    Lol, the sludge the russian refineries are producing nowadays would absolutely fuck up any recent US car; even the cars in Russia currently have a shockingly high frequency of garage trips. If you are lucky, you only have to swap out the fuel filter, if you are unlucky, your engine becomes a chunk of scrap metal. There are videos of people pulling slimy chunks of whatever the fuck that stuff is out of their fuel.

    And what Diesel exactly does Putin want to export? Only probable way i can currently imagine is transporting crude to India and the refined Diesel from there to the US. Russia is currently a net Diesel IMPORTER.

    Btw, there is no guarantee Russian crude or Diesel ever makes it to the US, and that is something that even the US can’t prevent. UA is very adapt at transmuting russian tankers into pillars of flame and smoke nowadays.

      If Ukraine hits those ships, Trump will say Zelensky attacked the US and seize all support. He is looking for an opportunity to finally align with his favorite Tsar

        That swimming transgression against air quality is gone at least, and the Ukrainians are funnily not the cause, it was all self inflicted.

        • first, the refit was delayed for years
        • then, the largest floating drydock they had sank because of an power outage, smashing a 19m² hole into the boat with a 70 ton crane
        • while they tried to fix this damage and upgrade the systems, a large fire broke out that caused 8 times the amount of financial damage the crane caused
        • and then they took the 1500 crewmen and sent them to the frontline

        There are currently no plans to reactivate this abomination

          Ah I wasn’t aware she’d been decommissioned, Poseidon himself has finally got fed up with the Russian Navy smoking in his house!

            She hasn’t been decommissioned officially yet, but there also aren’t any plans to get it working again because of the exorbitant costs for that. Add to that the problems of getting parts to bring her to a somewhat recent standard, and the only future i see for this thing is trading its scrap value for some Pepsi.

    Russia’s literally got lines for fuel, Trump’s just lying about the fuel coming into the US after G7 released its’ reserves to make Putin look good.

      The way I see it, Putin managed to convince Trump to put himself in a position where he has to pressure Ukraine into stopping attacks on Russian refineries. This is a straight up win for Putin.
