Not enough diesel to matter to our prices, but a boon for Russia. Will probably use the money to help kill Americans too. Isn't there a sanction law on buying Russian fuel?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I have a more practical question: how is it supposed that diesel to be delivered if the refineries have been under pressure and the available fuel is not enough to fully supply the domestic needs?
Its simple! russia sells crude oil to India, India refines it and sells the diesel to russia, South Korea also sells some random shipments of diesel to russia, russia then sells it to the US!
Or something? I dunno. I'm confused about everything these days.
You and me both.
The President of the United States of America gives material aid to America’s enemies.
There is no United States of America, no America's enemies, no America's allies either. There is only Trump and amorphous, vain, mercenary and oblivious Trumpism sitting in a world of non-Trump fodder commodities.
Nah, Americans are responsible for their government. Just like Germans were responsible for Hitler. Americans could take to the streets and shut down the country.
Hmm, that sure sounds like treason to me. Back in my day the understanding was being treasonous could get you the death penalty.
What diesel? They lost half their refining capacity in the last year and don't even have enough diesel for their own usage.
They're planning on it never coming, then blaming it on the Dems after they win a bunch of seats in the midterms because of how abysmal everything is going under Trump.
Safe Republican areas already saw increases in primary turnout and swings of up to 40 points. Even with the fuckery they know theyre going to lose and are planning on trying to pin the blame wherever they can.
Bingo!!!!!
Trump admin is threatening to withdraw support to Ukraine if they continue strikes on oil industry.
Europe has been planning for this for a while now. It's going to suck but once it's clear the midterms are compromised, Trump can and will throw Ukraine fully under the bus, no more pretense.
It adds up to me.....it's why Putin hasn't given up (he knows his opportunity is coming), why Trump is not acting like the midterms matter at all, why Europe has been moving to a war footing (Russia has no momentum, so there's obviously an inflection point coming).
Is it really that hard to believe? I've been sure of this for well over a year (midterms being ignored/illegitimate, MAGA taking full power afterward). I really, really hope I'm wrong and will admit my ignorance if I am, but I just don't see any other logical outcome that doesn't involve something like a friendly coup or other black swan event
I would love it for European NATO countries to start seizing Russian tankers bound for America.
Inaccurate headline.
Trump said that stuff. No one else has confirmed it. He says a lot of stuff that ends up wrong or a lie. Statistically, believing him is the only way to mess this up.
There's literally Russian tanker entering USA waters. In order to get there now, the ship must have left the port weeks ago so the decision was made even earlier.
The story went in a same way when USA decided to buy belorussian fertilizer. Ship went ahead when the white house was in deep denial only to revert course a day or so before she hit the USA waters.
True but given that the American institutions bowed down to Trump, the sanctions on Russia will be relieved.
The timing is unbelievable.
Jokes. Its totally believable. That fat piece of shit doesn’t do anything for anyone but himself. This is all to manipulate votes.
It's more to help Putin with a big dump of cash. Russia is running out of more than diesel.
The only policy is "Me, me, meeeee!"
Traitor to the free world.
And Americans just sit on their ass and shrug their shoulders. What a fucking joke.
America needs cheap oil because Trump fucked with Iran.
Iran shoots everything going through the straight. Trump buys diesel from Russia. Russia spends money to buy weapons in Iran. Iran spends these money to produce weapons. Iran keeps shooting everything going through straight.
... fucking winning eh?
