    1. The US doesn’t get diesel from Russia though, does it.

      The free market is at work elsewhere, affected by Trump’s Iran stuffup.

    2. If only the USA hadn’t started that unprovoked Iran war, that resulted in the Straight of Hormuz being closed and thus depriving the world of 20% of the raw oil.

    3. So he’s heading over to try to pressure Zelenskyy to stop hurting Russia. Under the guise that the world needs him to stop hurting Russia because Trump made a mess of global supplies.

    4. Trump is genuinely incapable of taking responsibility for his actions. It’s not at all surprising that he’s again failing to do so.

    5. And? Why do you care about fucking Russia? You’re president of the United States, America fist, all that jazz.

      “Bully is causing us problems after starting fight and getting punched in the face. If the victim would let the Bully kill them instead of fighting back then it wouldn’t be a problem”

    7. So trump is scapegoating Ukraine because of his war in Iran?

      If I was a conspiracy theorist it would feel like trump started this war and further reduced the world oil supply just so that there will be more pressure on Ukraine to stop hitting Russia’s oil infra.

      Almost as if he working for Putin.

      Funny how oil prices were quite steady until Iran was attacked. But sure lets blame Ukraine?

      So yeah? This is true. Ruzzia lost control because Ukraine has been bombing them to stop their war machine from killing more Ukrainians. Good for Ukraine. Ruzzian gas is sanctioned anyway right rump?

      Well, Russia could have all the control they had if they didn’t start the military operation.
      Just like the US, started a ‘military operation’ that they can’t end

    11. Simple solution… Putin needs to withdraw his troops back to the original boundaries and cease all hostilities.

      Putin created the Ukraine crisis. He and Trump are 2 peas in the same pod.

    12. “the whole world suffers as a result of this war”

      Trump is one to talk since the whole world is suffering as a result of his war too.

    13. timfountain4444 on

      And the US lost control of its fossil fuel industry due to a fallacious orange orangutang pretending they know what they are doing….

    14. The story isn’t scarcity of diesel, once again it’s about how dumb Trump thinks the rest of us are. Yes Russia is experiencing a shortage but that’s good, fuck russia,and fuck trump.

    15. Reports say Russia is giving Iran satellite information for targets to hit on USA military bases.
      Why does Trump want to help Russia??

      Oh, wait! That’s to bad! Don’t invade a country, don’t bomb their civilian population and infrastructure and guess what? Bad things won’t happen to you in retaliation!

      Destroying russia’s refining capacity is exactly what Ukraine should do, until it is gone, russia is starving for money, and has to sue for peace. That is when Ukraine gets all of its territory back, and reparations for all the terrorism inflicted by russia on Ukraine.

      As for Donny Dumbster and his gaslighting? You had a choice Dumpster and you chose your buddy putin.

    17. Ukraine, do whatever you have to do to win. Don’t listen to one word Tubby Trump says because he’s not capable of geopolitical thoughts right now or ever. Lie to him and you go do you.

    18. You know it’s getting bad for Putin when his top foreign asset is the one having to break the bad news about the diesel industry to the Western media.

    19. Trump is a fucking idiot. HE caused this bullshit by starting a war at Israel’s behest.

      HE promised that the war ion Ukraine would be done “day one”

      HE promised lower prices, and EVERYTHING has increased in price.

      But at least we didn’t get Harris and her weird laugh!!!!!!!

    20. Isn’t Russian diesel under heavy sanctions? No one should buy it anyways, fix your own war and we can return to normal. Don’t ask Ukraine to stop defending them self from Russians invasion and killing Ukrainians.

    21. antigravityshit on

      This is 100% proof of concept. Ukraine needs to damage Russian oil infrastructure beyond repair.

    22. Diesel prices were effectively unaffected when Ukraine started hitting refineries, and remained unaffected until the US hit Iran much later.

    23. Professional_Bat3700 on

      Same old America start a shit show and blame others for the consequence of their action. Oh, it’s because Russia lost control of diesel because Ukraine keeps attacking their energy infrastructure; not because of the war we started with Iran that choked 20% of global oil supply and which led houthis in to the mix that created another choke point for global oil supply chain.

    24. Trump’s master plan (Putin told him so), fuck up the world’s oil production with stupid wars like Venezuela and Iran.

      Get kickbacks from Putin for providing them with more customers.

      Only…. Ukraine fucked up Russia so now Trump has no cards.

    25. >Russia has **unfortunately** lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine,” [Trump](https://kyivindependent.com/tag/donald-trump/) said on his Truth Social platform.

      >The U.S. president added that a large number of Russian “refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission,” noting that the “**whole world suffers**” as a result of the war.

      The whole quote is much worse. What a bitch

      Interesting, I seem to be hearing about stations in the US running out of diesel too. It’s almost as if invading a country that has the ability to negatively affect your supply chain isn’t the brightest idea
