Friday, October 09, 2026

US President Donald Trump says he has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to "immediately release" diesel into the global market. He said Putin had agreed to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another million after that. "Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!" Trump wrote on Truth social.

I was just watching news on this.... turns out the 300k tons of oil for the US is about 18 mins worth.

The total couple of million is less than a tanker full.

This is just more idiotic Midterm dancing he's doing for his Cult.

Oh, and attempted intimidation of Ukraine not to target Russian fuel production.

So. One day's supply.

"In 2025, the U.S. transportation sector used about 2.94 million barrels of diesel fuel per day, which is roughly 350,000 tons daily.". -- AI summary

This reminds me of a Pimp, doling out Newports one by one to his Tricks.

'Plays into Russia's hands,' Zelenskyy tells Trump

The deal gives Putin an economic lifeline as Russia's economy remains under significant strain amid the war in Ukraine."

"In recent weeks, Trump has complained to Zelenskyy about Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy infrastructure.

Zelenskyy, in a statement after Trump announced his deal with Putin, slammed Trump's decision to lift sanctions.

"Any easing of sanctions against Russia without a clear and lasting de-escalation agreement with Russia is an obvious weakness," Zeleneskyy said.

"It plays into Russia's hands " allowing it to kill more, wage war for longer, have even less respect for America, and inflict even greater losses and damage on the world."
