Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.

Ukraine’s long-range strikes have been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry for months, which Kyiv says both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s more than four-year-old invasion of its neighbor.

The Ukrainian drone campaign has caused fuel rationing across Russia, despite the country being a key oil and gas exporter. Other Ukrainian strikes targeted major Russian online retailers, bringing the war ever closer to the public.

Stop or what? You'll pull all aid? You'll pressure Ukraine to surrender to the Russians?

Oh wait, you've already done that.

Get fucked, Russian puppet Trump.

    While I don't want to be a Negative Nancy, I also don't want the remaining forces of the West to lose touch with reality, so I feel I should point out that there are still things Trump could do to put even more pressure on Ukraine, so we shouldn't be flippant about the threat he still poses.

    To be clear, I don't disagree with the fact that Trump needs to take a long walk off a short pier. My point is that we can't afford to convince ourselves that Trump has already done all the damage he's going to do.

    Shouldn't? 100%.

    Wouldn't? 0%

    I feel the fuck Trump mentality to my bones. And I get that talking shit in our little corner of the internet will accomplish fuck all either way, so have at it.

    But in the big picture, Tango is right, Trump has the power to make things much worse for Ukraine, and the emotional maturity of a two year old. The means don't justify the ends, especially when those ends are Trump switching from passive fucking with Ukraine, to active.

    This was the funniest bit :

    The global shortage "isn't done by the ​Middle East, ⁠this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine," Trump added.

    Oh now he's suddenly concerned lmao.

    Funny, he didn't seem concerned when fucking the Hormuz Strait and then lifting oil sanctions for Putin to sell off oil at a premium.

    Hope Ukraine doubles their strike rate.

    Instead of calling on Russia to end the war which would also stop the attacks and have the benefit of stopping the fucking killing of families and shit

    Help me to understand this. The US has sanctioned oil and diesel exports from Russia, so the US isn't getting oil from Russia, right? So, if Russian oil exports are reduced or stopped, this would have no impact on the US. The US is only concerned about what happens to the US, so what am I missing?

    Like most presidents, Trump's term will end with a helicopter ride.

    Except it won't be Marine One.

    Trump will be evacuated from the White House by an FSB extraction helicopter.
