The SPR is tank dry, and he's trying all these gimmicks.

It's tough to wrap your head around the idea of giving Putin a gift by paying for diesel, since it won't lower prices in the U.S. Where is moral value? Strategy to sway short-sighted voters for Republicans. Democrats are not better; electing Muslim during a war with Iran? Betrayal? #3 party needed.

It may also be a way for Trump to pay his debts to Putin using our tax payer dollars.

The public needs to stop expecting something different than this and that has nothing to do with Trump.

And not enough for even a small blip of lower prices. It's all show.

Most people don't understand economies of scale, especially the behemoth that is the US. But choosing tons as the metric vs barrels or gallons is how you know he's hiding something.

I did a quick search for the average use of diesel in the US per day, so it's entirely possible. Either way it ain't that much and certainly not worth lifting Russian sanctions.

Likely Trump/Putin knows / they never planned to send/receive any oil, but Trump would pay $$ to Putin to help Putin save RU's cratering economy. Remember: Trump is an RU asset.

I mean yes, but giving the amount in tons is to obfuscate how much that actually is. It's a literal drop in the bucket. Putin is scamming Trump or both of them are scamming the rest of us. Either way it's pathetic.

Let’s see. The Russians are scratching bottom for fuel. Kissing ass to western nations bypassing sanctions. He has fuck all to offer other than GET THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE. Just saying

"Putin doesn't have diesel to spare." Was just saying that elsewhere. I'm betting he'll still sell it, making conditions within Russia worse, and keep blaming it on Ukraine. (yay Ukraine)

The amount won't even cover one day's consumption in the US. bsky.app/profile/empt...

If it interfers with his Ukraine war then good

youtu.be/fDpiveBR96g?...

I think you're mistaken. Russia's only export is gas. And they haven't been able to export it to anyone for several years because of sanctions. They can use the profits from our money to buy drones from Iran to bomb Ukraine. It's a simple win win for Putin.

@emptywheel.bsky.social can you please tie this to the EU releasing oil reserves 9 days ago ? Trying to figure out what ELSE this is cover for & I feel like it has to do with the Suwalki Gap www.abc27.com/internationa...

Nazi is nazi does

How much are we paying for it

Russian Hoax ~ Aaron Maté bsky.app/profile/noth...

Also a million tons/month would be 7.3 million bbl/month, but world consumption is 195 million bbl/DAY. ALSO, it’s all bullshit and will never happen, so there’s that.

He’s not getting rid of the fuel that they need to continue getting their asses kicked! 😂

How soon before trump starts his Russian Hoax bullshit ..

Katie Wiles, the daughter of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, faced public scrutiny in October 2026 after a social media photo surfaced showing her holding a rifle next to Željko Budimir, the interior minister of Republika Srpska

Two top political advisers and campaign strategists for Donald Trump, Chris LaCivita and James Blair,faced scrutiny after a New York Times report revealed they traveled to Republika Srpska (a Russia-aligned autonomous entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina)to consult the local government ahead of election

1) Bingo 2) Bingo 3) Bingo 4) Bingo 5) Bananas

Won’t that upset musk that Putin is making moves for his job!

And netanyahu

Yep. Good call

Unless there's a deal with Ukraine, Russia's tankers will never get out of port.

Trump is betraying everyone. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/10/he-h...

It's also another way for the corrupt US Regime to blame Ukraine for the energy crisis (hitting Russian refineries) that was actually caused by the US attacking Iran (strait closed).

I was wondering what Trump meant by "Red Diesel" 😡

Also puts pressure on Ukraine to cease/slow refinery attacks.

And I love the uneducated.

Diesel doesn’t appear to be the point of this deal.

A literal drop in the ocean, if it ever arrives. A couple days worth of diesel will not even cause a ripple in the pump price.

Just yesterday the (price of) RU diesel was pushing the market price up. That implies it was/is priced higher than other sources. I will bet it turns out the dyed diesel as already being used otr

UKRAINE has blown up over HALF of the REFINERIES in RUSSIA....how in the HOLY HELL are they SHIPPING OUT DIESEL...ITS A LIE AND A SCAM

Trump can’t even wait 24 hours before he rolls it out. Just a complete buffoon.

6) it's gonna happen just like the $5,000 checks will 7) even if it did happen, it would be a drop in the bucket:

Can you say more about #3? I don’t think I caught your previous thread on that

Putin doesn’t need to actually have or provide the fuel, for Trump saying this, to be a win for him. And Trump will never know hes getting dunked on because he’s an imbecile who is happy as long as funds are flowing into he and his family’s pockets.

Confused about this & would love to to hear your comments:

About Putin doesn't have diesel to spare.⬆️

Sticking knives in the backs of Ukraine and our European allies. Clearly violating the intention of Congress. Propping up a murderous dictator. All for less than 2 days worth of Diesel.

Diesel was never the ask. He needs sanctions lifted to keep the war economy running, and the offer is priced to sound generous while costing him nothing he actually has. Kash in the room shows the real trade is security for relief.

I’m telling you we won’t see a drop of diesel from Putin he doesn’t even have enough for his country much less ours watch 🙄💙🗳️✊🏻✌🏻

Tons of diesel = minutes of it. It's gallons that count, not how much it weighs. Smoke screening with numbers.

With no effect on prices, the number of voters alienated could be greater than those who are fooled.

Trump, "I am pleased to announce a historic deal to fund the Russian war effort against the Ukrainian oppressors." Let's hear the GOP mid-term candidates answer for this.

Just like “adoption” was when Don Jr, Jared and the rest entertained Russians seeking sanctions in Trump Tower in 2016. Trump has “corresponding obligations” to Putin among other despots

It's all cover for Trump handing Putin pallets of USDs. Ratcliff flew in a military cargo planeload of pallets of cash just last month. Putin has gone broke.

I'd say there's a numerator denominator problem, too. 300K tons sounds like a lot into you look into daily usage. Additionally, even if Putin had the diesel, where was it headed before it was 'given' to the US. MO of Trump: splashy news, grab the headline, most people won't read or hear the analysis

Putin must be desperate.. this "deal" can't be helping him, domestically.. all those drivers waiting in line, learning their gas got shipped abroad, might drive them angry, you'd think 🤔
