4% increase in imports from Canada would easily replace the entire physical volume of diesel “negotiated” in the new US-Russia pact.

Negotiating to increase trade with Canada after throwing a tariff filled trade war at them is possible, except the war was started out of pettiness to damage another nation and its economy. Backing out would hurt the president's ego too much. What does the KGB have on Trump that makes him so loyal?

Russia needs Ukraine to look like the bad guy. Putin promises diesel he can’t deliver & then blames it on Zelenskyy. I would not be surprised if Trump made a trade to do this. Putin would help apply pressure on Iran to stop attacks before midterms. Putin sets up Trump & blames Ukraine,

The entire US-Russia diesel deal can be replaced by a 4% bump in Canadian imports. He's funding Putin's war machine for no reason at all. Canada is literally right there.

US-Russia pact specifies an immediate shipment of 300K tons, followed by 500K tons in November, and eventually ramping up to a maximum total of 4.8M metric tons (roughly 36M barrels) spread over the next few months.

Can you double check? I thought US imports about 600,000 tons of oil a month from Canada. If Russia sends 500,000 tons or more a month that over 80% of the current Canadian exports. Did I get that wrong?

Besides being traitorous helping Putin finance the war, does Russia even have any spare oil? I thought Ukraine was hammering Russian oil production. Also doesn’t the US export a lot of diesel? Why sits it need more? I’m confused

Because Canada's baseline export volume to the US is so massive, a modest 4% bump in Canadian production and pipeline flow would equal roughly 36-40M barrels over that same timeframe, completely offsetting Russian supply.

What they are trying to cover up is that the world, led by China, has transitioned away from hydrocarbons, rendering them OBSOLETE except for specialty uses. That transition is accelerating at unprecedented speed and scale, and it has already offset every lost barrel of supply.

If you follow the price of oil (Texas intermediate crude for American cars, and diesel for the trucks) that ship our foods, furniture, and yes presents yet somehow jack up the price when the sun isn’t shining. If we didn’t get dragged into this war, gas prices would be at least $1 less per gallon.

Putin is playing Trump and Trump is playing his voters. The volume is negligible in US needs, it's all about throwing Ukraine under the bus. Again. For nothing. It's despicable.

Correct. It's a world commodity based on the commodity price of a barrel of crude, and crude production is down b/c of Trump's war in Iran.

Congrats to USA joining the Russian war against Ukraine. Do US citizens actually think the rest of the world will brush over this US administration as an aberration? 3 times tens of millions have voted for this.

Yes also considering Greenlands and Canadas EEZ ( Exclusive Economic Zone .. that russia has been after in international courts since 2012 . Proving trumps closeness to putin

here is the out: Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. “based on conduction of refineries” “and short period of time”

The 2026 midterms elections will take place on Nov 3. Functioning as a high-stakes "popularity meter" for Trump’s second term, these elections will determine the balance of power, if they aren’t stolen Nov 4, America will realize that a well armed militia will be needed to remove the dictator

On this one I’m full on in support of trumps stupid plan. I can’t imagine it will be popular in fuel lines in Russia and that can only be a good thing. Plus with luck the Ukrainians will sink whatever shitty dark fleet tankers they try and use.

Extra deaths in exchange for votes… It doesn't get any cruder than that. Sadly enough extra reasons for UKR to intensify the oil infrastructure of Putania. bsky.app/profile/demo...

NOBEL-HUNGRY PEACE PRESIDENT FUNDS RUSSIA'S WAR Russia invaded UKR. Cities bombed, civilians killed, children taken. While Ukraine's team sat in Miami, he cut a diesel fuel deal with Putin to ease prices before the midterms. Everyone who voted for him shares the blame. Ukrainians pay in death.

Canadians are “super-villains” now for standing up and supporting Ukraine. Enriching war criminal putin and lifting the sanctions was plan all along.

Trump is screwing American MAGA beef suppliers by importing beef from Argentina. He is screwing his so-called Gulf allies by importing diesel from Russia. Forget old friends like Canada, they are betraying even their new friends, and fast!

Trump is a TRAITOR. Putin put $100,000 bounties on American soldiers lives in Afghanistan, and now trump is helping him??? I can't hardly believe this sh!t. Trump should be locked up for this treason to our country and military forces.

Correct - Traditionally 84% of US diesel imports came from Canada, but the US historically imported only 4% of its annual consumption. US is a net exporter, as is Canada. US exports ~67 million metric tons annually Problem isn't supply of refined diesel, it's the cost of a barrel of crude.

5,000,000 metric tons is about 1,600,000,000 US gallons. The US uses on average 160,000,000 gal/day, so Trump just bought a 10-day supply a paltry 2.7% of annual use (~125,000,000 for transportation and another ~35,000,000 gallons for off-road agriculture and industry) www.eia.gov/energyexplai...

eia.govUse of diesel - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)Use of diesel fuel in diesel engines in trucks for transporting goods, and in construction, farming, and mining equipment, and by the military.

So about 10 days worth of average diesel consumption in the US. The Orange felonious traitor sells his integrity and international credibility as cheaply as he decorates the White House. Of course he’s gambling MAGA won’t work this out and realise it will make little or no difference to prices.
