The volumes Trump cited, roughly 300,000 tons of Russian diesel immediately, plus follow-ons totaling a few million tons, are tiny in global terms. They equal only about a day or two of US diesel demand and cannot meaningfully shift prices beyond a short-term market blip or sentiment play that Trump desperately needs now xDRussia gains politically: the announcement lands precisely as Russian forces intensify airstrikes on Ukraine, signaling that Kievs fate ranks low among US priorities. It drives a wedge into NATO, especially Eastern-flank states like Bolanda that demand strict isolation of Moscow.The war itself continues unchanged. Russia has already escalated against NATO countries exclusive economic zones and border areas. Moscow will keep bombing Ukrainian targets; Kiev will keep hitting Russian refineries. Those Ukrainian strikes, however, now risk being framed as defiance of Trumps deal handing Washington an easy narrative to blame Ukraine and Europe for any further escalation. xDClaims that Russia is abandoning Iran lack foundation. Moscow is actively helping Tehran expand Caspian Sea port infrastructure to evade US blockades and is supplying critical weapon components that Iran uses to attack oil tankers (reportedly up to 15 a week now) while extracting 10-20% of cargo value from those allowed to pass.Russia takes everything, the USrael takes pretty much nothing from this deal except of temporary speculative diesel price relief xD
>>544075813Uhm, it's more than political for Russia, if the Trump admin is retarded enough to attempt to cockblock Ukraine from striking Russian tankers and the refineries.
>>544076173>cockblock Ukraine from striking Russian tankers and the refineries.Can they? I think that USrael is too weak to force Ukraine to do what it doesnt want to do. But the US of A could close one eye on Russian attempts to cut Ukraine completely from Europe with using significant escalation of strikes vs border and logistics infrastructure between Poland/Romania and Ukraine.
As always, President Putin is literally playing 7D chess. Trump is desperate for more oil, and Putin understands that this deal means the US will be more dependent on Russia for fuel.Absolutely genius. If Russia decides to invade the Baltics within the next 5 years, it can use this as leverage. The US will have to either surrender the Baltic states or just abandon Europe entirely. We will see a resurgent Russian empire in our lifetime.
>Kiev will keep hitting Russian refineries. Those Ukrainian strikes, however, now risk being framed as defiance of Trumps deal handing Washington an easy narrative to blame Ukraine and Europe for any further escalation. xDIt already begins. xD
>>544076791Who cares? The US made itself irrelevant in this conflict anyway.
>>544075813do you understand why trump did this or are your analytical skills not that great. I bet it's the second option. It's really a shame because you're only telling one half of the story.
>>544076256Ukraine is still dependent on the US when it comes to some ammo types and the systems, and there's intel sharing, which arguably might be even more critical. So if they would like to exercise some leverage, they have a set of painful options at hands. It would make Europe see the though, leading to a worsened relationship between the both.>>544076791Woah. Tbh, this could still be just a public performance.
>>544076971>see theseethe*
>>544076938Trumps pre-midterm panic over $6+ diesel has driven him to strong-arm Europe into draining its reserves under threat of an export cutoff, a move EU diplomats call "blackmail". The Russian diesel deal (suspending sanctions for imports) is a desperate, strategically hollow fix. Europe and Ukraine are treated as expendable, the real target might be the euros encroachment on dollar hegemony, weakening "allies" to preserve reserve-currency dominance.
I really don't think russians should be feeding a beast which one day (and it will) shall turn on them like a nigger pitbull.
>>544076933MAGA is pretty much dead when next Congress takes place thing will change.
>>544075813>50 new oblasts
>>544076971You dont need US weapon, Starlink and intel to hit Russian refineries tho. Their location is fixed. What you need is a big drone swarm.
>>544076971>>544077298BTW, i cant really tell if Starlink enables Ukrainian drones over Russia. US intel probably helps Ukraine to identify Russian AD assets and engineer drone path in such a way to try to avoid them. If Starlink is being used over Russia and live intel support of USrael really works (doubt desu), then reducing these two things, would degrade effectiveness of Ukrainian strikes for sure. But it wouldnt stop them. Ukraine receives satellite intel not only from the US after all.
>>544075813>The war itself continues unchanged. Russia has already escalated against NATO countries exclusive economic zones and border areas.What is this retard claiming?
>>544076791Good, Americans need to suffer for their retarded leaders bad decisions. They voted for this.
Ukraine trannies should all die, that's my feeling on the matter. I do not give a fuck. I cannot see how my life would be meaningfully different if every Ukrainian died tomorrow and Russia took Ukraine. Who cares?
>>544077784>diaspora russian doesn't see a problem with russia getting biggerimagine my shock
Biden asked Zelensky to stop using missiles that would hit Russian refineries back in 2024 because he wanted lower prices for the upcoming electionsZelensky complied because the US still had leverage over UkraineNow they stopped supplying Ukraine yet still have demands, what do they expect? They have no cards
>>544075813ok pidor.
