Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

The amount of Russian diesel we're getting will cover US consumption for two days. It might reduce prices by 0.5% (2/365). That doesn't even qualify as "paltry."

🗞️NOTE: Unless the damned media is going to point out that Trump is a serial liar when they repeat something he alleges, they are wasting everybody's time. Quit giving him air to spout his BS. It is dangerous and irresponsible to continue with this kind of shoddy so-called "journalism."

That dumbass sycophant! People are hurting because of Herr Drumpf. He's not "thinking outside of the box," he's doing Putin's bidding & helping Putin get money to prolong the war with Ukraine. How pathetic can these morons get? So much for supporting Ukraine. 🙄

Was it Netanyahu who tricked Trump into the war with Iran, or was it Trump's owner and master, Putin, who directed him to start a war that would cause global oil shortages, forcing this huge Russian oil sale which will fund the Russian war with Ukraine for years?
