White House officials are privately pressuring U.S. companies to accept Russian diesel despite legal and reputational risks, The Washington Sun reported on Oct. 29.

      Chances are pretty high that the diesel is actually from Iran :/

      I mean it’s quite the tradition for the USA to help authoritarian leaders if it means more capital for their industry and banks. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been its allies, while it demonizes Islam at home. It’s currently helping Israel genocide Palestinians since forever. It invaded Afghanistan to destroy Taliban, only to hand it over to Taliban 20 years later.

      So many examples.

      So yeah, It’s really not unique to Trump.

        Yesterday in the span of one day Russians:

        • killed 14 and injured over 14 with a shrapnel loaded reactive done strike on Dnipro train station
        • stroke a house in Kremenchuk, killed three and injured 15, three of which are children
        • hit center of Chernyhiv killing two 15 year old girls and injured 23, of which for children aged from 10 months to 16 years
        • threw gliding bombs on Izyum, casualties yet unclear

        So, who of these people were Nazis and what’s the acceptable nazi-to-non-nazi casualty ratio?

          Heard. Don’t shoot at nazis because the “non nazis” protecting the Nazis aren’t Nazis.

          Forgot.

            That’s some schizophasia.

            You didn’t answer the question though.

            I mean, maybe instead read it as “don’t bomb civilians just because some people in the armed forces (though not nearly as many as in Russia’s) are nazis”?

        Ah yes, Ukraine has done nothing but defend itself from the onslaught of Russia for years now. Way to be a cultist brainwashed dick or a bot