>>544076791>you shouldn't rely on us!>you didn't say "thank you"!>go work with EU, we don't care!>i love putin also!>why are you doing things that hurt us?>don't you want our help?As expected of that administration
>>544075813This "deal" is a nothingburger to manipulate markets. It will work because Wall Street are subhumans, the market manipulation worked the last 1000 fucking times, it will work again, they are cattle. But Russia has no diesel to sell to anyone, Ukraine is pushing their shit in.
>>544077924The only realistic chance for Russia to achieve a longstanding peace is defeating Ukraine and reconnecting its mainland with Kaliningrad by annexing baltic chihuahas xD
>>544075813>begging old bread-line Russia for dieselHe's lucky he has no shame or the mind to remember this because that's a fucking seppuku-tier decision.
>>544075813You lost tranny.
>>544075813holy fuck your pic made me kekwell done, polacko !10/10
>>544075813can I beg / borrow / steal op pic ?
>>544078313>>544078374I downloaded it from X. It is not mine.
>>544076791Would strikes on Russian energy and other vital infrastructure be more acceptable to DC? I guess. :^)
>>544076971>performanceHow many ds for this chess? The incentives are obvious for all parties. Trump realizes his political power ends with the election next month. Putin needs cash and he needs to divide and isolate everyone he can. Ukraine needs to keep pushing if they want to end their survival war anytime soon.What you have are three desperate men colliding.
>>544075813if it's so little then why usa is buying diesel from russia which it sanctioned?
>>544078657Another PR stunt attemped by Zognald to psyche the markets into dropping prices
>>544078411so, yoink !thank you very much
>>544077183That won't have anything to do with Ukraine making energy more expensive.
>>544078657I already explained it is not about buying anything. People on this imageboard are truly low IQ xD
>>544078036Russia can't defeat anything. They can't defeat chihuahuas or anything. They're completely over.
>>544075813Even when russia bends the knee you still cope. I guess you haven't been given new talking points from handlers yet.
>>544078752Russia proves to be far more powerful and effective in Ukraine than USrael could ever be in Iran. xD
>>544078706how long will this deal last? probably not very long
>>544075813Guys, Trump's term ends Jan 3, 2027. The deal won't last.
>>544078753bent the knee to whom, you stupid nigger? you're becoming more dependent on russia now lol. its a win for Putin and a total loss for shitmerica
>>544076306I don't think is really about Putin being a genious but Trump having become a complete puppet of their jewish relatives.
>>544078799topkek
>>544075813>boomer gambles everything on a swallow prospect of a victoryAre we really surprised?
>>544078783Papua New Guinea could be more powerful and effective than the US in Iran. Trump and the Republicans are the weakest leaders in all of human history, if a couple dozen of their worthless fatfuck troops whose whole entire job it is is to fight and die, die, they immediately fold and run away, cause they have no political capital whatsoever.
>>544078700Is it so? Why US-Israel provoke the current situation in Hormuz?
>>544078783>In September 2026, Russian forces suffered a net territorial loss of 80.81 square kilometers in Ukraine, despite claims of having seized more territory. They actually captured approximately 175.54 square kilometers but lost 256.35 square kilometers due to Ukrainian counteroffensives.Seems like all this propaganda is necessary because Russia is winning...
>>544078908They thought it would be easy and the insane gamble didn't pay off
>>544078969>Seems like all this propaganda is necessary because Russia is winning...Ukraine is doing a propaganda tho, to extort another 100 bln euro from bankrupt Eurofaggots xDLyman "offensive" being mostly a psyop?https://youtu.be/RYclaXp-bks>[ Lyman Front, Donetsk region ] Ukraine MOD reports continued to look as if there was never a major Ukrainian advance, as they were still reporting fighting at Novoselivka, Derylove and Drobysheve. Why isnt there fighting being reported at Zelena Dolyna, Kolodyazi or Stavky??? The only sense of "advance" was the periodic fighting being reported at Zarichne (but this fighting reports do appear occasionally before the major Ukrainian counter offensive at the Lyman region.https://x.com/DefensePolitics/status/2107849561612185623
>According to Reuters, the first 300,000 metric tonnes equate to approximately 2.25 million barrels of diesel.>US diesel demand is approximately 4 million barrels per daySo it is a bit of a nothingburger But still >be USA>blow up European pipelines to Russia>secure your own trade deals for Russian fuelEmbarrassing for Europe.
