Wowwwwwww so uh… guys… sounds like the SPR is getting tapped out 🙃
What a time to be alive 🤠
Side note: I’m genuinely curious if any of his sycophants and die-hard fans have any awareness whatsoever of how absolutely transparent the Orange fuckwit is, and how childishly obvious the motives for his actions are. Negotiating with that nonce must be like trying to play chess with a kindergartener who refuses to understand that the game is not, in fact, checkers.
Take the ban and move on.
Yea, no shit. Then watch the US oligarchs lose their minds.
This tells me our own stocks must be running dry
It’s fucking weird…

The simplest tell that the US administration is concerned about the level of their own diesel stocks. Probably because gas price increases are speculated in the weeks up to the midterm elections.
The one positive of Trump is that other countries become determined to get off of fossil fuels.
They've tipped their hand so forcefully that it almost feels like it's the plan, if it weren't for all the other evil shit convincing me otherwise anyhow
He is trying to temporarily lower diesel prices before the midterm elections.
What they aren't talking about is that trump also has drained the US strategic petroleum reserve. When they stop drawing that down, things will get really ugly.
Hey! You over there! Yeah, so we started a fight we can't win and it cost us all our gas reserves. Give us yours now. Oh you had nothing to do with it? Who cares, gimmie gimme gimme!
in reaction to the US attacking iran, germany sanctioned iran. so, y'know...
nothing to do with it? lol, they are perpetrators of genocide, murder, rape and pillage.
Did I miss a story where France and Germany attacked Iran and interfered with a massive traffic lane of diesel? This is all on the US.
Merz did say Israel is doing Europe’s or Germany’s dirty work by attacking Iran
speedrun to crash the global economy
I suspect the global economy is kind of like a chicken running with its head cut off at this point. The energy shortage is structural and cannot be fixed in the near term. And the effects of that have been masked by the fact that tankers were already out when the war started, and took some time to get to their destination, then by countries opening up the reserves. Now both of these amortization measures are exhausted, and we'll see the real price of energy take effect.
i fully expect the brunt to be felt after the midterm elections -- sparing trump and his ilk from the worst of the fallout.
yeah an energy crisis right before the election would be a disaster for them
