      Ugh. We need them to tell the turd in chief to go pound sand, not to cater to his demands.

      Thank god France, Germany and Italy are members of the EU so they can avoid US pressure… Oh

      Dear US vassals-

      Your job isn’t to question.  You don’t think, you only do.  Do what daddy America tells you. 

      Don’t step out of line again.

      I get that they want to avoid a ban, but you just know with how Trump does everything that Putin wants, that this does not mean it will help for the entire duration of winter.

      And he’ll taunt it as a win for his irrational pressure tactics, ignoring the fact that had he done it, it would also have hurt the US, but ultimately he does not care about the average American, so that does not bother him.

      Edit: Seems this might just be a fraction of a release that was originally planned for march by the G7, but didn’t happen, so it is actually less then what was planned to be released in march.

      God damn it

      Edit: saw in different comments that this was already a decided move and the Trump admins just timed the threat to coincidence with this… Hmmm

      Trump told Xi it was ok for them to stop exports and he’ll push the EU to release this time since it’s their turn. Sounds like team work!

      Europe helping Trump lower the price of oil which helps Trump in the midterm elections is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a long while.

      He’s on the ropes.

      US holds (illegitimate) Venezuela president hostage and pumps tons of oil while EU struggles massively. Trump threatens to severe ties and yet we’re still acting in good faith. I bet US will win more from all the shenanigans happening now and in the future, at least than EU. May be even more than China.

      At this point it seems like the only country currently standing up to Trump’s BS is Canada

      Spineless. Instead of attempting some deal, they just signal that they are weak and will always bend over, at our own disadvantage

      Deplete your reserves going into winter, so that you can appease the orange idiot and help keep prices down ahead of his midterms. Watch him announce a ban on US exports once they’re over with 🤣🤦‍♂️

      I like how everytime something happens at first everyone is like “yeah, the EU fights back! we won’t tolerate bullies, that serves them well” and then a day later they capitulate.

      Like i get it, it was funny the first 3 times but i think it’s not that funny anymore guys.