>>544075813Imagine Russia using that money to bomb US assets in Europe. That would be funny LMFAO
>>544079053They will once the war starts within the next 5 years
>>544079053>bomb US assets in Europe.Russia already does it, so far in Ukraine. For the first time ever, Russia began to bomb US investments in 2026, destroying entire plants and warehouses of such brands like PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, McDonalds and many others, to rise cost of the Ukraine war for the West
>>544079020ukraine's strategy is just to make exaggerated claims, get debunked, and then reduce those claims to something more realistic. lol
>>544079037We are the largest oil producer in the world, we don't necessarily need some huge amount to stabilize prices.
>>544079020How much did Russia advance in September?
>>544079144In 2025, the US produced a record 13.6 million b/d but still imported 6.2 million b/d and exported only 4 million b/d, leaving net crude imports of 2.2 million b/d. The country still remains a net importer of crude oil.
>>544075813Poles are American boot licking cucks.
>>544079037>>be USA>>blow up European pipelines to Russia>>secure your own trade deals for Russian fuelYou're mixing up completely unrelated timelines.Trump is trying to solve his midterms problem using a PR move. The US doesn't really need Russian fuel, this is to psyop the markets into dropping prices.
>>544075813do people not know about hydrogen and that it can run diesel engines and how anyone can produce it at home?
test
>>544079181This a modern drone saturated attrition warfare. Fast land grab is impossible vs thousands of hidden UAV points. Russian strategy is killing all bussifed hohols and taking on Ukrainian economy to cause an internal collapse.
>>544075813Well shucks. Looks like China gets those lithografic machines from europe then.
>>544079103And thanks to Trump, it will go beyond Ukraine.
>>544079181>in September?why are you such a cherry picking cunt, cia base nigger faggot ?
>>544079181After Russia takes the fortress belt its going to be full on maneuver warfare
>>544077721They sunk some Ukrainian ships in Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone.
>>544079181They took my uncle jimmy cow farm in september. Putin was so proud.
>>544075813damn maybe you should run the world
>>544079454Probs not, fields and treelines are pretty defensible now. But there will be more and more pressure on ukrainians to make a deal because what's the point of losing even more territory - after donbas Russians will become more open to freezing the situation at the line of contact.
>>544079454>>544079618How could Russia magically advance after taking those cities, when the problem will be the same except translated to a slightly different position.It's not like they're going to magically grow invulnerable to drones or artillery shots.Really taking those cities is just a question of political survival for Putin. He's trying to save face by completing Donbas. Russia has no capacity to go further than that, because it doesn't have the money to wage war for much longer.But then Ukraine has no obligation to stop if it loses Donbas. They could keep spamming drones for another decade on Moscow.
>>544079474On the Romanian EEZ too, and the ships were NATO-bounded - the ship was owned by Turkey (NATO member) and the cargo was going to Italy (NATO member). The only Ukrainian thing on the ship was the cargo (grain).
>>544075813>tinyStill treasonMutts and nato by extension are not to be trusted
>>544079973>But then Ukraine has no obligation to stop if it loses Donbas. They could keep spamming drones for another decade on Moscow.I dont think Ukraine would exist for so long, considering trends of the industrial warfare xDRussia acts slowly but surely.Pic-rel: Russian drone activity over Ukraine (overview)Graphs, from the top to the bottom- monthly intensity of long range drone strikes (Geran)- range of Geran drones- confirmed strikes all over Kiev from last few weeks that ended up with impact/destruction of targets (infrastructure, railway, energy, companies, factories, etc)- potential targets for Geran-5 (longer range) all over Poland- destroyed locomotives a month- destroyed warehouses a month
>>544079973They're just going to keep grinding, this is an industrial war now and they're aiming at creating a very real threat of collapse of Ukrainian state. And you can tell it's having an effect because every other week there is a revised projection for how much money Ukraine will need next year just to survive.This hasn't been a big arrow war for a long time.
>>544080111The money itself, even giving entire Ukraines GDP in printed money (250 bln dollar a year) cant fix daily destroyed infrastructure amid ongoing depopulation of Ukraine and manpower shortages
>>544075813Death to America.Glory to Ukraine.
>>544075813Germany confirmed right. Russia is needed for fossil energy and it's stupid to sanction them. Trump said, Germany must not boy energy from Russia because Russia is evil and must not be financially supported.>>544076173Nobody gains anything from Ukraine striking Russia energy infrastructure. The globe will be mad at Ukraine if Ukraine causes others not to have oil and gas. Ukraine didn't even exist before 1991.
>>544076791USA should team up with Russia to pacify Ukraine. They can blame it on Germany who's the only pay pig left who funds the war. Then they could say it's like 1945 when USA and Russia defeated Germany who wanted war with Russia, even though Germany only delivered helmets when the war started.
