Lol
Boycott Russia yes but maybe the oil could go to Cuba since the US has blockaded them so badly?
LMAO even
Good time to issue some letters of marque.
Djt- Pedophile of the United States of israel
Reminds me of the Bay of Pigs. Real American patriots doing their duty (voting) caused those ships to turn around.
After yesterday, this prez admin has no incetive to spend time and money to placate the masses in any way, real or fake. Instead their interest lays in grifting as much as possible in the time they have left, and hurting Americans as much as possible because the pain will be ascribed to the democrats. So there was likely a phone call to Moscow - “Turn the diesel back.”
It was all just a stunt for the election anyway. Now that it’s over, they don’t need it anymore and Trump can stop pretending he gives a shit about the fuel prices again.
It’s not like importing a couple days’ worth of fuel was gonna change prices anyway. It was just a way to funnel money to daddy putin.
Not even a couple of days, just 18 hours according to the Guardian.
My first thought: that’s ridiculous…
But then I recall the vile man has done lots of ridiculous stunts.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Well, how is it untypical?
Well, there’s a lot of these ships going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen. I don’t want anyone thinking that tankers aren’t safe.
I feel dirty even saying it, but it’s honestly pretty funny that Putin shipped 140,000 tonnes of diesel into the middle of the Atlantic just to pull a fake out move.
they will have another buyer lined up probably in South America or Africa, where the sanctions aren’t as common
Russia has had diesel shortages for months, that fuel will probably head straight back to Russia.
Would 6 hours of diesel do much anyways?
Maybe they’ve detoured to Cuba.
Hah, that would be good!
Weren’t some ports banning or banned from accepting the Russian oil?
Why are they heading into the Med? Egypt?
The Black Sea is how Russia does a lot of its shipping.
Okay, so to be blown up by the Ukrainians in the deadliest waters in the world.

Ukraine is not going to spill 140k tonnes of diesel in their front yard.
I wonder if they were actually loaded or if this was just a stunt.
If there are photos of the ships, you can tell by how low they are sitting in the water.
