans bomb Iran, Iran closes strait. Cost of living skyrockets further in U.S. Republicans needed a way to economically bail out Putin. Even though republicans were doing Israel's bidding when U.S. started war with Iran; they now have way to spin it into a win win for Putin.

When you put it THAT way, it looks like *we're* stupid enough to pay Russia to sell Iran missiles to hit us with. This is the stupidest timeline.

Pressuring Russia by easing back on previously agreed sanctions, giving them billions for oil (that this prick claims they don't have..In which case why order from them then 😮) and throttling/cutting of the starlink access which Ukraine needs to defend itself Yeah that'll teach those pesky Russians

For two years Trump made 300 million worry about future, let’s see if 300 million can make him worry about his future the next two years (minus kool-aid drinking MAGA)

So Trump told Putin that if he stops bombing Ukraine's energy, -then- the U$A would buy Russia's fuel? The deal was specifically contingent on -that-? U$A would only buy fuel produced -after- Russia stopped bombing Ukraine's energy? Is that what you're saying, Mr Wright? Is that what you're saying?

'Clearly rational dialogue and conversations have not worked...' Yes, Putin has refused any discussions of an off-ramp for Russia, so rewarding him will work. This is like paying a rapist not to rape people, but still paying them when he does.

Zelenskyy will just have to step up attacks on Russian refineries so that there is less money for the Russian war machine. So trump just destroyed our reputation with our allies for nothing. Brilliant plan.

"Yes it pressures Russia by helping Russia it makes sense if you only think about how important it is that I keep my job through slavish obedience to the cult"

Your current President is an utter idiot and despised throughout the World. He's a weak, narcissist idiotic con man. He has done massive damage to your country and it's reputation. No one trusts the USA anymore Russia and China are laughing. Your allies despairing.

That about sums it up. A very innovative approach on the part of Trump. His next move in the Iran war will be to place sanctions on their ability to export icebergs. He thinks outside of the icebox.

Key words, "turn down. What about ,"withdraw?" This is part of the circling of the wagons around the despot because he is, and has been for years, in a quid pro quo relationship with Putin. There are money and favors involved, to be sure. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

I guess he just forgot to mention that Trump is pressuring Ukraine to stop bombing Russian oil refineries which makes his lame claim fall apart. No reasonable person believes this guy’s BS!

Trump agreed to buy Russian fuel (which now Russia doesn't currently have?) and delay sanctions against Russia. Prices in US will continue to rise. Russia now has access to $$$ and we are to believe they won't use it to further fund the war against Ukraine.

Wright says Trump's diesel deal is “pressuring Russia” because Moscow needs to reduce fighting to export fuel. But Reuters reports Russian diesel exports have already resumed, while the war continues. Trump also waived new Russia sanctions. Where exactly is the pressure?

Diesel Days They have no diesel, because the diesel we want is being imported from Russia, who don't have diesel, so this will pressure Russia, who don't have diesel, although we are buying diesel from them.

Or Russia will get anything they want from their American collaborators in the White House and just will deliver nothing. Not that the promised amounts would have any effects if delivered.

The only way this could possibly get more absurd is if Russia openly joins Trump in the war against Iran, and the oil gets stolen and dumped into their joint military-industrial complex.

“Russia doesn't have diesel to export.” So where does Russia get the diesel? It trades weapons and intelligence for oil from Iran, who uses them to kill American troops. Trump doesn’t care who might be hurt to bring down diesel prices and improve his poll numbers.

What? I'm so sick of most news anchors/reporters just letting these dipshits play in our faces with their utter fucking bullshit. Doesn't it bother them as intelligent & educated people to let these wankers tell obvious lies? I'd tell them to be serious & cut their mic if they won't

Ah, I see. Trump is a genius and Putin is his puppet. I had it all wrong this whole time. That was some Bilbo Baggins level trickery. Poor Smeagol never had a chance to guess what Trump had in his nasty pocketses.

If you read Rachel Maddow book Prequel these republicans are doing the the same thing they did in the 1930s spreading propaganda for Russia like republicans in 1930s spread propaganda for the nazies

Confused. And what about Venezuela oil? what about the peace in Irã and get regular again the strait of Hormuz! Trump's regime wants everything

Oh, it's the weave. If you want to incentivize Russia, tell them sanctions are removed when you are out of Ukraine...you know, what sane people are telling you to do you fuck nozzle.

Oh, so paying Russia for diesel is a masterful trap. Like when I go to McDonald's and pay for a McFlurry and when the machine is broken I yell 'Gotcha!!' and they keep my money and I get no ice cream and they continue to bomb Wendy's. Clever.

So he thinks that Russia is going to export fuel they need instead of using it. There is thing called sanctions "My Guy!"

Spraying your face with lemon juice because you believe it will make your features invisible on cctv would be a coherently intellectual step up for most of these guys.

That is right up there with which came first, "the chicken or the egg." They are idiots that actually think they are smart, but most of all they have no shame. Trump has made lying that used to be disqualifying totally acceptable. One side tells the truth all the time and the other never does.

The point you’re passing is 30-odd percent of us ARE idiots. They voted for this, cheer for this, and bet that they’ll nearly to a person all vote for it again next month and in 2028.

Oops. She’s not supposed to admit that 😏 The deal always was Trump ships 💰💰 to Russia to fund their war effort. And Russia makes excuses and fails to ship any fuel.
