Trump unilaterally attacking Iran is going great. Price of oil isn't coming down, supply from the Middle East isn't anywhere near normal. The only thing that will fix this now is peace, but that likely requires compensation for Iran for Trump attacking them (possibly in the form of tolls).

Trump Hands Victories to Putin, Who Offers More War in Return

Russia has reaped a diesel deal and an increase in U.S. pressure on Ukraine as President Trump’s political needs align with his longstanding inclinations toward Russia.

Why Trump’s Russian Diesel Deal Is Unlikely to Lower Fuel Costs

President Trump’s deal with Russia will probably not lower diesel prices that have soared because of his war with Iran and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries.

The Putin-Trump diesel deal is disastrous and illegal — but it is also a sign of the desperation of both men, one fearing to lose a war, the other to lose an election.

Giorgia Meloni blasts the Trump-Putin diesel deal: "The outcome of this move is questionable, while the risks are clear: legitimising Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, generating new revenue to finance the war, and implicitly weakening the leverage of sanctions."

Trump, his family, and his friends stand to make billions from a deal with Putin.

I know this is a "shocker" to many, but it is painfully obvious by now. There is only one obstacle - Ukraine.

"The slowdown in Starlink terminals comes as U.S. President Donald Trump exerts fierce pressure on Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries. That follows his deal with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to release diesel onto global markets."

Ukrainian officers warn Starlink slowdown ‘comparable to a nuclear strike against us’

Reported restrictions on Elon Musk’s satellite system have revived questions over Kyiv’s reliance on a service controlled by a U.S. company.
