      Trump’s religion is the worship of Trump.

      He’s been singlularly ineffective at gaining wealth except by theft, and he is too stupid to wield power effectively.

    Zelensky listened to the US early on and left the petro alone. Big mistake as it may have ended the war by now if Russia didn’t have the petro dollars.

    “Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump said. “Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel.”

    Fucking idiot.

    But Trump said America doesn’t need anyone else’s oil, and the they harvest and produce more than anyone else, so they won’t be affected by any of this.

    Does this mean he lied to me?

    My question = Has Trump ever told Putin to stop striking civilian infrastructure in Ukraine?

    Ukraine was forced to attack Russian refineries by Trump’s war on Iran. That war sent fuel prices skyrocketing, and thereby also Russia’s oil revenue, which Putin uses to fund the war. In order to hinder Russia’s ability to wage war, Ukraine had no option but to start blowing up Russian refineries. At least that way Russia doesn’t profit from Trump’s inflated oil prices.

    And with Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, it’s impossible to argue it’s not a legitimate target. If Trump doesn’t like it, he has to provide an alternative. Complaining about the consequences of his actions isn’t going to fix anything.

      Zynism:

      I’d almost bet we see Trump threatening Ukraine with the US entering the war on Russias side in the next months…

    Does the US even provide anything to Ukraine anymore? Because I thought that at this point Ukraine is just fighting with weapons/gear they get from European countries and stuff they built for themselves. What leverage does he have on Ukraine? Can he stop providing them ammo? Lol no, the US apparently doesn’t have enough for themselves. There’s also the simple fact that European countries can just get stuff from the US and pass it on to Ukraine, and they’re being more and more willingly to do it since Russia is starting to attack them.

    Trump and everyone around him are such morons it’s painful. If they wanted to have leverage over Ukraine they should have kept supplying them so they could hold those supplies over their heads in cases like these. Now it’s just words nobody cares about.

    What is he gonna do otherwise? Invade Ukraine? Support Russia militarily?

    Man this kind of incompetence would be quite funny if there weren’t so many people dying.