>>544079347>And thanks to Trump, it will go beyond UkraineOnly Eastern Europe, countries like Baltics, Poland, maybe Romania if the ongoing protests there wont manage to change government. Western Europe will be safe, Russia will never attack the West, but making the war regional is going to seriously hurt already troubled EU economies. Poland must join this war because the situation of Ukraine (especially manpower) is critical. But i believe that moving kinetic strikes (like drones) and reestablishing a mandatory draft in here have a serious potential to disintegrate this country from inside.
>>544080469>maybe Romania if the ongoing protests there wont manage to change governmentWhat protests, you are spreading disinfo xD
>>544080469Nobody is going to join shit, and Poland isn't about to waive its article 5 protections. Ukraine will be supported for as long as it's practical and cut loose. People seriously overestimate anyone's willingness to commit suicide over Ukraine.
>>544080033Well at the rate at which Ukrops are bombing Russia's refineries and trucks, I'm not sure there will be any vehicle able to travel across those territories by next year.With the fuel shortages in Russia and recently the bombed data center in Moscow, Russia might not have a functional state next year.
>>544080590Thats a silly assumption. It wont happen. The war would only escalate while Russia having an industrial and manpower edge.
>>544080547I heard that few thousand people protested vs arrest of some presidential candidate that tried to mix Romania out from any war
xDtrannies feasting
>>544080583>Poland isn't about to waive its article 5 protections.It wont. It will be dragged into the war on similar rules like Ukraine
>>544080744Becoming a co-belligerent is a surefire way to lose those protections. Warsaw will stay out of it, count on it.
>>544080469> Western Europe will be safeMost of the Russian spy drones incidents were in western Europe.> Poland must join this war Of course they do. If they don't, Russia will be parading at their border.> But i believe that moving kinetic strikes (like drones) and reestablishing a mandatory draft in here have a serious potential to disintegrate this country from inside.No draft needed. It will be a mostly a remote war for the west. Ukraine will hold the trenches in the frontlines alongside the Baltic states and Finland while Western Europe and Russia will be exchanging drones and missile strikes.
>>544075813Op, you said you support Iran and Houthis.How does this deal help them?
>>544075813Still good that we're opening trade and relations with Russia. Wtf do we gain from Ukraine? They have no oil, orher resources, or any notable industry.
>>544075813>Moscow will keep bombing Ukrainian targets;Jesus wept, how pathetic.War started back in 2014 and in 2026 Ukrainen is bombing Russia daily ;-(
>>544080881I support nobody, but i like Iran, emotionally xD This "deal" changes nothing for Iran.
>>544076306>selling resources is genius.Are Norwegians and Gulf Arabs smartest people on earth?
>>544076791>trump is gonna invade Ukraine to protect Siberia
>>544075813Once its left port EU can pirate it or bid for it. Trump is throwing those goobers another life line.
>>544080670>A few thousand people protestedThere's a guy who is accused of financial fraud in his past political campaign. There are always some crazies making some noise when someone famous goes to a trial, that doesn't mean it's significant in any way.
>>544075813Art of the deal
>>544076791Putin's dick is always in Trump's ass, if you chop his dick, Trump's ass is gonna bleed as well.
>>544077123putin is gonna earn a few shekels, but it seems that Europe is gonna benefit more?
>>544080259Say this when vance is elected as president. Right now i wouldn't be so strong on this. Usa under republicans is of course israel first, but it will be a lot worse if vance wins in 2028. It will be strictly pro israel and pro russia if he's president.
>>544080996Benefit more from what?
>>544080911This deal would help alleviate the pressure Iran and allies are putting on Nato.But then again, shelomov sold weapons to enemies of Serbia and India.
>>544081012Vance won't win shit. Trump destroyed his legacy lmao.
>>544081014Lower diesel prices
>>544080860>Most of the Russian spy drones incidents were in western Europe.That was literally collective psychosis lmao.
>>544081038This deal changes nothing for Iran. Iran is too important for both Russia and China to use it as a bargain chip.
>>5440810480.001$ lower diesel prices AND 1 trillion dollar more defense spending.
>>544081048Amounts of diesel mentioned in this Trump-Putin deal are microscopic compared to needs and shortages. It is one day of US consumption
>>544076791Trump will sell Russia some Patriots then. It's in our interest to keep Russia's oil production safe.
>>544081133>in (((our interest)))Ok boomer migger. Tick tock, elections coming.
>>544081153Mutt corporations would rather sell on the global market and make more money than sell to their own mutts
>>544080984get mental help

>>544081133He will never give Russia patriots until they prove their worth by killing 1 million Ukrainian kids using the money they got from the diesel deal.
>>544081192Yes obviously, as do stockholders. Trump's threat to ban exports was completely hollow.
>>544081192How is that different from Norway or Russia?
>>544081759Russia has had a fuel export ban since last year, I think.
>>544081775Private military companies are illegal in Russia.Russia invaded Ukraine to "denazifyi " it but let 200 azov members go in exchange of one Jew.
