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.
100% this. At this point all the “ohh, but don’t talk about (shitty thing The Dictator did this week), talk about the Epstein files” bullshit is just a smoothly running distraction campaign that works for MAGA.
American’s do not care that Trump is a rapist and a paedophile. They made their peace with that long ago and elected him anyway.
Honestly, I can’t even understand the motivation. “Ohh, if only the Great American People knew he diddled kids, we’d get rid of him. The millions of dead overseas (between wars started or extended and USAID), the rebuilding of the US Federal machine as a tool of fascist oppression, state control of media, masked goons disappearing people in the street, all of that stuff we’re pretty fine with, but diddling some white blonde kids is where we draw the line.” Do you think this makes you look good?
