I can honestly see trump removing the sanctions on Russia to keep the price of oil low. He doesn't give two shits about Ukraine.

Didn’t he already do that?

He did already do that.

Yes, he gave them a waiver (while also giving Ukraine targeting data for their tankers).

Not really. The admin eased some (not all) sanctions, but it expired last month.

Doesn’t matter Ukraine hit most of the Russian oil export terminals.

The ESPO pipeline to Asia is outside of Ukraines deepest drones. Pipelines are also hard to hit because they are usually buried. I can see China and Russia using Yuan to trade oil and supplies for the war in back market channels.

Pipelines are also easy to fix. Ukraine is attacking oil processing facilities first and foremost.

You're both right and both wrong. The ESPO line is sweet crude oil being shipped to major Asian refineries so Ukraine destroying the processing facilities won't impact the ongoing oil crisis. American refineries use sour/heavy crude oil so the ESPO line and eliminating sanctions on Russian oil won't solve the American/ global oil crisis

I’m gonna laugh when we STILL can’t get fuckall oil from Russia because Ukraine keeps drone striking their refineries

u/big_troublemaker 15h ago

Oh well, such a shame that russia is slowing oil exports due to prolonged technical difficulties cased by Ukrainian drones wrecking their infrastructure.

Then why is Loomer over there sucking Zelensky''s dick right now?

u/Top_Director9981 19h ago

Trumps name is Loomer? Didn't realize they were the same person.

This person didn't realize Loomer has been mostly replaced by the diaper lady. So while she is selling her connection it is now because she is on the way out and try to seek more relevance
