Trump diesel deal undercuts current Russia sanctions, funds the Russian war effort, and lurches towards a full break with Ukraine. It throws into chaos relations with Europe and Ukraine. Trump’s a useful idiot! 😩

1. The U.S. is at war with Iran.
2. Russia is helping Iran in that war.
3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops.
Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports.
The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.
