Free weekend out. The big story is that Donald Trump is now free to be what he always was--strong supporter of Vladimir Putin and an agent pushing for Russian victory.

…, a Greek tanker was loading sanctioned Russian diesel in St Petersburg’s Peterburgskiy Neftyanoy Terminal. It sailed for the US on September 23rd and will arrive to the East Coast in one week, likely the Port of Wilmington
