Right, so Donald Trump is once again debasing himself on the world stage, trying to fix one ham-fisted problem he’s created for himself by creating a brand new one, this time having just sent Vladimir Putin a thank-you note for a splash of diesel, which will I have no doubt have Putin rolling around the floor laughing his tiny a*se off over.
And it’s not because Russia has stopped flattening Ukraine, because of course it hasn’t. Nor because Putin has offered up anything resembling a concession, because he’s onto a winner here once more. No, Trump has just flung open the American market to Russian diesel, considered the matter "Mission Accomplished" heading into the Midterms as Americans the country over verge on going all torches and pitchforks again over fuel prices at the pumps, all while handing Putin a sanctions holiday for a shipment that'll keep America running in actuality for about as long as this video will go on for.
Trump is strutting around claiming he's solved America's fuel woes by going cap in hand to the closest thing the West has to a real life Bond villain and handing the Russian President another big win.
No peace deal. No Russia packing up and leaving Ukraine. Not even a half-baked ceasefire scribbled on the back of a napkin.
It’s all for just a tiny bit of diesel. A few barrels of Putin juice.
